Hilarious but true! ;-) Playing devil's advocate for a moment, it could be argued that most of these site-building steps apply whether it's a web site or not. Selecting the images, for example. Moreover, my approach of creating a stack to update and manage an entire web site, given that it is generating the HTML of a web site, is even more work than just putting together the same site without this site [re-]generator, but the advantages of this extra work pay off big dividends when [unpredictable] changes need to done, in terms of content as well as appearance and structure. With the stack, changing the bg image of all of the pages is as simple as changing the content of one field (type it in and/or a "browse" button) and then clicking on the "Regenerate this site" btn. Very fast, very effective, no multiple pages to change, no risk of human-error ... Pure joy! And this is just an example, among countless examples, of the power of managing and generating HTML with an xCard. The web-savvyness of the xCards (with an XCMD in HC/SC) pays off here because it means that the generated web-pages can automatically be sent (via FTP, HTTP) to the remote the server that hosts your web site (e.g. if and when you are not your own web server). So, as you can see, it's not necessarily a matter of completely replacing HTML with an xCard. And no hard choices to make, either, because you can have BOTH at the same time. :)) I am really enjoying this thread, Alain Farmer __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
