Thanks for the response, despite my unintentional post. I'm so glad I did post here since the blog really needs to be accessible and fluid. I'm even more scared than I was before I 'knew' anything! PHP and MySQL I figured I'd have to deal with, but LAMP and such?? Yikes. I shall carve out a chunk of time and play with Wordpress.

I'm hoping the new version is better but haven't tried it yet. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
