Hi Charles,

I took the liberty of looking over some of the HTML on your site.
I write web sites and pages by hand, so I though I would offer you a
few suggestions based on my meager experience.


Download this file and look at one way tables may be done: (nested)

http://www.thevideodoc.com/CS_Hardwood.exe

(Self-Extracting EXE file - simply point it to a destination on your
drive. This is so your browser will download it instead of opening
it. The picture links should work if you upload it to your site.)

Grab the browser window and drag it wider and narrower and watch the
way the different sections adapt to changing widths. Everyone doesn't
run the same screen resolution as your layout machine, so take this
under consideration as well.

Keep in mind I didn't take time to format this stuff, but the way you
are approaching this is simply WAY too complicated and inconsistent to
work with all browsers. It's a nightmare out there...

I know you are attempting to achieve a specific layout, but
unfortunately the web is not a desktop publishing program.
Your Sitebilder generated code is filled with thousands of unneeded
font tags and non-breaking spaces and soft-spaces and DIVs and....


Thanks, Greg, but whatever it was, when I downloaded and hit the extract
button, it all disappeared.

I'm going to change some of the headers to images later today...but I'm not
sure I want to get involved with Dreamweaver, or other programs that cost
that much.

I've worked with HTML in the past, and, truthfully, I can't really deal with
the boredom. I do have...if I can recall the name...NoteTab or some such
already on my hard drive, so I'll try to look at the site with that later
on. It may be possible to clean it up that way.

It does seem as if each and every fast and easy web site program either
costs a small fortune or adds a lot of debris.
