Good morning -

- ... now that you've downloaded the HTML Editor, I'm going to help make your transition a little easier, by having you go thru each item in the W3C School of HTML ... just copy / paste their examples into a "test" file in your Editor; eventually, you'll see how things "flow"!

ok..this will take me some time to read this ...want to read it through first, that will give me an idea of what I'm doing.

Absolutely -- take your time and read each section thoroughly; be sure and set-up your "test.html" file in your Editor and copy/paste the examples ... don't be afraid to play with everything to see how things work.

In your Editor, you also have a "Viewer" on the right that looks like a movie camera ... use that to view your page as you make changes; if you haven't done so already, here's how easy it is to activate the viewer...

1. Select the "Preview" at the top.
2. Select "Instant View Mode".

It's as simple as that -- good luck!

I'll tell you Taaz it all seems so overwhelming...I'm still playing around with it..

I also noticed that Doctype I put in yesterday is gone today..I didn't remove it. Did Yahoo do that?

Yahoo doesn't have anything to do with code; it's still there -- you somehow messed the code up; just copy/paste this and you'll be fine........

thanks...I guess I messed it up, I was copying and pasting into the HTML tags..

I think I have a good idea of how this works. I have a few questions..I can't imagine building a site like I have doing this. The samples page I have
(http://www.yourphotos4ever.com/Samples.html) would take me forever. Am I missing something? I am still working around with it....need a break for a while from it. My brain is like scrambled eggs at this point. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks! (I'll be 60 soon!!!)

(put old guy, couldn't find old woman)..Thanks Taaz,I am really grateful to you!

You've done very well with the "Samples" page -- I'm re-doing your site and will post the URL tomorrow so you can see it ... hopefully, you'll be able to cut/paste the entire code into your SiteBuilder and walk away from it.

wow Taaz, thanks so much..that is so nice of you! I am still messing around with Arachnophilia, and I will get it! It is just going to take me time.

Again thank you so much for all your time and patience! PS. I will need Business cards. Will go to your site and check them out!
