I don't see the three cols, either. Just the superscript 1. Other than that, the apostrophes look fine.

I can see a few things in the source that could be switched to CSS to make your life/updating easier.

If you'd like, once you've got it written up and looking the way you like, you can e me the files (momhlet at gmail), and I can clean them up for you. Wouldn't take more than a jiffy, and your content is so much more interesting than the content I do that with for a living.

On a separate issue, I hate going into IE because it reminds me, despite how much I prefer Firefox in other respects, how much faster IE is than Firefox. Is this normal, or is there something I can adjust to get FF up to speed?

Brenda, what platform are you on? I've always found FF to be far faster, but I do have to close it from time to time for optimal performance in OSX, which I don't remember having to do on XP. (The Mac version is a lot buggier, in my experience, than the Windows one. Which annoys me, as I'm not using my XP box much at the moment, and do all my browsing on Fredlet.)

oh! thanks, Plei! It'll take me awhile, I'm really very slow-going on this stuff.

XP home. Closing it from time to time hasn't seemed to affect it.

Brenda, because IE has its nasty tentacles embedded in the operating system, the program launches faster (and convinces people that it's faster), but once it's launched, it's slower. Opera is faster than either, on Windows. Other geekery here: [link]

Nuh-uh. It's actually faster loading pages, etc. I may try out Opera at some point, though.

Allyson -- You've got a bunch of t table tags without any corresponding t /table tags (I count seven). It's almost as though you're using the t table tags as paragraph breaks. Get rid of all of them! That would probably cause some browsers to create columns where you don't want them.

Thanks so much, Jon!

I don't know what most tags do, at all. Got rid of 'em.

Now I gotta make the text not stretch to the edges. And add my email addie and make sure the title goes back to the front page.

And then I'm going to go throw up.

It's sort of sad that I've never gotten any better at this, given that coding up a simple page is the sort of knowledge people o' my generation tend to see as simple as dialing a phone.

The best way to learn coding is to steal the code of pages you like. I stole most of my code from Maayan, who's a very clean designer. I'm not in any way good, but I've learned a bit.
