Hey Chris it's Leslie I got my own profile now.
I am very excited. I just taught myself how to do the HTML table for the runs page. Really it was easy. Well got to get back to working on it so I can get it posted. Thank you so much for the help!!...
You know, I was just talking to my husband about this. And I wanted to put a post like this. Just not so in-depth.
Where is the "brotherhood"? It seams to me that it is only there when someone dies. At least that's been my experience. My husband h...

- Oh, don't think that it wouldn't work in a small town. We only have 1,600 people in our city limits and I'm certain we could get people to sponsor us.
The system I'm planning would come with anywhere from 4-12 potential spots that rotate throughout the entire site. But with a static site like yours, you could put them right on the home page. And if a business can't afford $50 a year for advertising, well, maybe they shouldn't be in business.

- Leslie,
I know you've worked really hard on your site and trust me, I've been in that position of learning this stuff on my own.
What if the template system I'm considering offered a "sponsorship" sidebar where local businesses could sponsor your site to offset some and possibly even become a fundraiser for your department?

Tables are looking good! Not too terribly difficult eh? The CSS is actually pretty easy once you get a couple of columns/rows going.
Ok, being the anal retentive designer I am, the music on the pages - I would make sure that your users can turn it on if they want it and not make it automatic. I think that's in the top 5 things that turn people "off" to websites from the studies I've read. Just F.Y.I.
Keep it up, you're getting there!

Of course I always drive safely and utilize Due Regard. That's why I didn't just hop in front of the cars hoping that they would stop for me. It just irks me that people are either A.) THAT oblivious when operating a motor vehicle, or B.) That unc...
The incident hindered my response by a minute or so which could make all of the difference. In this instance - no, I still made the rig (it was an EMS call). However, the "What If" factor plays a key role - the other drivers passing me didn't know...
This is true. It's personally happened to me, I've heard horror stories about it, and someone I work with has even stated that she purposely does this as well. However, if it were her house on fire, or her husband and/or children that needed help,...
