It's better than your crappy website - why don't you do
some work on it and get it finished - not that's it's worth
the time or anything but why leave even a bad site so
incomplete?

And YOU know nothing about Homestead.com.

They had an express editor and a complicated editor
and I used the express editor for making the Novice
Lessons because they are just a text (albeit excellent
text)

It turns out the text boxes in the new Homestead
sitebuilder software could not contain so much text.
So, I stuck with the express editor until I had to make
changes and then had to start from scratch because
the express editor stuff when opened for editing always
had a pop-up window saying 'file no longer on server'.
Couldn't even edit it with the express editor because it
also seems to be no longer available.

Anyway I've got everything up and running again using
the new site editor and it all looks great and it all works
great.

The page Jon said was messed up was the old, express
editor page. It is on their server somewhere but their
server just can't locate it for downloading and editing.

It's really not as much to do with HTML but their programs
and server errors in filing.

What I just did is deleted the old express editor index2 file -
funny that it can be deleted from the server but the server
cannot find it to download, huh? Then I saved the index10
html as index2 html so now index 10 and index2 are both
the same updated file.

Identical twins. There's no counter any more so it matters not
if there is one page with two different names.

So, that makes you rather dull looking, doesn't it Billy?

And YOU know nothing about my boom except the
crap here mostly from that idiot Bobsprit. My boom
broke and then I fixed and reinforced it internally-
not the other way around. It is now stronger than
when new. It has been through far worse winds and
it's still intact.

You seem to be a backwards kind of fellow. I
can just see you eating your boogers prior to
picking them . . .

You should use either a standard editor like vi or emacs,
or use a good html editor like Dreamweaver.

I like to use Homesteads editor mostly because it has FTP
built in and is compatible in every way with what they're
doing.

I could use Adobe Pagemill but the Homestead site editor
is easier to use again has easy FTP.

express editor? complicated editor? What kind of training wheels is THAT?

Your web skills are even lower than Katy's.

Wrong again, Mr. Bill! Beating into half a gale without reefing
was the cause of the breakage. My modification resulted in
a stronger boom than before the breakage. A smart man always
strives to make sure the same failure doesn't happen twice.

Had I simply purchased another identical boom it would have
broken too. What I accomplished with a little common sense
and practical know-how gave me a boom that is the equal of
anything I could have bought for twice the price of the original
and it only cost me about twenty bucks. I'd say that's being
a winner in more ways than one.

Too bad you always lose.

It broke because of something that was done to it out of ignorance, and without
the proper skills. YOU broke the boom. Then you proceeded to compound the error
with your comical chicken rancher style repair.

Out of laziness more like. Only had about a quarter mile
of channel beating out of St. Augustine, FL then it would
have been a screaming reach going south to Miami.
