I just love the work I have to do in HTML.

Another lie from the deadbeat.

Look, Harry thinks he knows something!


He should let us know when he can sit down at a text editor and come out
with a fully functional webpage like my lady does...

------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why anyone would be creating a webpage in HTML anymore.


What language would you use to carry the engines and display the site???

===================================

I was referring to generating a website using HTML code directly and
exclusively, without benefit of canned website creation software.
I use canned software now but occasionally modify the resultant code for
specific purposes or reasons. The last full website I did was for the
guitar shop. It was a hack job done using Yahoo's "Sitebuilder". At
one point I started redoing it in a much nicer (I thought) format using
another program with a lot of fancy features but the customers
complained. They liked the simplicity of the original design and it's
ease of use. So, I've left it alone.



That's great until you go beyond a "billboard" site.. Our sites are more
functional, and generally private, meant for ebusiness or parsing and
passing sensitive information... You are not going to do it with any
canned software, or template site...

I use the "coder" panels in Dreamweaver, I look at code. I use the
"preview" to see the CSS styles and layout as I can't see them in my
head yet looking at the code...

Last night I wrote a php script to send info from the site to several
sources including a database for further use... It collects information
from several areas of the site, parses it, and creates a form for the
participant to fill out dynamically:) Again, not something you are
gonna' find in a canned site:) But whatever...

-----------------------------------------

Sounds good, whatever it is that you said. You are talking to a
programming dunce here. As long as I can add text, images, videos and
music files, I really don't need anything else. The goofy website
averages about 12,000 hits per month.




It's like dog training... Folks say, "gee, I wish my dogs were trained
like yours".. and I say "why, your dog doesn't need to be trained like
that in his world"... As to being a programming dunce, I only do what I
do, and really don't pay much attention to the rest. We all can't be
internet usenet heroes like our friend in Maryland...n

here have always ignored that behavior from their side of the isle... LOL!

Surely, there must be some job you have had in the last 50 years that

Too bad this newsgroup is infested with stalkers and the criminally insane intent on embarrassing, harassing and intimidating decent boaters.
I wouldn't mind showing off my new boat.

There is a lot to be said for simplicity and ease of use. I've seen
some web sites where the authors went out of their way to use every
feature they could lay hands on and the results are not very helpful.

I never posted a list of your clients. I have no idea of who your
clients might be. I have no idea of whose sites you post, christian or
not. Your claim is yet another in your series of psychotic delusions.

Here's a nibble for you. About 45 years ago, I worked for a Detroit
financial advertising and PR agency. One of my clients was Advance
Mortgage Corporation, at the time the largest FHA-VA mortgage broker in
the United States. I worked with an economist at a local university and
researched and produced two semi-annual bound volumes on U.S. housing
markets and U.S. commercial real estate markets, plus the usual
financial PR. These materials were well-liked by First National City
Bank, and the bank offered to buy the mortgage company for $29 and
change a share when the stock was selling OTC at $5 a share. Now, is
there any "documentation" on line about this? I haven't a clue. I have
no idea what happened to the mortgage company after it was purchased.

Interestingly, a few years after it bought the mortgage company,
CitiCorp was forced to divest itself of it. The family that started
Advance was long gone out of the business by then.

Another of my clients back then was Gale Research Company, publishers of
library reference books. It was a terrifically interesting client,
started and run by Frederick Gale Ruffner, a well-known "character" in
the Detroit area. In addition to his other interests, Fred had the
largest known collection of WWII Japanese war propaganda. Gale still
publishes interesting library reference volumes, but changed its
corporate name about 30 years ago. I'm sure Fred has gone to his reward,
and I have no idea who runs the company now.

Tell us about your adventures stacking crates in the food warehouse.

You might be able to monetize some of that traffic with a Google or
Amazon partnership (assuming you aren't already).

Not sure about that. I did a site a few years ago for my neighborhood
association that turned out fairly well. It was a bit of a pain to
maintain it however, and it's entirely possible that I'm not "In the
real world".

It really is too bad. There's basically only a few but it does
poison the atmosphere. Unfortunately you have a habit of aiding and
abetting one of the primary offenders. It only takes a few rotten
apples to spoil the barrel.

With regard to your boat pictures, I'd just post away and let the
chips fall where they may. tinypic.com is your friend.

Have you turned over a new leaf, Wayne, or are you again telling people
not to act here as you do.
