Hi Louis. Simple static webpages -- basically extended brochures. These are the sites that I'm currently responsible for: www.wescottdesign.com www.atomiczombieworkshop.com www.funflyers.org (Note that most of the public content of the funflyers site is mine, but I inherited it from a guy who authored it on some Microsoft product, and haven't converted it entirely). _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
