OK, I'm back 
Sorry for the delay in replying I had a power-cut straight after sending you the email 
You have shown a good grasp of the basis but that book makes me shudder at the thought of it as it is so out of date
I suggest you take a look at
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp
&
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
For some slightly more up to date advice on learning web design.
I've sent you an email containing a quick rework of your front page so that it uses the principles demonstrated in the above tutorials.
___
Also I suggest you get very friendly with the following two web pages
http://validator.w3.org/
&
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
You will find them of enormous help.

 ing typos
"You have shown a good grasp of the basis"

I think I'll save that thread for late-night-nothing-else-left-to-read reading
So I should stop reading the book and tell Tom not to bother either? I'm not getting the more complicated stuff anyway. Heck, I didn't get how to do the links to the other pages on the server until I viewed the source at another site I think the main reason I got as far as I have is that I'm used to putting tags around things--just need to learn the right tags

As to your book, its like learning about car mechanics on a Ford Model T - you will learn the basic principles but if you the go and get a nice modern car you will be when the electric ignition stops working.
I'd say try using it conjunction with the previous links, but in the end do as you feel best.
As for looking another site to see how links are done - we have all used the view-source button in moments of desperation
This next bit goes against the geek/nerd grain but Kompozer is a free WYSIWYG web authoring system that my niece likes and can be found at http://www.kompozer.net/

Since it's a library book anyway, getting rid of it's no big deal Like I said, I've gleaned what I can get out of it anyway. And I already went through and looked at all the cartoons that Dummies books have
I think you know by now that I'm not a even if I am tech support (and now webmistress) for the household And I'm sure that, even if I did worry about -cred, getting half the amount of sleep I need a night on average would be mitigating circumstances I assume Kompozer works with Linux? I went for the Linux server (tech support guy at GoDaddy said that the only real reason to use the Windows server is if you already had a site built with FrontPage)

Kompozer runs on your PC and produces web pages that should work with any web-server (regardless of operating system)

Tom liked the rework, and I definitely think I'll cheat and use a wysiwyg program, at least for now. *goes to download*
