Haven't tried Pages.

I think the award for best HTML export goes to OpenOffice.

FrontPage works for 95% of internet users 100% of the time. There doesn't exist another application that requires so little knowledge for such widespread acceptance.

I don't care if there's a stigma attached to using FrontPage. The only other alternative is to learn HTML - and even that's no guarantee it'll look good in 95% of internet user's browsers.

Besides, all web designers have a holier-than-thou attitude about newbie web designer's efforts. That doesn't change the fact that most web designers are dead broke (AND under 20 years of age).

BULLTITS!

I have found that as I am learning xhtml and css that experienced developers are the most generous and sharing people on the net (the reason I got interested in learning). They share so many resources for free and if you have any problem they fix things for you quick time. Go to css.play.co.uk .... that guy is 59 years old and a real genius. His work is amazing and he shares it with everyone. He is not the only one. I can't wait until I'm knowledgable enough to learn java and Ruby On Rails.

It also requires a Windows server, with FrontPage extensions installed, people where talking about using mod_rewrite on an Apache server. Is the site even hosted on an Windows server?

Yep. Doesn't exactly qualify for clean stand-alone HTML...

Thank you so much. I am VERY happy with his design. Such a professional guy. He gave me lots of ideas and options. He did an amazing job and in only a few days.

Ok, now that I've got the logo, I still need to add a gallery to my Joomla site.

Does anyone know how to set up a flash slideshow from couloir.org? Click on "About this Slideshow" and you can download the source file. Everything is there, but I don't know how to set it up in Joomla.

That's such a cool find Iceman. The only thing Flash in that is the sound fx. The rest is a scriptlicious java script.

Look at the index html file between the <body> and </body> tags. That's the css id tags and javascript you have to put in your site. Find a location and it has to go there. If you don't know how to then ask our friend if he has time or the other best option the Web Developer forum.

Thanks Super Mario. Yeah, someone else told me that it's actually not flash. I'm still learning.
