For those of you who may use this website, I want to let you know I plan 
to keep it up for a long time. When the time comes for me to walk away 
from it, I'll look for someone else to take it over. I've been having 
ISP problems lately and noticed yesterday that it wasn't even being 
resolved. Don't worry, it's completely backed up locally. It works now 
but index.html needs to be specified in the URL. The default is broken 
but is being repaired. At least the site is current but I don't have ftp 
access yet to make updates.

On another note, the website design is lots of static HTML code. With 
growth it has become a bit time consuming to apply updates. Although I 
am quite comfortable in generating HTML code (no WYSISWYG here), I 
thought it would be a fun learning effort to enter all of the data into 
an Access database. I'm just not sure what next to do with it. I have 
the programming skills to create an app to read the database and create 
the HTML files necessary but I suspect I'm missing something with that 
approach. I would still end up with static HTML. BTW I don't enjoy using 
CSS. Any thoughts or suggestions?
