[TheForge] new website

Ralph;

MS Front page is a good program but you can use any number of simple WYSIWYG
type web creation programs. Frontpage has all sorts of bells and whistles
that you may not need. But having said that, if Dave is going to give you a
hand, I'd take him up on it.
He's gotten pretty good with it over the last year or so.

If you have any questions in general about a selling site, please feel free
to ask. My site has been up for about 5 years and I've been pretty fortunate
with it.
There are very definite differences between a "let me show you what I made
site" and a "Buy what I made site"
