First, thank you so much for the link, I will follow it.
As far as why I do it, I am not trying to save or anything like that. I just want to learn how it is all done, so that I can sound more intelligent <g> when talking to my customers. That's why I registered an inexpensive domain name, for practice.
Thank you for your help.
