If this site seems crudely built by an amateur ...... that's because it is!

    Building a family web site is not only something that I have wanted to do for some time, but has become part of an on-going learning experience with computers. In an attempt to learn HTML, I have opted to not use the free site building software provided by our web host. Instead, I'm using a web editor, called Bluefish, that comes in the Debian Linux operating system that I use on my computer.
   With the help of a couple of how-to books purchased on eBay, I've approached this in the way that I have found to work best when trying to learn something ....... jump in with both feet and go at it. Please forgive my mistakes, I hope to get better as I explore the more advanced forms of HTML.
