Hi Galen & all
I am not an experienced web designer. here is what I can tell you.
I purchased my Domain (by Godaddy.com) & am having the hosting done by them
using the website tonight software they offer with templates and a few
extras. Since I have no html or any other experience, this is working good
for me. so far. At tech support with godaddy, they said that I can UPLOAD
any one. ok! I will guess that once I upload it, I will have to figure out
what to do with it and how to place it on my website. so, with that in mind,
any suggestions as well as what you already suggested are kindly
appreciated. especially as you mentioned the log thing. thanks

Thanks so very much for your help-! ! ! !
