Hello again - I am the original poster



Carrie, You don=B9t sound very sorry ...

For reference, I am a photo retoucher, freelance, hence that is why I joine=
d
the site.

Because I work in photography, I have created some portfolio sites in flash
for the people I work for, with reasonable success in that specific niche -
however webdesign as a whole up to now makes up only a small percentage of
my income, so investing a huge amount of time reading books for what could
turn out to be a limited return, did not make much sense. Although I do
periodically do a bit of research online when I am not busy.

I have bought lots of books - frankly I get to page 20 and give up because
they are impossible to follow, if you are starting from scratch - stuff lik=
e
lynda.com gives you a founding so at least you can understand what the book=
s
mean, but hey maybe I am ignorant and just don=B9t understand the written wor=
d

I looked into the PHP Includes - and I think it is a reasonable question -
google does not spider the css which you use to format your pages (or maybe
it does) - and I thought that was the reason for using css, so that the inf=
o
on your page was just the most relevant text and links, and I wondered if
the same applied.

And now I know it doesn=B9t

Thank you, and I apologise for my 'ignorance'
