Kevin,
I decided to visit your web site (as listed in your sig file) so that I
could see some of the webs you have built. I was hoping that your sites
would help me understand what it is that has you so fervently devoted to
GoLive.
Alas, your link is broken.
Can you supply us with the URLs of some of the sites you have designed and
published?
