Hi cousins, I have several things to report, however to look at it superficially, it looks like nothing has been done. That isn't true though; quite a bit has actually been accomplished. ** We still can't get into our domain by using howellresearch.com/net/org. I checked the whois directory to see if it's even registered yet; nope, not there. If we aren't able to use howellresearch to get in by tomorrow, I'll give our hosts a call and see what's up. This could very well be a result of the 'holiday-drag'. ** I have the files from GeoCities online at the domain, however they're hidden. I needed time to remove the GeoCities banners and pop-up coding that was required before I put the pages online. GOT THEM **GONE!** :) I just hope I got everything. ** I've been working on storing the Christmas gifts, getting them ready to put online in the day-to-day format. Of 35 files, I have 12 left to do, then must set those new files into the directory pages. I'm gittin' thar! :) On top of it all, for the past three days (or is it four now???) I've been nursing the sore throat from Hell. I KNOW that's where it came from because it sure wasn't something sent from Heaven! So, I have to admit to some slack time. My energy levels are uhm... cruddy, you might say. We owe many thanks to cousin Candi Beard Nation for volunteering to assist me in doing the link and banner/pop-up code removal checks. This is an extremely important step to ensure that once we open, that we'll come back online looking sparkly and clean for our surfing public. I appreciate you, Candi! :) Immediately following are coming back online, I'll be doing an extensive publicity campaign for us to let everyone know where we are. It's at this point I'll need all of you to help me ~ yes, even you newbies can help, too. I'll tell you more as time goes along. And last, and soon to be least (yippee!) ... I'm still receiving notices from GeoCities that we've been shut down hours (single hours, that is) at a time again. *sigh* This is certainly something I WON'T miss! I don't believe any of you will, either. Slow that it is, just know that I AM working at this end as hard as I can to get us moved. At this point, I see this happening by the end of the week ~ maybe sooner. I hope you've all been having a MAGNIFICENT Monday! :) Colleen
