    3. Eliz; Did you know that you can get a home page from AOL and don't even have to subscribe? That would be a good place for you to put the Bible info. And if you send me the link, I will add it to the LINK page. Only one thing.................once you start adding text, you have to type all the info in maunally. You can't use the copy and paste. I use hometown AOL for all my Wash. Co. sites, because it's FAST and sooooooo EASY to do. You don't even have to know how to put it in HTML format. Check out: http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.pspsiteId=hometownUS&authLev=1 &mcState=initialized&triedAimAuth=y This should bring you to a Sign-in page. At the bottom you'll find this: Don't have a Screen Name? Get One Free! Click on that and it will walk you through the rest. One word of advice....Do your site with a BLANK PAGE. That way, you can put anything you want on it. Hope this helps......you sure do have some valuable info that I'm sure could be a use to someone.
