Look on this page to find the latest news I've found about flying, experimental aircraft, Lancair, DeltaHawk and any other information I find interesting (it is my website after all).

news 09/04/2004--Well, I did it again. Went thru another major revamp to clean things up. Didn't like the old navigation system; different ways of navigating on different pages seemed too confusing. Got rid of some graphics to "keep it simple." I think this is the last time I'll make major changes to the way it looks. Yeah, right...

news 08/13/2004--I hope this isn't a hint of things to come. I wasn't satisfied with the way the site looked the 1st time around, so I "rewired it." I dumped many of the built-in functions available thru FrontPage themes; I think they take a lot of space. I only have 5 megabytes to use on my server's storage so I'll have to be frugal. I made all my own graphics for this site using Microsoft's Composer. Nice program to make quick and dirty web graphics.

news 08/10/2004--I've been learning a great deal about building a website. I've used Microsoft's FrontPage to build this site exclusively and I've found the software to be fairly easy to use. The only drawback I've found so far is that FrontPage requires "extensions" to be loaded on the web server where the site resides. If your server is Unix-based you won't get all the functionality of FrontPage, like ready-made search forms and web counters. There are ways around that though... I found that you can get a search form added to your site through Google for free. They post the html code you need right here. My next project is to find a free web counter. I'd like to find one that doesn't require an advertisement, but that doesn't look hopeful unless I buy the code from someone. The last hurdle is space. Unfortunately, my ISP only provides me with 5 megabytes of space for the site so I'll likely have to pony up some jack when I start to add all the pics. Oh well, it's only money! If you'd like to discuss website development, feel free to email me. Update -- I've found a nice counter that costs nothing unless I get more than 5000 visitors in a month. I should be golden, unless you guys just really like reading the same stuff over and over...
