I have been dabbling in web site creation for several years. Anything I designed was very elemental and if I needed something nice, I would have to search for a template. I enrolled in the Creating Web Pages class with Columbus State University and Ed2go and was quickly disappointed in that it taught things I already knew. But the kicker was……………I began to understand the logic behind each step. I “graduated” with a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. Since that very first class, I have completed Creating Web Pages II and am now in Introduction CSS & XHTML. I plan to continue on with more classes not only because of the learning involved but I find it great fun as well.

“so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”- Hebrews 9:28

I am not quite mid way into Intro CSS & XHTML and I can already say how challenging and FUN it has been. Please check back to see my work as I continue to learn and nurture my skills.

My sincere gratitude goes out to Alan and all my fellow classmates for the instruction, help, and encouragement.
