I've decided to put Version 2 on hold. Reasons: Two of them can be found in the last two posts. Though I'd already started working on a template [here[1]] for Version 2, I've decided to give it away for some other project I'm working on. A coupla Accra Academy[2] old students and I have come together to create a website for all old students of the school. Since the project was moving quite too fast for me to come up with a design I'm giving this template[3] away.

I wasnt being just generous there though 'cos there are some things i dont like abt that template anyway. The layout is ok but some of the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) handles i tried to use arent supported in even Internet Xplorer 5.0. And looking at my sites stats... the mojority of people who come here use IE5.0 and I wudnt like to give them half an XPerience. So I'm gonna keep it simple ... maybe I'll even be bother to make it NOTscape compatible. Hard luck tho

Talking abt XPerience, I just tried out the Internet Information Server (IIS) in my *pirate version* of Windows XP Professional. I run some Active Server Pages (ASP) on it... and I think I'm beginning to love it. So much more reason to give away that dumb template[4]. Thanks to Spider[5] for coaxing me into trying it

Now that I can run my own test server i'll be practising more of CGI and SSI .... might take longer than I said before about a version two but i know when I finally come out of all those tutorial sessions.... U'll be having a really good XPerience on the site. Only catch though is that, I found my version of Windows ME and '98 [*both pirate*] do not have Personal Webserver....

Note to self: Pirate Software isnt always good
