I could get the site all sorted out in nice HTML 4.01 with CSS so she can reskin it as she wishes... all usable and accessible, with a sound information architecture.
      Would an off the shelf CMS (Joomla, Drupal, etc) do the trick? Is your sister comforable enough with with HTML/CSS to use Expression Web effectively i.e. without breaking the site and having to call you
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        The PSU fan did stutter a bit, but only managed half a turn of a case fan (nothing else connected) so I think it's safe to assume it is an "ex-PSU".

          And I know for a "spare" Win2k box to boot...

          Though it is something like a 300MHz PII

            You're in luck then

            EDIT: nevermind, you've already noticed!

              Apparently Daniel Barenboim has just finished conducting a motley crew on the Proms...

              Funny.

              They didn't sound as heavy as all that.

                Mod's!

                Can we now have this thread moved to Technical please?

                and give us back our post count, mine should be close to 20,000 by now

                  Though finding a contract somewhere else would probably be a somewhat better option.

                    This is the problem - she went to all the trouble of learning Front Page about ten years ago, but I don't know if she's willing to abandon that and move into the 21st century.

                    So building a custom CMS would be better. I've written so many damn CMSs over the years that I can build something good enough for her purposes in a couple of days max - anything more would actually be overkill. Plus I can add nifty widgets to allow her to easily create and edit things like tables of dosages of various drugs, which are a component of the site. I should be able to make it easy enough for her to get along with.

                      You can get skins for the Three modems - can't seem to find a green lizard one though.
