Howdy from Southern Illinois, right next to St. Louis. I'm 34, just got laid off, corporate merger finally got me. I've known html for several years and I know Flash basics. I've designed a few personal sites for fun; never put them on the web, but now I'm thinking about trying to make a living, or at least a side job out of this since sitting in a cubicle all day can sometimes ######. I have a lot to learn. I am going to attempt javascript, etc at some point, but my previous experiences with Java, QB/VB were a struggle because I'm not naturally good at math. I can do it; just need a bit more study. I'm originally from North Dakota, descended from Scottish Highlanders (thankfully my branch gave up kilts many years ago), and I road race motorcycles. Ciao.
