Thanks for the encouragement!

This is kind of funny - I've been on forums relating to various interests and hobbies (so I'm kind of used to the Faceless - and sometimes unfriendly - World) and I have used tags to italicize words and so on, without realizing they were HTML tags!

I've only gotten to the fourth HTML tutorial, but so far they're very clear, easy to follow, and highly useful.

We will help you figure it out, if you promise to stick with it, AND, not get annoyed with "our" (The Web Conglomerate) bland tones.
I promise! I can use all the help I can get, and I'm definitely not going to give up - advice will be gratefully received and not wasted. And hopefully there are other newbies who'll read all this and benefit from it as much I am!
