    Why don't you just tell him, Hey, you know I am in IT, right?

    You know I am going to find out......is there anything I should know about your past?

    .......and see how that works out.......

    If he doesn't call you again, you probably are better off.

      This topic is so boring, I'm not even going to tell you what it's about. John Oliver's epically informative and hilarious analysis will have to do the talking. It's REEAALLY important. Please watch. You'll laugh and learn why the boring is actually quite imperative to us. I'm begging you to stick around to at least 4:02, as it's really important to understanding how they could really make things worse.

          "Preventing cable company fuckery" Very good.

          That guy is quite good......, reminds me of 80s/90s Ben Elton.

                Mark, did you ever get your website rebuild under way? Wondering what you thought about Wordpress as your platform...

                I've been working with it a lot lately helping out a friend, so if you have any questions I can probably help you out.

                    Yes I have.

                    I had a bit of a pause because my new laptop had to go back to have a mechanical problem fixed.

                    #3 Son set up the site (which I did three times before he did but got frustrated because I could not figure out how to get the results I was looking for).

                    With the help of a few tutorials, I am at the foundation stage and getting ready to build the castle.

                    If I run into a problem that Technodude (#3 son) can not solve, I will send out a help line.

                    .....so far I love it when I can figure out how to do what I want.

                      Whenever you come across something you want to do, check for plugins. There's a ton of them.

                          :::Absolute rookie alert:::

                          I would like to work on a layout for a business web site. Is there anywhere that I can get one started, take my time, build, add, edit, design, change, and generally mess around for free until it is time to "turn it on"?
                          Where are we going; and what's up with this hand basket?

                                Trick, the best thing to do in that developmental stage is to run it on your own PC using XAMPP.

                                It creates your own web server on your PC, complete with Apache and a MYSQL database. You do all of your work on /localhost/myappname.html and when it's ready you can load it up to a paid hosting service.

                                Lots of advantages to doing it this way - you have more control over the server's settings, for example, you can set your error checking higher to help debug your code.

                                You'll get to test your app in a web browser as you build.

                                It's how I'm doing all of my development.
