Hi Kathy,
I have never heard of this system before, and sounds a great way to produce websites , however have you not heard about a very popular website building software called XsitePro?
It costs around $200 but it is the best on the internet to buy, you can build very professional looking sites within XsitePros interface, and add virtually any thing graphical or otherwise to it till you have custom built a unique site tailor made to suit you and your needs, just Google it!

Great post, and a bit of a makeover on your site too?
And a response to Jacinta – Steve King and I have used a WordPress plugin for the JTFC site and it works a treat.
Enjoy the journey.

Commenting is survival of the fittest. The chance of your comments are being approved depends on the current situation of the comments field itself. If you have seen many good comments, then you have to make a good one too, to make it approved. If you see no comments at all, giving lame comments might already makes the writer happy
What do you think?
