Hi To all of you,Im just posting this,as i am new and need alot of help setting up my site.I am a single dad of a 4 year old little boy and im injured beyond repair at this point in my life.I cant work,I broke both of my legs racing moto-x in july 2002,4 rods were put thru my left leg and the doctor hit a nerve and never did anything to correct this problem,I had screws in the right ankel(that backed out in less then 4 months)To make this short and not bore anyone,Im living on bad pain killers(oxycontin) or without them i cant walk,Im about to lose my home,so i ordered a kit(wholesale products)from smc...They want $2500.00 to build me a website,so thats out of the question.I have the first page made,all except the enter button,I did that in photoshop,and then brought it into frontpage,I cant seem to get the enter button on my first page,I have only been using frontpage for a few days,I need to get my enter button on the page and try to finnish the site,as this is my only way to bring in some money at this point,I will look around in here as i dont want to post an old topic.......
Anyway,Hi to all of you and any help in the future,I would like to say THANKS now

Hi there,

I'm shocked bij your story, don't know what else to say about it.

I shall try to help as much as i can.


About the websites:

The enter-button:
What exactly do you mean?
Like, a button to enter your site:

index.html:
in <body> section:
<a href="home.html" target="_self">
<img src="enter_image.jpg alt="click here to enter" border="0">
</a>



Name of image: enter_image.jpg
name of site with homepage: home.html



Bye,
Pascal

Thank You,Pascal.....Thats a brief history,thats not the half of it!!!
The worst part is my son is stuck in the house just because i had to show him how good i was,I was the New England champion riding for honda on 500s back in 1982,and that was my first race back in 10 years and i was leading when somtheng broke in my rear shock,that i had just paid $600.00 to have redone for my weight.I didnt have 15 minutes on the bike when the acciedent happened,I never fell or anything,I just landed and had no rear suspension,and i heard both legs just snap like twigs,and to have 40 guys still trying to race you ,in that condition is a bit scarry.Its amazing how one day can change your whole life,It did,Its done and they want to take my left leg from the knee down,and theres an 85 percent chance ill still have the same exact pain i have now,so i wont let them take it.....I really feel bad for my son,being a single parent is tough enough,but this is a complete nightmare.Ill tell ya one thing,it has made me a very humble person.And yes,Im talking about the enter button to get to my 2nd page.I down loaded some buttons and when i try to use them,they dont show up on the page
Thanks Again
Your Friend,Norman

To sell your products online you will need SSL and a shopping cart (made in php or asp or cgi). To add an image to your site:
<A HREF="PAGE.html"><IMG SRC="imagename.jpg" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" ALT="Enter" BORDER="0"></A>

If you need help finding a free shopping cart just ask.

Major apology here, Pascal - I meant to quote your message but the edit and quote buttons are close together and I hit the edit button by mistake. Since I am a moderator, I can edit other people's posts (as you already know). Unfortunately, I deleted all but the part I wanted to quote namely:Originally posted by Pascal
About me: i'm 15, February 29 I turn 16. I live in The Netherlands. and then I provided the comment:
Actually Pascal, with a birthday on February 29th, wouldn't you just be turning 4? ;)

So I'm very sorry - the rest of your message got lost and there is no way to retrieve it. :(
