It is a<br>> work in progress. I suggest that anyone who wishes to criticize a<br>webmaster,<br>> you should ask what you can do to help first. If there is anything I can<br>do<br>> to help, let me know.

Both had the same frame and engine<br>> options, just a little different on the outside appearance.<br><br>That's how it looks to me. There are some real differences<br>under the chrome, too.<br><br>We can mess with the site template. Not me today. We can<br>install the Template Changer Module and hook it to a<br>menu item in the Webteam area. It lets you see how our<br>site content looks in different templates.<br><br>
