The way I am setting up my site, I have a title page; then the user goes to
the main page. I would like to put a countdown on my index page (about 5
seconds, or so) that, when it reaches 0, automatically hyperlinks to a new
page, rather than having to click "enter here". Thoughts?

You can use a <meta> refresh to move you to another page, but it will not
give you a countdown on it.

You can use javascript also, and you can work a display in there... see
http://javascript.internet.com/time-date/countdown-timer.html

--the 'redo' function in the above script has the name of the page that you
will be going to, right after the javascript 'alert' function. Comment out
the alert line and un-comment out the window.location to have this flow
seemlessly

Sounds good, Mike. Thanks for the comment. I'll try those, and see how they
do.
