I finally have my site posted: www.advancedaudioinc.com and your feedback is
welcome and appreciated.

It was designed using Publisher 2003. As it was my first attempt at
anything like this, it took a little over 40hrs to complete most of it and an
additional 20hrs for fine tuning.

Photoshop was used to change the background colors for images to match the
site, create the background images, and logo, but other than that it's all
Publisher 2003.

I took advantage of inserting a few pieces of HTML to allow my manufacturers
links to open in their own windows.

-I still have not conquered the favicon but I am working on it.
-Other "elements" I would like to look into would be a calander for the
employees to view, posting PowerPoint and PDF's.
-Other sections I would like to include may be an FAQ, glossary, and
News/Events.

Overall, I am pretty happy with Publisher. I think it's a perfect fit for
people who are not web designers. It doesn't do everything you can think of,
but before Publisher 2003 I couldn't do any of the things I thought of!

David,

Sounds like a good idea. I read your site but there were no instructions on
how to plce the titles. Is it an HTML code fragment?.

Your page also brings up two additional questions - Job security for you I
suppose!

"To center your page content in the browser and maintain centering as the
browser window is resized, place the center tag inside the body tag:

<body><center>...</center></body>. "

***** Is this just placed, as it shows, directly after the opening body tag
and directly before the closing body tag? It would have to be done on each
page correct? From another thread mentioning post publish html editing, I
believe you said that each time you re-publish, this will be lost and have to
be re-inserted by editing the produced html, correct? Any way do drop an
HTML code fragment into each page? *****

Also...

"To allow your page content to fill 100 percent of the browser window width
regardless of screen resolution and resizing, set your outer most table to
width = 100 percent.

<table "width=100%"> "

***** How do I determine the outermost table? Again, this would have to be
done on every page, and since it seems that this would have to be done after
publishing, any way to drop this in as an HTML fragment? *****

Thanks

Looks good. I would recommend you go into the web options under Tools and
set your page titles (see

page file names.

Sorry - "Brain Fart" on my first question on the page name. I have it
figured out - The other two questions would still be very helpful if answered.

Publisher 2003 does not support either technique either directly or thru a
work-around.
