I Finally Did It

Yes I did. I finally contacted Joni about doing something to change my site. I hope she survives me. I went whoa! had a little trouble answering those questions.

I'm sure she will be shaking her head when she reads the answer for: Do you use php or HTML? My intelligent answer to this question: Huh? I wanted to answer a Dell...but knew that was probably not what she was looking for.

I suppose the answer to the question :What platform do I use?" was not "a soapbox" either. I had to think about it awhile, I hope the correct answer was Windows XP?

God, I hope she don't dump me. I know if I was her I'd be reading my letter thinking "this woman is too stupid for words."

Isn't it scarey that people like me can even have a blog?

Hmmm, maybe that out to be, can you imagine that I am blogging on anything but Blogger? ;) I am in about the same shape as you, actually, and I kindly refer to myself as a geek/0™

Self proclaimed "too stupid for words" is much easier for support people than insufferable know-it-alls like myself. I know this from being on both ends of it.

I can tell you the answer to the first question, but the second question requires a little more clarification.

Basically, your web pages can be done in HyperText Markup Language (HTML) or can be done in a scripting language, such as PHP, that gets dynamically reprocessed as a request is made for a given web page. The easiest way to tell is to look at the file extensions on your files. If they end in .htm or .html then you are probably using HTML; if they end in .php, you are using PHP. Personally, at this stage, I'd suggest sticking with HTML for a while. PHP is cool and all, but it adds a layer of complexity.

The second question-- I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that she means what is the operating system on your web server. It could be Unix, Linux, or Windows IIS. But I'd suggest making sure that is what she is asking.
