Thanks, **obfus** , I appreciate it. I’ll be working on this tonight when I get home. If anyone else has any ideas, don’t hesitate to e-mail/IM me, or post it here or whatever. I’m not very good at this kinda stuff, so any input is appreciated. ---

Minneapolis, Minnesota checking in. I know there’s a few of us out there who have yet to chime in. Just so you know, we’re a eensy bit west of St. Paul. Give us a seperate line if you could… we don’t like to associate ourselves with that St. Paul crowd- their kinda different, if ya know what I mean. Only kidding. Pretty cool idea. ---

Hey **Democritus** , I have some suggestions. Get a copy of _SAMS Teach Yourself HTML in 24 Hours_, it’s very easy to read and understand. Try using an unaltered map as the background, then placing a red dot or something in each location in the foreground. One dot should suffice for a metropolitan area, like the Bay Area for example. You could either set up a link for each dot, or you could set it so that when the pointer is on a dot, the pop-up text has the names of everyone who lives at that dot.

East Jordan, Michigan. It’s in the northwestern tip of the Lower Peninsula. I’m interested to learn who is the remotest Doper from other Dopers. I’m thinking I’ve got to be in the running (about 175 miles from Persephone, the next-closest Doper I am aware of). ---

Newberg, Oregon, about 20 mi. SW of Portland. [Hijack:] Hi, **Tie-Dye.** We’re thinking about a Portland area get together. You interested? Hey **Hometownboy,** no response from anybody else yet. [/Hijack] **Demo,** Great idea. Another good book is _HTML for the World Wide Web_ by Elizabeth Castro. I’d be glad help you, but I’ve forgotten most of it. (My problem, not the book’s.) ---
