Is this Mozilla 1.5 or Firefox 1.5? I thought Mozilla was up to 1.8.

Yes, of course, Bud. Silly me.

Hey loved reading your intro to yourself. I happened to be using Google’s new blog search. I put in XHTML and CSS stylesheets because I’m doing an online course on these trying to squash it in between being a secondary school English teacher in Christchurch New Zealand. I gave up Maths (well the school gave me up) in my second year in high school so I struggle with any kind of maths type logic programming languages. Also my age is the wrong side of 50 so I’ve come to the computer world at a later age but I’m proud of what I’ve managed to do on my own. However, it’s good to be able to go on the web and get the extra help I might need.
keep blogging.
