Hi again Matt ! Well I signed up to codecademy and I am not impressed. First, the site references fonts.googleapis.com as part of it's rendering process. The delay for that part is from 45 seconds to one minute. I tried the "Build a Professional Website" course. Occassional external references to www.google-analytics.com took up to 45 seconds to resolve.
So it is not exactly user friendly. But thank you for the effort. I think I will try more from "the code of a ninja" site. The reference provided by Florian in another reply will be helpful, although I do have a basic understanding of php and javascript. Up to this point in time my website efforts have used raw html and javascript. I am trying to upgrade my skills to the MVC framework level.
