Site Design

HTML: The site was first programed using MacroMedia Backstage Designer & Home Site. Editing & recent changes have been down by hand. Thanks to Brian Durfee for site evaluation & help with html code.

Graphics: The divider is from Internet Wizzard. Can't remember where I found the Little New gif. All logos on the links pages are from the respective sites. The one exception is the logo used for Hardin-Simmons University. I modified a scanned copy of the offical HSU seal using Photo Darkroom by Seattle Filmworks. You're probably wondering why I have a copy of the H-SU seal lying around. Well actually I have several copies on things like my diploma, ring, shirts, & other things.
