Building Website Unravels Eugene Man's Sanity

There are few times in my life where I have wanted to physically harm my computer and since its a laptop, I imagine it would make for a nice, hi tech frisbee. I realize that acting on this will only slow my progress further and if I'm honest with myself, I would say that its not the computer at all, its my lack of understanding html. The computer is simply the messenger delivering the bad news. My website is built and done, the only thing stopping me from publishing it successfully is a mere 5 links. Thats it. 5 little clicky clicks of the stupid mouse and I'm on my way. Nearly 6 months of work building this to be a "simple" website and it all comes down to linking pages together. so when you click on the button, your magically transported to another page through the ether or cyber space, or where ever the heck you go for that brief time in between clicks. I will beat this thing. I have other ideas to whip it into shape.
However, if there is anyone reading this that has any advice to send my way, I would gladly write something nice about you in my next post.
Maybe even link your site to my blog. Huh? how bout it? enticing isn't it?
I think my wife and kid would also appreciate your advice. I'm getting the sneaking suspision that they are utterly sick of my bitching and psychotic rumblings about html tag this and html tag that.
Dylan flat out says, "Dad all you do is worry about this website, your focusing too much on it". Of course he's said that from the first day I started working on it when it interferred with playing catch or something. They're right though, I'm ready to move on to other projects as well.

Sorry your having such a hard time with this HTML thing. We already know men hate to ask for direction, or help, they will drive forever before stopping to ask where to go. The answer you are looking for is at ASK: Jeeves. Go there and ask him what is html and you will find an answer and it's just like going to school all over. Love u Aunt Linda
