Hi all, I just signed on here.<br />
<br />
I'm just a FrontPage 2003 user who knows little about hard coding.<br />
<br />
I received an email from a gent who says I have coding errors on one of my sites, and wants to discuss it over the phone, which sounds to me like he wants to sell me something.<br />
<br />
If there are any gurus of HTML out there I would greatly appreciate a code check of this site: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.coyotejakes.com">www.coyotejakes.com</a><!-- w --><br />
<br />
PS Turn down the volume on your speakers, the Coyote Howl was not my idea!<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />
<br />
