    Yeah, Isabella, I thought I'd catch some flak for that, but I tried
    to stress that a professional site - that is, one that's beyond most
    of us metalsmiths' capabilities, will require much more. The
    original post (by Kim) said that she was having troubles getting a
    template-based web server figured out. For someone like that to get
    into a PHP or ASP driven dynamic site is probably similar to
    becoming and astronaut. And, as you say, that's when you call the
    pros. I understand how a dynamic site works, and how to set it up,
    but I'D probably not undertake that myself - it's just too tricky to
    get good results. No, what you say is true, but I also stand by what
    I said - someone who wants to put a up a good site even with a
    shopping cart by themselves on the cheap doesn't need to write code,
    these days - that's just to give the newbies in web design some
    hope, really. Then again, yes, building a sophisticated site with
    dynamic content and other bells and whistles is going to require at
    least some knowlege - maybe a lot - of HTML, Perl scripting and ASP
    and more. Really my point is that someone wanting to put up a site
    can do that in a week, without writing a line of HTML, and evolve
    into more as they learn more and more the deeper things. That it's
    not like the old days when it was REQUIRED to know it all before
    even starting out.
