[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 6900506, member: 19463"]I have had the opposite problem with most. In 1997 I had the desire to learn to code HTML. At the time, there was very little online relating to ancient coins. I decided to start a site on coins. For the next 6 years, I updated, added pages almost every Friday. After that, I tapered off until I lost the ability to log on to the space hosting my site. I have looked at other hosting options but most seem to require the use of their canned software. I stopped learning 'new' HTML tricks and never warmed up to Javascript for what I was doing. Now I often wish I had never started but some people say they got some good from those amateur pages. Now there is no need for mine since professionals are posting things beyond my ability. Many of my pages are the way they are because I wanted to 'show off' a new (to me) HTML trick I had learned. For example, my index page photo was mapped to allow clicking on a coin and being taken to the page on that coin. Anyone who wishes to copy my code and change the called addresses and change the images is perfectly free to do so. That photo has been copied by over a hundred sites - most without asking. I do not know if anyone copied the code. I had fun doing it and that is the only reason I did it.
