Thanks Benjamin- I'll take your advice.

Question for the pros out there: Is it better as a web designer to create standard HTML sites or Wordpress sites for business clients? It looks like Wordpress is gaining momentum but I am also hearing that they need regular maintenance such as when plugins need constant updating. Is this an issue for any Wordpress designers out there? Looking for feedback -Artie

Thelma- I have tried that- my browser won't open any of the php files...

Thanks for the reply. I don't see an index or html file- only CSS and php (this is a Wordpress site created in Artisteer software program. Is there any other way of viewing it?

I am just learning web design. I have made changes to the css on a site stored on my computer so I know how to view the code with my browser. Now my question is, how do I go about seeing what the new site looks like? How do I open it to see it as it would look online? Is there a different file I open up with my browser? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Artie

Thank you Thelma and virtual- both great ideas. I'll get the Firefox extension downloaded today. I wasn't aware there were free stylesheets out there to edit so I'll track those down too. Great forum with quick responses. I appreciate your help! -Artie

Hello- I am completely new to web design- I have read a few books and I'm looking to dive in now. I had read that one of the best ways to get started is to look at existing CSS to see how it looks on the page. Can I view external stylesheets or just the web sites that have internal sheets? If they can be viewed, where would I find the external style sheets? (I hope this question is not too basic for this forum- if it is, could you recommend a good forum for beginners?) Thanks for your help. Kind Regards, Artie
