AHH - of course - that is what I used on the sub pages. Yes, variable fonts
I prefer because these old eyes aren't what they used to be - especially
after lazik surgery.

Thank you I will peruse your suggested Web Typography sites as I want to
learn CSS. The uncontrolled font as clever as it is, is not very pretty.

Been trying to design within my limited ability to script but always seem
to go a little farther into the unknown with each site.

http://www.billyhalemusic.com went live a few minutes ago - but without the
Include files there is no navigation. I have contacted PAIR about costs
involved - shoot - I should have researched that. I can convert the site to
a Dreamweaver one which will help in any case.

Thank you again,
-Linda Lane
