oops...that FTP client should be WS_FTP LE.

Also, as far as the marquee, I've used it in the past just for fun, mostly to send special messages to a favorite uncle who reads my pages. I assumed that even if people didn't have IE, they could see the words. I wonder if the words in the marquee (because mine was at the top of a page)help in search engine listings? My listing seemed to jump up in the rankings considerably when I used certain words...may have just been coincidence or timing though. That reminds me Catrin, if you're doing marketing you may want to use a page counter (you can get invisible ones) and pay attention to your meta tags. I'd also suggest that you don't put your page on the web until you get the meta tags like you want them. It seems that some search engines don't update very often and your page could be listed incorrectly for months.

Which also reminds me of a very bad experience I had. An unscrupulous company left my resume posted for nearly a year after I repeatedly requested that it be removed. So once something gets "out there" it's hard to ever remove it.
