madison: MY alamode HOME PAGE BLUES - can you make major changes? - 04/11/07 09:04 PM
Hi ALAMODE Rainers
I really don't like the restrictions on my alamode home page.  Too much information.  I need to change it to a simpler page where the options are presented as hyper-linked (to sub-pages) banners that can get the visitors to where they want to go - FAST.

madison: Let's Teach the FSBO Guys Everything We Know - 03/31/07 02:12 PM
