I don't really have a website, but I have free server webspace that came
with my e-mail account. I just upload to the server using a cute little
program called "Fetch". <G> I also use that space to store all of my
ebay pictures for sales! Saves me a lot of money, and ebay hosting sux.

It's actually an "index site" as opposed to a true website.

I'm betting you have webspace with your e-mail account as well. The trick
is learning how to utilize it! <lol> I had a mac geek computer friend
help me learn to use mine.

<lol> Most herbs are "weeds" and are remarkably tough! Mine are all in
the ground and are currently benefitting from a ton of rain!
