HTML with Css

After fiddling with my web site the last few days, I noticed that all my links were being misdirected…. oh no! I use a”pretty good” program that I bought at Staples to create web pages, but it can’t seem to get “Dynamic HTML” right, so I have resorted to creating “HTML with CSS”. This is about as basic as it gets. Unfortunately by default all the links end up being underlined. My “work-around” (and there always seems to be a need for one in the world of software) is to go ahead and create the web pages using my editor, and then adding this code in the main body:

<STYLE>
<!–
A {text-decoration:none}
–>
</STYLE>

It produces links without underlines. Yahoo!

Wireless internet access

Just updated one of my laptop computers for WiFi in the LA area. Security is number one. It was important to use the Linksys install disk and if there were problems, to repeat the process using the disk. To access router settings, enter http:\\192.168.1.1 in any web browser’s address bar. Selected WEP 128 bit encryption which isnt the best, but I’m not doing multi-million banking transactions! A good technical web site related to WiFi is at http://lifehacker.com/software/wifi/index.php
