1.) Welcome, and please visit the site often. Always scroll down the entire home page to make sure you haven't missed any news or announcements.

2.) Check the menu at the upper left, and its submenus. They remain similar throughout the year, but additions and changes ARE made periodically. If you cannot see some of the submenus because they "fall off" the bottom of your screen, use your "down arrow" button, or use the "roller" between your left and right mouse buttons, to "roll down" the screen. Contact me if you need help navigating.

3.) Sign up for free e-mail updates (at right). When the site is updated, or when I have news, information, or new products to announce, the people on the "E-mail List" are the first to hear about it.
