That's good idea. I was just haivng "????" moment when I was looking
at the page "current/tantra/12chakeye.html" and wandering how come
title text wasn't showing up in my Dreamweaver window. It shows in
browser though... I figure there is no ram file link for lesson 12.

I think the undeline the link in this case is much better to make it 
more
clear that there is a link.

This I can tweek from CSS so let me know.

No, I don't have that font. Next font is Georgia and I think that's
what I'm looking at....

I actually don't know much about the Mac font. Is there anybody
has some idea?

Depends on which font that you are looking at it, I guess.

i think it's up to you. I'm fine with what we have now.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here, but whatever you think is fine.
We can always have others help with files and see how it works.

One at the time is better I think. Especially how the site is refined as
we go, you never know what kind of changes will come in a future.

You can always print screen the one of those lesson page and 
open it in Photoshop or some other imaging software.

Put (paste) the images whrere you would like to be.

Move things around if it needs to be.

Send the screen shot file (PSD files No later than version 6 please.) 
to me with the actuall jpg or gif images that needs to be added
in html.

Don't worry about it. Just focus on what you are doing now.
We will figure it out some how. Everything will be done eventually. 

Sometimes just reading and replying email can be a lot of work...

Blessings to you
