Sorry.. Please inform > the webmaster > would not occur. Oops, power outage and for some reason MySQL doesn't come back up right on reboot. Stupid debian. Anyway, when the sparemint site is done I intend to host it on more reliable hosting (atariforge servers) that is if Rob gives the final blessing. Where it's at now is fine for dev work. aoi is a reliable server too, I just keep screwing with stuff for development too. I use .php for all pages for consistency and flexibility. It adds virtually no additional load to put html inside a .php file with no php code, yet at the same time reduces the need to change stuff crazily later. I understand your concerns and they're valid but this is definitely my style and I'll be sticking to it... I'm already too deep in a dynamic setup too.. the entire site is dynamic and database driven and it's a good thing IMHO because all of the dependency resolution and such will be done on the server due to my poor C coding skills ;) Thanks, Mark
