That guy above didn't really need to preach to you. Anyone who's 13 and makes a website is trying very hard to do it right, and you will only get better. No one is perfect, but you're obviously really enjoying the hobby, and that's what counts.

I wasn't trying to 'preach'. This is a bright young man with a lot of ambition. He needs encouragement from all of us 'oldies'. You know as well as I that there are MANY people out there who will look at his website and trash it because he's a 'kid', and as EVERYBODY knows, this is an 'adult' hobby. "We are NOT 'playing' with trains, we are serious adults with a serious hobby." BS! Prejudice is prejudice, no matter where it crops up. This young man does not need to come head to head with that kind of thinking. This 'kid' knows more than I do about websites. I may know more about the English language. I offer him suggestions, so maybe when I need help with a website he will respond to my needs. Encouragement comes in many forms. A pat on the back is appropriate, congrats on a job well done, etc. And constructive criticism is also encouragement unless it is done maliciously, in which case, it is not constructive! Keith, keep on doing what you are doing. In the short time you have been posting to this forum, I have seen mature growth in each of your postings. You are headed in the right direction. Doesn't matter if you are 13 or 31. You really must be enjoying what you are doing. Were it only true that I had that enthusiasm again! geoeisele did make a good point on your layout picture. It looks like it was done very well and could be expanded if you still have it. My opinion, which is what you ASKED for in the first place, is what I stated above: Keep doing what you are doing. In the not-to-distant future, YOU will be the one answering all the questions! Darrell, quietly opinionating...for now
