Thanks for the info.  I have only worked on company web apps and have never
done a real web site that is exposed to the public.  However, I am going to
do a family web site soon and so I am trying to pick up as much info as
possible.

This didn't hurt too much so I think I'll save my bags for something more
intense in the future.
