After seeing BV's foray into "PID" (Pond Information Desimination) I am finally
listening to my DW and trying to put together a website for your basic cheap
"I'll do it myself" kinda person. I have always been the type to find a way
around the high prices of specialty items. I want the site to be a step by step
"how to" with links and credit given to the people who I have unashamedly copied
in my quest to save a few bucks. Below is a rough outline that I just put
together. I am asking the PORG to feel free to make additions and give me ideas
so I can cover all the bases. Please cut and paste to your hearts content.
