Hi there,

Yes, I would have been done in two and a half pages had there not been a 
misunderstanding between what I placed in the forum to change in the 
copied index.php file and what was actually placed there.

I didn't find out until after about 6 hours and a lot of wondering why 
it wasn't working and when I was waiting for him to tell me something I 
might have missed, that he pasted in what he had put into the index.php 
file.

Then I knew what the problem was and it was an easy fix. Well, almost..
