    and why all the id's?
    <p id=”bioheaders”>
    might change them to <p>
    or <p class=”bioheaders”>

    Hi Allen,

    I figured out the problem. I was editing in WORD and WORD would only give me right-side quote marks like this (”). When I change to these (") it all worked fine. Thanks for your time.

    All the same, rows of dashes in a comment are not valid code; if you happen to have an odd number of dashes (or, in fact, not a multiple of four), whole sections of code may still "disappear" when a browser interprets it. Keep only the outer pairs of two dashes (so keep <!-- and -->) and change the rest into asterisks or underscores.

    For instance change this:
    [HTML]<!
    Slide Show Footer Below this line
    >[/HTML]
    into this:
    [HTML]<!--************************** Slide Show Footer Below this line ***************************-->[/HTML]

    Don't remove comments! Comments are good - they just need to be valid code.

    And Alan is right about the ids: you cannot have multiple ids of the same name on a page - if you want to "address" multiple things by the same name you need a class; if you want to address them individually you need an id - but then that needs to be unique.
