Brinkster is a free web host that supports ASP. You get 30 MB of space and no ads on your site, plus ASP 3.0 support, MS Access databases, a web-based file manager, and control of the ADO & FileSystemObject. How cool is that? There is a great article on / introduction to the syntactical differences
JavaScript Tutorial
Several people have asked me how to add random text strings to a web page, so I thought I’d write a little tutorial. All you need is a text editor and a web site. If you publish your own blog, I’m sure you’ll be able to do this. If you follow these simple instructions, you

Rebuild Hack
It was a dark and stormy night. I had a rebuild error in my individual archive template. I yelled at my monitor, “What could it be?!” I hadn’t modified that template in weeks! Something was wrong. And it was bad. I couldn’t rebuild all. Ack! What to do? I begged Ben for assistance. “Help!” I
MT fix
