I created and maintain our church website at www.cpcsebring.org and have been doing this for the past two years.

I learned how to write html by looking at source code on the internet before I created my first web site www.teacherhelp.org a site I created while serving for six years as a teacher in a Christian school on the island of Saipan. It is a site I created mainly for teachers in Christian schools, although it is visited by home school and public school teachers as well.

I now use FrontPage 2000, which makes it easier and faster to create and maintain a web site. I have found my knowledge of html very helpful, even though I use FrontPage. There are times when I need to change or correct something by hand. So knowing html comes in handy.

Hi Audrey,

Thanks for the post!

I browsed your teacherhelp.org site. Wow -- there's a lot of useful information and links there!

<< ... a site I created while serving for six years as a teacher in a Christian school on the island of Saipan >>

Where is Saipan located (just curious)?

Sounds like a really interesting gig. How did you end up getting that job?

Sincerely,

David Gillaspey

When I first read where he was teaching, I misread it as Spain. Thanks for calling my attention to the fact that it wasn't, David.

Saipan is located in the same island arc as Guam.

Located to the southeast of 20 degrees N and 140 degrees W (the map didn't have the letters/numbers grid thing, so I used the latitude and longitude lines), or about due west of Manila in the Philipines.

David,
Saipan is about 120 miles north of Guam and is a part of the Northern Mariana Islands. Teaching there was a wonderful experience. The student body included local Chamorro and Carolinian children, as well as Other Pacific Islanders, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, American and Canadian children.
We heard about the opening through InterChristo.

Sorry, Audrey. Didn't mean to steal your thunder, but that "I know, I know" light went off in my head.
