Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Template for webpage
Hi, I have just signed up for an online class and they are wanting me to
browse the web for a good looking template to use to create a webpage for
myself. I am new to creating webpages. They want us to find one this way
and then edit it to our liking and transfer it to our file boxes.
Any suggestions as to where I can find a "good looking" template to edit for
myself.
Thanks,
"always learning"
