thanks James. cutline has the new custom.css file that allows changes without changing the source files. unfortunately, the key elements, like background, do not use the custom.css. i directly modified it and put the bg.gif image in the tag.

i suggest downloading the firebug firefox extension. it will show you exactly each element on the page as well as the css tied to it so you can see it.

great website, man, and i like how you've customized the blog template.

by the way, how exactly did you apply a background image? i'm using Cutline too, but i haven't got a clue how (or where) to add that.

duly noted. while software can help the logistics of a project, the people that are involved are still ultimately the key factors.

learning programming trains your mind to re-check, test, and evaluate the efficiency of how things are done.

while commercial software may benefit, there are also other robust, free open-source options.

Yes you are right...sometimes the best projects do fail because of ignorance to detail. That is why a formal project management methodology such as MPMM is important to use.
