Well, I kinda did that.already. I poured over many, many pages of free
websites before selecting this particular design, then I worked it over
until I got it where I thought it would work. Had I not decided to add
animation, the page would have been much quicker to load.

Not sure about CMS.... didn't have much success the first time around.
There seems to be too much of a gap between where I am and where 
CMS expects me to be.

Thanks,

Fred
