Maybe just a bit of grammer and stuff...

There are other things included that are a little bit useful. SBC-Yahoo
is my ISP so it's convenient, it ends up not really costing me anything,
I run some subdomain websites for some people and they end up actually
paying for it.

Good looking, uncluttered page.

The links to external sites should open in a new window. Generally, you
don't want to direct people away from your site unless the link infers that
they have finished with your site.

I'm a bit ignorant about this, but what I think you mean us you have the
aghlFAQ open in one window. Click a link and it opens in the new
link1Window. Tab back to aghlFAQ and click a different link and link1Window
loads up the new page, but does not receive the focus.

Is that correct? And if so, why is it a problem? If the viewer wants
link2Window, they can right click the link and select "Open in new window".

Don't forget - HL users, particularly HL2, are (by necessity) more
internet-savvy than your typical granddad.

Good job Pete, I'll put the link in the "Welcome" post.

Just as an extra comment, if the target is set appropriately, firefox will
open in a new browser - but if you middle-click (or whatever) the link you
can force it to open in a new tab.

In due time - in due time my friend

Notice the -> at the end of each chapter?
It will take you back to the index
In the menu to the left I'll also duplicate the index

Maybe later I'll split the page?
Don't know about that

Thanks for the comment though
