I just recently completed the web template (HTML / CSS) for www.AdamsBlock.com. The creator of the web site, Adam Jackson, asked for a clean simple layout with light grey and blue colors as well as an area to place two embedded web cams and a chatroom. He left the rest to my imagination. The web template was created then files were sent to Adam to complete the final process; He added content to the About & FAQ pages explaining the history and basic information about the web cam.

Eudora and Mozilla Thunderbird are both great alternative software programs to Microsoft’s Outlook. Mozilla Thunderbird is my personal preference as users can increase Thunderbird’s functionality and appearance using hundreds of add-ons.
