Thanks a lot.

Hi Michele, Thanks so much for the tutorial on Spry menus. I am a relative newbie and trying to convert a basic Front Page website (www.jbwesterndance.co.uk) to a better looking Dreamweaver site. Your tutorial was invaluable and in fact I will be using your whole web site extensively.
Really appreciate the help provided on the site. Feel free to use any of these comments.
Regards
Brian

Awesome Site!
I am new to your site.  I just watched the tutorial about using the cutout effect to build a cartoon face.  I was very impressed with how professional the tutorial was.  You are very good about really explaining and showing how to use a feature and not assuming people know what you are talking about.  You also did a great job of going beyond what one can find on on-line help and instead actually showing how to use the features in PaintShop in a practical way.  

Thanks a bunch!
JJ

Hi Michele,
I just finished watching the second tutorial and I am really glad I found you. You are very clear, and you are not afraid to explain things step-by-step, exactly as I need it right now. Dreamweaver was intimidating to me but I really wanted to learn it. With YOUR tutorials, I feel so much better about learning the program.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your contribution :-)

Great Tutorials!
Saw your Dreamweaver Spry videos and loved them.  I was having problems with my spry menu and there was so much I learned.  Took three courses from New Horizons and left overwhelmed but your videos brought it together!

Hi there
I just wanted to say, I could finally do an animated project with your tutorial. I did the candle and the flame. I finally can say I did something wonderful. Thank you so much for your thoroughness. Please continue to do what you are doing. I am truly feeling less stress with this. Thank you so much for your time and effort that you put into this. I love the gradient tutorials also. I am much obliged.

Have a great day.
