My advice would be to not bother with Publisher...learn a little HTML and
CSS and put some time in with FrontPage, MS Expression Web, or Dreamweaver.
Then a little time with Photoshop or other good image editor for images, and
maybe something for graphics like Xara or Illustrator.
You may need some database help to serve up and search images of homes.
There's more too, but it's not undo-able, just depends on what you know now,
and how much of this you are actually gonna do yourself and what you have
the time/energy to learn.
Why not bother with Pub?....it's not the correct application and anything
you do in Pub now will have to be totally redone later.
Just my 2 euros.

I

I

prepared

minutes

this

| constructive to add, then I will check back with you in about 30 days,
after
| I publish website 100. Think I'm full of BS Mike? Watch and learn.
