"The
feeling
remains...
Even after
the glitter fades"

...more whining
I lied. I won't whine. If you've come this far, I want to thank you for sticking with me. Yes, I've had my moments, but overall, this had been an incredible experience for me. It's almost like "re-living" it in many ways. I met so many wonderful new friends and found numerous old ones. I've gotten compliments and "fan" letters I didn't think I deserved, but it's the feelings behind those words that moved me more than anything else. I know the site ain't too fancy and it's become so unorganized over time, but in the beginning, I had no idea of its future size and content. I just threw a few photos and stories on the internet and it escalated from there.
In the beginning, I had no idea how to construct a website. I bought Front Page and six books on Front Page and was still stumped on how to carry out so many functions that a decent website needed-like "How to Upload" onto the internet. I spent a day and a half trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I'd spent weeks constructing the site and then I was unable to upload. This led to bouts of bawling almost over an entire weekend. I was doing what the books said to do. Click 'publish' and put in the password and user name. It just wouldn't work-wouldn't upload to the net. I finally called for help and the person on the phone said, "You ARE connected to the internet, aren't you?" Uhhh, duhhh, NO! The books-none of them had stated that. So I learned to connect to the internet before attempting an upload, and I kept learning, but I'm still trying to figure out the guest book's problems, so Front Page School never ends.
Again, thanks for sticking with me and for sending so many incredible, priceless stories and photos. I'm so very lucky to have lived in and around the Sunset Strip in that incredible historical era, and then to live it again through you, my friend.
Love, Nancy
