Being a relative newb to HTML and such (I started building webpages about 8 months ago and have worked some with php) the article on making your own homepage was nothing new to me. What was new, however, was the idea given in the article on keeping your login information stored in the website, so that it would be automatically entered when you click on the link. How would one go about this? Or, more importantly, can anyone recommend some good sites for HTML information above and beyond the "basics" which I've got down pretty well. (or so I think, anyway). Thanks in advance guys and gals

I guess to break it down for sure, there are two ways - Client side and server side. Server side would be having the server cache all the IPs that come through the site (involves MySQL databasing). Client side would mean that you will need to write a script that saves the login information on cookies - can be accomplished through PHP. Hope that helped - for further reference, I would consider looking at a book called "Visual QuickPro Guide - PHP/MySql" by Larry Ullman - very readable.
