Overview: Hello everybody my name is Bill, I was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth in 1979.  My neurologist in 2005 with input from me and research decided that I did not have the above-mentioned diagnosis that in fact I have spinal muscular atrophy.  After taking two DNA tests and having both be negative for the defective gene he still thinks I have spinal muscular atrophy. I'm still learning what I can about this new diagnosis.  Trying to discover what my boundaries and limitations are as well as my abilities.  I am confined to a wheelchair and cannot walk.  I have use of my arms and my head and upper body.  I am very intelligent and have taught myself everything I know about computers.  I design web site and create photo audio DVD videos.  I'm currently working on my A+ certification among others.  I'm looking for a job to which I can use my talents and abilities to their fullest.  I am single and never married and have no children.  I am pretty much an open book there's anything you would like to know about me I will tell you.

Overview: In 1998 I started learning how to create web pages By teaching myself how to write HTML. My knowledge started with reading books, magazines and web pages filled with how-to articles. Over the years I've learned many different ways of designing a web site.

I learned how to create a complete web site using nothing but graphics. While designing a web page using graphics makes a web site look more eye-catching and stands out from a web site using just text and no graphics. On the other hand web site with just text makes for a fast loading web page which is good if you want to make an online written report For many people to view without using hundreds of pieces of paper.

There are many, many technologies in use today for designing a web page. Most are very complicated and take years to learn. An example of these; JavaScript, PHP, Java, XML, ASP and flash just to name a few. There are more being developed everyday. There are also many ways for developing a database for keeping track of users that login, itemized lists, and items that you would like to sell online.

My philosophy is, why confuse people with so many ways to design a web page. Therefore, I create all my pages using just HTML. If my client wishes I'll use PHP or some other form of coding. Creating an all graphical web site is very time-consuming. I rely on using text and graphics to design eye appealing and easily navigatable web sites that require less time downloading and allows you more time for viewing.
