i'm going to proceed forward and try to make some changes on the web-hosting side of things. it may cause this site to be "down" for a couple of days. if so, that's what's going on. i think i can redirect my domain name to the new hosting servce without having to change registrars...anyway, i'm going to give it a go. if not, i can always revert back to angelfire. anyway, fair warning. see you on the other side!
