What I have begun doing initially, is writing everything out in abiword 
first, as this helps to get everything organised as far as coherency 
goes, and then html hand tagging to become more familiar with it.

Certainly were.
I ran into a few blind alleys, but managed to find my way out and got an 
install, and updated.
The only messages I got were 'failed to remove' messages, and as no 
removal had been requested I assume that this is something designed in 
for later eventuality?
Other than that, everything installed without a hitch or delay.

I've been in and out like a rabid yo-yo the last couple of weeks.
I operate a small food consultancy operation, that entails taking trips 
away to client's premises on a fairly frequent basis, but I should have 
some time to devote now.
I'll make myself familiar with what I need to, and finally get some work 
done.
The only hold up now is waiting for that accountancy text to arrive.
I'm waiting on the next printing and scheduled supply is some 4 - 5 
weeks away, but there's other things I can do until then.
Regards,

David.
