Hi Ben,

Reading, yes. I keep a copy of the PHP functions reference on my 
nightstand and try to read about at least one new function per night. 
Hopefully more will seep in by osmosis. ;)

I do have a sandbox set up with a bunch of basic stuff that I go back 
and refer to as needed, but I really should the bar a little.

I've downloaded Smarty a couple of times, but never got around to 
installing it. Since you're the 2nd person to mention it, I guess I need 
to buckle down and get busy with it.

If you do think of anything, let me know--I'm all ears.

Thanks!
