About My Website
Louis Hoffman
I must give a significant portion of the credit for this website to my brother, Dr. Louis Hoffman. Louis is a professor and acting dean of the faculty at the Colorado Professional School of Psychology and the editor of several websites including,
I use Dreamweaver MX 2004, developed by Macromedia, as the software to design this website. Dreamweaver is more advanced than programs such as Microsoft's Frontpage, so it takes a bit to learn. That said, the power of Dreamweaver is definitely worth the time it takes to learn the product.
Netwind Learning Center
Since Dreamweaver is more advanced, it takes more effort to learn the software. I used a set of interactive training CDs produced by the How To Gurus at Netwind. Whereas I cannot speak to any of their other products, I strongly recommend the interactive training CDs as a means to learn Dreamweaver.
Webhost4Life
I've used webhost4life as the host for my website and I have been quite happy with their services, especially the detailed website statistics that they provide.
