The latest one was 'your site has been enabled' - yet it hasn't, I still have no access to it at all. Now I have to wait even longer for another reply. I have had to contact 5 different places - my hosts, my domain hosts, my hosts support team, my domain hosts support team and then finally the right place my hosts 'abuse' team. All of them reply promptly except the hosts abuse team. Oh well, next host I go with will be one in Australia because atm I am with an American one (its cheaper in the us) however this means I don't get the phone support. I have found a company that has servers in the US, UK and Aus (www.solidinternet.com) so I may go with them. They had a friendly and smart sales rep so we will see. Thanks for your support.

I'm so glad you are finding these writeups on InDesign useful. I haven't thought about creating a PDF from them (though every time I do a new ID article, I add it to my ID Squidoo page!). I will definitely consider putting them together in a PDF. and thank you for the suggestions on other ID posts I could write. I have a large project coming up that is rather a legal document which requires section and paragraph numbering so I'll be researching into the best way to do that. I know ID is capable of it, but I'm not sure how to do it yet. The more I use ID the more I love it! *Grumble* Yes... we all have hosting issues. Why can't they just have hardware that never fails and script debuggers that deal with the issue before it takes over the whole server? Come on! They need to get with the times! ;) John,

An incredible piece of software. Great tutorial, Lauren, and very easy to follow. If I'm ever required to teach InDesign, I'll be printing these out. Any PDFs? Also, will you be doing one on basic (and complex) page layouts/templates? And re the hosts, I can sympathise: it's never the hosts fault of course. I usually find this scenario is played out: 1. site is slow or goes offline; 2. contact host; host says nothing wrong their end, must be a script or something; 3. they then announce on their stystem status page, that they are experiencing widespread latency due to some hardware failure; 4. scream!
