Hey dude, I wont have time to help u edit the site as such ... ftp is basically used for uploading and downloading to and from the site .... u only need a basic ftp program to do this and i suggest a program called cuteFTP which is pretty much freely available ... go to the site .... www.download.com and search for cuteFTP or if this doesnt help just search for FTP and u will get a number of programs ... if u dont want to pay for the program make sure u chose a freeware program. As for the HTML like already posted get a good HTML editor ... a program like microsoft frontpage is good for this but does have limitations in what u can do ... i dont know what the website is for but if it contains javascript CGI and that sort of thing it all gets more complicated, I have a Computer Science Degree and am still learning this stuff after 5 years ... theres a lot to know ... but i hope some of this was helpful Feel free to message me if u need more questions answered.

Hey guys, Thanks for replying to my message, being new to both skydiving and this forum I have more questions. Please let me know if I am asking them in the wrong place b/c I dont wanna piss anyone off! When i write a new message on here if its on a different subject should i start a new thread or just keep going with my original one ? Does anyone know of any good Australian web sites with this sort of setup where I can get in contact with other skydivers in Australia? Also does anyone have any good videos on sky diving that they can send me ... i would be happy to pay for them or know where I can get some ... videos pretty much on just footage of jumps to wet my appetite :) ... i am finding that the skydiving scene in Australia does not seem to be that big ... i may be wrong tho and just looking in the wrong places .... In relation to the safety of this sport ... i will be doing my liscence when i have the money to keep my skills up but just out of interest ... how dangerous really is the sport ... i mean do u guys have a lot of accident or close calls or is it relatively safe if u know what u are doing and are sensible .... Thanks guys for ur messages ... and i love just reading what everyone else is talking about Andrew

Hi All, Just like to say I love this web site and all you guys seem really cool. Being a pretty conservative guy and recentyl breaking up with my girlfriend the natural thing to do at the time seemed to be to jump out of a plane with a stranger strapped to my back ... well this bug u all talk about .. it has bitten me .... now im hooked. I cant stop thinking about my jump and re watch my jump video over and over again (i think i am going to wear it out soon). I do have a few questions though. I am still a student with not much money. Therefore for now sky diving is an extremly expensive sport for me to get into. I am in Australia and have priced it to be around $2000 AU. My question is if i do my A liscence but then do not jump much (due to lack of money) does this become dangerous, as i am not keeping my skills up, or is it like riding a bike "once you know how u never forget". This is my main worry as I dont want to put myself in any additional danger to what is already a pretty extreme sport. Also if I get involved in a club is this a good way to save money on jumps and what sort of course and experience is required to become a camera flyer. I already have an interest in photography and short film making and this is an are i would love to persue in the future ... do camera flyers have a number of years experience before they move into that area. Thanks guys! Andrew
