I would assume that they were working on this but it never hurts to bring it up. I agree, they need a major update with much more in depth information on each model they make. The Fender website is a good example. You can go into each model and see specs and big pics of each model. Lakland had a pretty good bass gallery too. I just hope MM comes up with a site that truly does their instruments justice. The build a model feature is really cool, its just too bad that it is incomplete and not quite up to date with the new models. I'm sure their working on something good. I can't wait till a new site is up.

as a hint from a pro: best thing u can do is to view the source of webpages every time you see something you think is "cool" or something that looks tricky to do ... that'll help u learn html, css and javascript. you should go beyond "webmastering" and learn some programming (PHP, ASP etc etc)
PM me if you want any info or anything

nope. i code everything by hand. I started with Dreamweaver about 8 years ago and moved on to hand coding a few months into it.

I guess this goes without saying but teh first step is to know what Javacript does and what ASP/PHP do. some people tend to confuse what these technologies do for you (client side vs. server side).
As far as how to learn:
find sites that do cool JavaScript stuff and copy them while using their source as a guide for when u get stuck. This is mostly gonna be DHTML-ish stuff. http://www.w3schools.com/ has a decent "get your feet wet" tutorial for JavaScript and DHTML.
PHP/ASP ...
I think id suggest learning PHP first just because, IMHO, its easier to dive into (especially with the .NET stuff gainaing popularity). Also PHP is syntactically similar to most other programming languages (this is assuming you use VBScript for ASP instead of JScript). Check out PHP.net and download php and install it. ()FYI: youll need a web server: Apache or IIS)
Another thing i cant emphasise enough si to have a goal. When you start out you shoudl give yourself an assignment ... challenge yourself to write a small app like this message board.
feel free to PM me with questions

a decent (and cheap @ $20) editor is EditPlus (download a trial at: http://www.download.com/EditPlus/3000-2352-10288495.html?tag=lst-0-1)
the trial period "expires" in 30 days but you can still use it after that - you just gotta click on some "ok" button (like winzip).
Its a decent editor. it has color coding and code completion etc. foir many languages

I used to play about with html a bit. Every couple of years or so I get a notion to do something with it and have to completely relearn it.
I've found the easiest way to learn it is to try and make a web page using nothing more than notepad... viewing the source used to be a simple way of figuring stuff out when frames were the most complex thing you'd see, but it became a bit more complex in the last few years with xml and css and what-have-you.
I found the Elizabeth Castro book HTML4 for the world wide web one of the easiest reference books for a beginner.
