I'm female, have a full time job, am on lots of committees and clubs, I'm in my late 30's and taught myself how to build a website buy buying a disc with templates on from Costco back in early 2000. I'm no-one special, I just love to try new things and have a nothing to loose so why not attitude.

To get to this stage I have messed around and built over 100 different styles over lots of website's learned lots of code (which is basically short versions of words in brackets) and been to pubs to meet other people who like to do the same. It's not rocket science.
