Building BobSmithPhotography.net has stopped expanding because I've been overwhelmed with spam on the comment forums. So, if you're here and have questions about web design come and visit Forums, Blogs, Wikis dot com. It has articles that I've written, some of which are also here, and a web design forum as well so you can ask any questions you may have. There is still a lot of good stuff here though, so poke around the links and take a look.

The Domain Name System is how your computer knows that Microsoft.com is really  207.46.250.119. Computers only understand numbers so Microsoft.com is really worthless to them.  They have to have a numerical addresses to be able to find servers.  Fortunately for us, who would have a difficult time remembering numbers, DNS servers are available to translate for us.
