Suggestions! Requests! Corrections!

From the lens How to create symbols on your blog, Web site, or Squidoo lens with HTML numeric codes.

If you know anything at all about technology, it will be painfully obvious that I'm a dilettante at best. I welcome all suggestions and corrections here!

    One thing to keep in mind is that Flash is nowhere near as search engine friendly. If you want to be found, it's easiest to stick to HTML. In the meantime, feel free to check out (and comment on) my lenses on Touch Screen Monitors and Cat5e Cable.
