Hi guys,
sorry about not responding earlier - for some reason I didn't get the usual indication that additional posts had been added to the thread.
Donna, I'll be happy to send you a link when I start using the new template I won - it's been finished for a couple of weeks but I've taken some time off listing on eBay in order to stock my new website and save some ebay fees since it's been so slow of late.
Thanks to both of you for letting me know a template CAN be used to make an about me page
