CF is there, on the server.

aardvark: you must remember you are talking to a code idiot.  I have 
no reason to prefer one thing over another (except my semi-irrational 
distrust of all things Microsoft) ...

Partly I'm concerned about trying to do too many things and getting 
caught up in multiple learning curves.  So I want to focus on one 
language first: the one that I can 'get' and the one that will help 
me do as much as I need to do in a relatively simple, intuitive 
manner.

I'm a holistic, not a linear thinker, and comfortable with the 
concept of a tag-based system.

yeah, I think it's time for me to do some reading.  I compiled a good 
list & now just need to find a moment to sit down & do it.

re: Flash/accessibility....

I envision Flash being used (down the road) in small bits, 
cosmetically, as decorative details; something that could be easily 
replaced by a gif and an alt tag.
