More in the Community Starter Kit. I finally got all the data pushed out,  after installing a 120-day eval of SQL Server 2000.  The images are apparently retrieved by a highly dynamic building of a path,  which does not make it to the uploaded depoyment of the virtual directory files to the public Web (address not yet revealed,  since it is ,  for now, a development site until I work out my deployment/update strategy.

It was 2am when I got to bed last night.  The SQL tables all needed a lot of “hand editing” to add primary keys,  ALLOW NULLS,  and default values.  I think I got all those updated this morning,  and now the image problem is before me.

It felt good to again be deeply engrossed in the activity of deploying and configuring a Web site.  For the first time in quite some time,  the project is one where the direction and “intitial research” and exploration is up to me;  it is my strategy,  and I was free to keep the mignight oil burning because it was MY PROJECT.  There was no rebellion against going the second mile,  because now what needs to be done is heading toward strategies and technologies for which I have great expectations.
