<h4 style="margin-bottom:-15px">About me.</h4> <p>I'm not a php expert and just have a basic knowledge about it. I usually get there by looking up examples, making mistakes, learning and above all with persistence. Therefor constructive critics are alway welcome. </p>

<h5 style="margin-top:-10px;margin-bottom:-15px">My website: https://www.aadswebdesign.nl</h5> <h5 style="margin-bottom:-15px">In progress.</h5> <p> This site is in progress and there is still a lot to be done. Because I have limited time for that, the progrees is at a slow pace. At the first page I have an html print of browserinfo. <?p>
