Modifications are getting much easier now

I gotta tell you guys, making changes to AC7 is getting alot easier.
I'm starting to grasp alot better knowledge of ASP.Net and that has helped a great deal. You've done a great job of working each section or feature as a user control. Your ASP.Net coding is very advanced compared to my skill level, so the learning curve has been steep but necessary.
I have great flexibility when making a change to a site feature. With a single line, I can comment out your control and make mine integrate seemlessly. That makes documenting site changes a breeze. And future AC7 updates won't take me 6 weeks to incorporate into my site.
The extensive use of CSS means visual consistency is maintained with hardly any effort at all. My buttons look like your buttons. My section headings look like yours. Because they are yours.
It is a hassle to have everything I want to do require containment in a user control. But, I can see much better why that is necessary.
I had pondered if I should have bought the source code in the beginning. I just don't see any need for it for my site. Having the ConLib files is more than I'll ever need for my modifications.
