America’s Beach Bum

This page was inspired by the Colophon found at Leo Laporte’s website. 

The site is written in XHTML Strict with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and delivered using the open source blogging software WordPress.  The theme is a derivative of the Blue Sky Beach Theme.  The site is hosted and maintained by JS.
