I regret to inform you that my website, tomstockton.us, will go dark on or about 20 May 2018. Three facets to this: 1) Microsoft no longer supports Front Page, the program I used to build the site - I don't think they have since 2010 or 2011; 2) Yahoo!, my hosting server, also no longer supports Front Page -- these two combined means I've not been able to post any updates for new pages for several years; and 3) the cost of continuing to support a site that is "frozen" has just gotten to be too much.
All is not lost, though... I have a new web host and a new web server, and I am in the horribly slow process of moving everything to it. I'm not going to post its location yet, because, frankly, there is nothing to see right now except my home page and a few of my sub-pages. But when I get to the place where it's ready, I will post my new location.
In the meantime -- if there are "things" you want off of there, by all means -- get them now!
An alternative is the Wayback Machine -- assuming that my old website was indexed, there, you could still access the archived paged in that fashion.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause (hyperlinks, etc.) -- my apologies. I just hope my new site will be around for longer than the 15 years my old site has been.
Best regards to all,
Tom Stockton

BurtWolf,
Thank you for the compliment. I will try to get the Terrain Maker pages up and running among the first things I do.
Things are coming along much more slowly than I desire. While there is no coding involved, I am have quite a bit of difficulty getting pages to look the way I want -- very frustrating. I must have been in the minority of Microsoft Front Page users; it appears there weren't enough of us to keep the program supported. There was a learning curve, but once I got past that, I could make changes or updates or whip out a new page in no time at all. Maybe I'm going through the same thing with Wix. They certainly have a lot of tools to work with, but to this point, I've found very little that apply to text -- which is a big part of my pages. Oh, well, so it goes...
Thanks again for the kind words. I'll try to get the Terrain Maker pages up and running soon!
Regards,
Tom
