ok i dident know what xml was but i knew html and someone asked if i knew xml.  
and in like 5 minutes i am writing this page now lol.  but yea xml is easy to under-
stand its just a file used to store data to be retrieved in an array.   very simple ok 
first  make a file on desktop data.xml  and also make a file index.html if you have 
problems on this refer back to my   basic html page.   at the top on step 1 it says 
how to enable your pc to do that.   but whatever.    uhh first right click on data.xml 
click open with. select notepad. and then copy and paste this into it..

 
ok now save the file  and close it down.     if you made an error on the page it will 
say page cannot be displayed,  if you did it correct it should list it the same but in 
colors.    then it was coded properly.    yes there is < and >  just like in a html doc-
ument,  but the tags can be what ever you want them to be,   its your choice.  now 
right click on index.html file you created. click open with notepad. just like you did 
with xml document.  now copy and paste this code into it  and click save.

 
ok now save it,   and click on index.html file,  and it should display your data in an 
orderly fashion. if any problems follow the steps again.  if you got it right first time 
give yourself a cookie  you deserve it..    well anyways you can make the array as 
long as you want,    and add more things anything you want.      for example in the 
xml you can make a     <PHONE>(555)555-3435</PHONE>    and then just span 
PHONE like you did firstname and lastname.   but yea thats it thats xml.  its just a 
data file to retrieve information.  like a class / array.  im not really too sure .  if you 
havent noticed yet my drum stick beats another drummer.   or i am just a freaking 
nut case in other words.   but since i showed you xml you should allow me to have 
sex with your wife.  sounds fair?  thanks  but yea i only have known what xml is for 
past 10 minutes now. who cares right? nobody cares about ditt. ditts elone
