Dear Debbie and distiguished thread followers,
I've taken a look at your source code and all I see is this:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=3DLink CONTENT=3D"http://www.fiu.edu/~deidel01">
Try this instead:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Refresh" CONTENT=3D"10;
URL=3Dhttp://www.fiu.edu/`deidel01">
Just make sure to change the 10 to the number of seconds you want
visitors to dote on the current page before moving on.
Note: the number of seconds you want people to wait only kicks in after
the page had COMPLETELY loaded. Watch out for this. I know people that
have tons of animated gifs on their first page and then set the delay
time to 30 secs. for people to jot down/change their bookmarks. So
people have to wait like for the load time + the delay time to get moved
automatically (up to 2 minutes).
For an example of how this new refresh would look, go to

Hope this helps.
