Deen et al.
Could some of you comment a bit more on the histograms. I am generally familiar with them in the at, as I understand it brightness is across the x axis and number of pixels at a given brightness is on the vertical axis. I am not, however familiar with how to interprete the results into better pictures. Again, this has been part of my intended course of study, but I am having to compress the schedule dramatically to get everything in before this shoot.

Tim, it's easy enough to use the D70 as a rough and ready flash meter. Steps below:
1. Set up the lights as you like.
2. Set the camera on Manual Exposure Mode
3. Shutter Speed to 1/125
4. Aperture to f8
5. Take a shot
6. Play the image & bring up the histogram (push the selector right)
oops... i forgot to put in here...
***. adjust the aperture if required to the correct exposure ***
7. The histogram should be as close to the right as possible without any clipping
