I was happy to be following this subject, and intended to get involved, and work on my own stagnant non-happening thought of a webpage.
Modelhead and Alan, if your can stand some lurking and can continue this thread, it is appreciated.
Regards, Hank -

I hope you don't think I'm detracting your thread Bruce... you're one of my only defenders... so I would have to be that way to you... I'm just a cheap bastage like I said before... and the price, it's the only point I've had to disagree with you on this entire thread, and your 50,ooo typed words in it...
so please guys don't take my nuts term to seriously... you're doing a great job here Bruce... don't let me stop you...

Modelhead,
Just wanted to offer some info on a hosting/domain service that might be worth a look.Their basic plan is $25 per year with a lot of features, you can upgrade services from that as well. Also, the same 0$ hosting plan can be purchased in 2 year increments and longer with a larger savings. I typically buy the two-year for $44.00
Good luck with everything.

Modelhead,
I agree with the route you are taking. My experience with doteasy started about 5 years ago and the first couple of years there were server problems a lot, and i complained a lot. They always were very attentive though and since that time have (over the last few years) i've experienced no server problems or interuptions.
I look forward to hearing others experiences. Keep in mind my site is small and doesn't get the traffic i would've hoped.... -
Well im on board also Bruce and yes with Yahoo.
I looked at the basic small business package, the cost, the service and tools provided and thought im happy to pay £6 per month for that.
If I was to purchase a similar package here in the UK it would cost a lot more.
Another bonus is you are not tied into a contract, you pay month by month and so can move whenever you wish. -
Hi guys,
I've signed up to the Yahoo starter package, downloaded their web page building tools and I'm as happy as a pig in ....For those thinking of using the same package that I have purchased, Yahoos web page building tools will only work with Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Their package will allow you to use some other software to build your web pages. You need to check this out.
I'm think I'm so damn lucky having someone on this forum walking me through, step by step, building my skills and taking me to another level.
A big thumbs up to Bruce.
Alan, sorry got that wrong

Hi Modelhead,
Glad you are back in this space helping others.I will play with sitebuilder as advised. I love the idea of getting ones feet wet, so to speak, because you learn so much from your mistakes. In fact, I would say more so, because of all the problems you have to solve. And then you learn something more. Then eventually you've cracked the nut, and its time to move on to the next problem.
With regard to your point that you feel that you are going
into too much detail. I personally think that great teachers start with the basics, and are willing to answer any questions. I am a beginner, I do like to know all the details,and I think that it is essential.Looking forward to the class on Wednesday.
Thanking you again.
Alan

Bruce, thanks for sharing your expertise on this. I am watching with interest. I may not be quite ready to sit down with the credit card, but I'm watching and learning.

Hi Guys,
I'm sitting comforably
cheers
Alan. -
okay

Okay Bruce
I signed up and the page that you mentioned comes on screen, however it then does not allow me to take control, but loads the wizard automatically, and prevents me from going to step 2 in your tutorial.

Asks me about the business I do that
Press next button. And nothing happens.I'll try it again

Im up to here. I have my sub-directory named sketchpLesson
So now you have a URL (universal resourse locator) that looks something like this http://www.ibuildmodels.com/sketchup/I Cannot see my URL
htttp://www.hand-cut-dovetails.com/sketchup/so the next part I cannot complete yet.
Paste it into your browser location field, hit enter and see what happens.The browser should now display this……(without the resident files of course)
If you will give me 2 minutes I try again

Back to web site 101 for a second please.
Is yahoo secure about protecting users info? I ask because they want 75 cents a month to protect your info, like your name address, phone etc. According to the WHOIS directory, which is open for all, how can they keep it confidential if you pay?
The value of higher education: gives you the ability to yell...without raising your voice.

posting here.
