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.

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.

Bruce,
I'm sorted now. For other peoples benifit what was I doing wrong?Two things
- I obviously didnt type in the full details which are.
http://My web page details.com/sketchup
2 I have two toolsbars now. Google and Yahoo.
When I typed in the correct details in the Yahoo search and
pressed enter, it didnt find anything.
When I repeated the exercise with Google it worked and I found
the root directory.What I would like to do now please is have 5 minutes to make a brew.
I would then like to repeat the whole exercise again, make my own notes, so I can repeat the exercise unaided.Thanking you.
speak soon
Alan.

Hi Bruce,
You said
*[i]Alan...I am a bit confused as to why you would use a "search" text box.Your browser has an "Address" text box...that is where you put the url...you don't need to search for it you have it.*[/i]

Thats what happens when you're a complete beginner at this. I think it great that I'm making these mistakes, learning from it, and other beginners will benifit.Thanking you.
Alan.
PS back to repeat the process and make notes. -
mistakes are how I learned most of what I know about websites...
look at my website name... if you read my post about choosing a domain, you saw that I suggest the " - " inbetween words so that google will see the word seperation... but in my aboveallhouseplans.com name... you can see... mistakage, and I've had the domain too long to change it...
that's how you leanr...
-
if I had it to do over again,
I would make it above-all-house-plans.com

Well another lesson learnt.
I said that I wanted to make my own notes. No need to do that.When you visit the link provided by Bruce to his lesson I did this
1 I opened up a word document.
2 I copied all of the lesson
3 Pasted it into my word document
named it web page building by Bruce and I dont have to make my own notes. Now I know this is damn obvious to some who have been doing this for years but not, to the beginner.Thanking you Bruce.
Alan
