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.

This is what I am seeing when it loads.Top menu

'Welcome and lets get ready to build
Asks me to select a category- i do that
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.

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.

Excellent tutorial Bruce, worked seamlessly!
It's nice to have some webspace to upload to and a very easy method of doing it.Looking forward to the next step.

After lesson 1, the test.
Submit an image on this forum. Okay
This shot was taken at Eaton Hall, Chester. Left to right
The Duke of Westminster PR, my better half Barbara, and the head forester.
Submit a model or document. I choose a model.
The sketchup image is of a jewellers saw that I use when removing the waste between the pins of dovetails when I make them by hand.
http://www.hand-cut-dovetails.com/sketchup/jewellerssaw004.skpI hope this works.
If it does its thanks to Bruce, and thanks to Coen for this great facility.
fingers crossed.
Alan

Bruce,
Thankyou that teach was brilliant.
Alan.
PS. I had to do a few workarounds on the Yahoo site. I've added to Bruces lesson notes, and will post a link to explain the problems I experienced and how I solved them. -
Bruce.
And another shot.
This was made to commission from English oak with cedar of Lebanon drawer bottoms. The latter timber has a lovely fragrance. I did have some say in the design and most of it I am pretty happly with.Unfortunately the lady wanted the drawer fronts like this and not recessed like the door panels. Combined with the wooden knobs to me it looks completely incongruous and ruins the piece. Having said that she was over the moon with it, so in here eyes a complete success.
cheers,
Alan

Hi Bruce,
Have I passed?
With regards to the front page. I know your joking, but I've been looking around at other web sites and have a few designs in mind.
Until I'm completely happy with it, and of course maybe a better domain name, I won't be rushing into that.
Have you any day/time in mind for lesson 2?
And a big cheer to you.
Thanking you.
Alan
PS. I'm going off line soon. Time for a kip. -
I think Bruce means just a placeholder page... something to start off on...
like this file upload this to your main website directory
open the zip file first then upload the contents... the index.htm file
-
yes I forgot to mention that modelhead...
be sure to check with yahoo or your respective host on what home page name to use...
Yahoo was one of the first, they owned companies like geocities... and they pioneered some of those names... like I believe "default" "homepage" and "index.htm" are all viable still... but check with your host...
index.htm is just the most prevalent for basic site function
