Following on from the helpful advice some of you lot gave me a few days ago, I've been sniffing around looking for a suitably easy diy web site maker.It looks okay but my guess is that you?d be tied into them forever?
The diy route has been decided on, it's just who to use that's the problem. Bloody millions of them. ::)
How exactly does an I.T. nugget realistically compare one against the other and find the one that is most user friendly and v.f.m.? Banghead
What do you reckon to this one that I plucked from a Google search?
http://www.homestead.com/
It would be so easy to simply 'click and go' but would value some more experty opinions before commiting myself. Wise decision I think, yea?
Any other suggestions/recommendations? rubschin:
I want this all up and running pdq, as the printers are waiting patiently for my further instructions.
Don't believe a word he says.Who, me???? eeek:
Hope that helps! drumroll:
Draw some pictures on your scanner (wax crayons will do). Scan them in and then send them to, er cyberspace.
Frankly, I dunno how it works either. I get a woman in!
Right. I've done a search, and there is a name I can have for 7 squiddlies for 2 years.Buy the domain name and it?s yours to keep for as long as you pay the bi-annual fees.
So, I register it and pay, but then I have to buy some software package to develop a site, yes?
Where do I get this package, and roughly how much do they cost?
More to the point though, just how easy are they to use, and do I need to know all about these very complicated looking htpl codes or whatever they are called thingies, cus if that's the case I'm terminally stuffed.
We are talking about a total and utter useless I.T. git here you know.
I don't want to go to all the expense of purchasing a domain name, and then some software, only to find I can't use it due to total and complete and impatient ignorance. crash:

To run a web site you?ll also need to purchase some web space. Again, but it and it is yours for as long as you keep paying. All our sites are hosted by UK2 (although this one is having a few teething problems at the moment), they give you a vast amount of space in the package along with e-mail addresses so you can have for instance sales@growler.com, info@growler.com etc.
You will then need some software to edit your web page although you can theoretically do it with windows or some such. I use FrontPage ? I?m not sure how much it is but there are similar packages cheap or free on the tinterweb. If you want I will investigate for you.
you won?t need to lear any complex HTML commands ? the software is all user friendly and pretty much what you see is what you get (WYSISWG) so if you selct the text and make it bigger for instance it will look bigger in the preview and bigger on your web.
Most packages have a ?publish? feature (FrontPage does) that automatically loads the pages onto the tinterweb for you. If you need help I?m happy to oblige?

There are obviously 3 ways of doing this then.
Go down the Nick route, and get some bit of fit fluff in to do it for me...at a price I suspect, or some other unreliable 'tomorrow tomorrow, leave it with me and nothing will happen' man. ::)
Use one of these diy sites like I linked before that presumably provide everything but you're tied to them.
Do as you suggest. Buy the domain. Buy some web space from..... rubschin:...a web space shop?
Then buy some package or get this Front Page thing that appears to be free! eeek:
I'm just a tad on edge about going down this 3rd option route, in case I find I can't cope with it, even though it does sound the best option.
I'm in essence, just a few mouseclicks away from completely bolloxing my entire new business venture up! scared2:

"He is the most well known ancestor of the current residents of Growlerville - almost everyone here claims to be his descendant. An innovator and risk taker, this ancient healer/shaman/philospher/scientist gathered and painstakingly studied every encrusted phenomenon he came upon during his early years wandering within the Sacred Reservoir (the ancient name of the Forbidden Zone). Oldold's research enabled him to develop all kinds of powerful applications of these new discoveries."

That should be you up-and-running. Additional services that U2 charge me for are web statistics so you can see how many people visit your site every month and professional DNS services which you don?t need. they may also offer to spam filter your POP accounts for you at an extra charge.

Just done a check on Google, and the last version was published in 2003...I think. It's called something else now apparently.

U.M. will be so pleased with me as i cocked up ALL on my own without help or guidance from ANYONE! angel1
After much deliberation and late night trawling and comparing of diy web site sites, I finally decided to use a UK based company.
Purchased my .net domain off them, and applied for what i thought was the diy package and hosting.
Tried to gain access to the web building programme, but couldn't find it.
After an hour of struggling through pages of options and stuff, I finally resorted to ringing their help desk.
I'd only gone and purchased one of the host only packages. ::)
Too much choice and options blinded me I suspect, 'kin duffer. crash:
I've now cancelled this, and will get all my money back when their accounts dept opens up again on monday morning, and will then be able to purchase the pack i need.
Well impressed with the help desk though. Dead sympathetic and helpful, AND they answered the phone quickly.
Growlers very simple and basic web site will be up and running on monday evening. whistle:
A host only site is not so much of a problem as you think.
You can shop around for free (unlikey for a business site) or cut priced web servers anywhere in the world.
Once space is secured, you can 'point' your web address to the new host site and display it there. People will not even know it has been diverted.
Cost is usually minimal for the first page and then rises as your business demands more details and crucially more bandwidth to cope with more demand, but as that is a sign of increasing company earnings it shouldn't bother you.
Keep a small simple web page to start with and let demand point the way to expansion and improvements, Much more sensible than an expensive and complicated site that has the potential to confound customers.
The essential stuff on a basic page is, a brief description of what you are offering, how to find you, an indication of how much it will cost them, and contact details - name and address, phone, fax and e-mail address.
A picture or two to illustrate the essence of it all to those that can't cope with text is good but everything else is optional.
Your web page is there to open lines of communication and information but not for entertainment. First you need to promote awareness of the existance of your site and then once they have found it, give them the basic facts before they get bored. The average web surfer these days will quit looking for information and move on in less than 30 seconds if the page is too complicated to read or to heavy in graphics to load quickly.
Your home page must load on any browser by any connecting method (remember dial-up still exists) in less that 15 seconds, if lots of pictures prove necessary, then they can be in sub-pages where people will look if they are interested enough, They won't stick around to be interested in the first place if it doesn't open to start with.
Remember the importance of POP/SMTP mailboxes mentioned earlier.
Thank Bouncer, I am trying to take all this in and I hope Growler is getting more of it than I am. Banghead

After much deliberation and late night trawling and comparing of diy web site sites, I finally decided to use a UK based company.
Purchased my .net domain off them, and applied for what i thought was the diy package and hosting.
Tried to gain access to the web building programme, but couldn't find it.
After an hour of struggling through pages of options and stuff, I finally resorted to ringing their help desk.
I'd only gone and purchased one of the host only packages. ::)
Too much choice and options blinded me I suspect, 'kin duffer. crash:
I've now cancelled this, and will get all my money back when their accounts dept opens up again on monday morning, and will then be able to purchase the pack i need.
Well impressed with the help desk though. Dead sympathetic and helpful, AND they answered the phone quickly.
Growlers very simple and basic web site will be up and running on monday evening. whistle:
Could easily have cost me 60 quid though. Didn't read about the 30 day money back guarentee. They told me! eeek:

So are you going to show us then?
No problem Growler, I get the impression from some of your post that there are some out there who bear you ill will. Why I have no idea.
We may rag you a bit but we're not malicious.
You could always PM those you trust.

Funny that. That's what all the gerls say. cloud9:
I sadly am unable to publicly advertise the web address on here for fear of certain undesirables that MAY come in here and use it as some sort of instrument to give me more unwanted heartache.
I'm no expert on these matters, and believe me, I would love to publicise it, as the google spiders could then start werkin' on it to get me up the ratings....I believe...apparently?
Advice on all this would be greatly appreciated, but it's NOT something I would care to take an ignorant risk over on this occassion...Uncle Mort. ;)
I'm sure or at least hope that you understand my concerns.

Slightly related. Does anyone in here have a credit card terminal in connection with their business?
Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to get one with all their inherent problems, but that it seems is the price you have to pay for getting the punters to part with their...well someone elses actually...money.
Any advice would be greatly received.
Cheers for that Snoops.
I've now discovered that I do indeed have a bank account actually. eeek:
I'll take your advice and do a bit of searching for a company to take the payments for me I think.
I really don't want the hassle as I'm out and about all day robbin' radios and hub caps. whistle:
Carrying a c/c terminal would be most inconvienient and take up valuable swag space.

Just a thought. Do potential cuzzies have to be members of Pay Pal or World Pay to pay me?I?ve never used paypal in that way?
Just how difficult is it to join up with either of them? Do you need some sort of seperate bank account? How reliable are they, and presumably not having a terminal thing, THEY have to post on the c/c receipt on to the cuzzie?

It's just a second site that is identical to the first one. For instance ours are .ltd.uk and .com
.com is the real one that is on business cards etc and .ltd.uk is the one I use for testing.

Loaded a new picture in the gallery this morning, and it's only just showed up now. confused:
Stupidly I'd already put this picture in the gallery, so it's a bit irrelevant now and will have to be deleted. ::)
I sent a ticket to the server, and they've replied stating that it will probably be because of my server.
Oh?
Really? whistle:
What's THAT all about then, and how do I 'fix' the server?
TBH, I'm not actually too sure what the server does...apart from serve up what I see on here I presume?
So in a nutshell, what do I do apart from clear my cache, which I've done with CCleaner, and lost all my passwords as a consequence...some retrieved, some not, YET? ::)

Not much you can do really except for refreshing the page you are viewing in your browser. Arguing with your IP about their update intervals is usually futile.
I have found accessing the site from another computer to be helpful as I know it will be taking a fresh look at it.
I don't know about IE but I use Firefox and it has a bolt-on that refreshes my pages automatically every minute, two minutes or 5 and so on to save me the bother, but it's a bugger when trying to do this (write a thread) as it keeps renewing the page and erasing what I've written, you need to disable it or write very quickly...

I also get the annoying pop-up ads which go away if you actually buy it but I only use it rarely and haven?t bothered.

Have considered getting out of aohell, but quite a few have warned me to expect major problems completely getting away from them, all their software being buried in here now apparently, and extremely difficult to eradicate completely.
They aren't too bad in many ways, and i am used to the layout which I find user friendly and easy to navigate my way around.
As an example of their quirkiness though, look at the trouble me and Degsy had getting in here....no authorisation emails received for aol users.

If I tap in the first 3 words into google,it's there, great, BUT it comes up welcome page followed by my email address rather than the title of my web site. crash:
I don't know what I've done wrong tbh., but I obviously have done something.
Tried renaming the welcome page to the web name, but to no avail. sad32:
Well that leads me nicely into a little problem I've discovered.Its not the page name ? it?s in the page properties?

I'll have a look later and see if I can tweak it.
Found the properties ok by right clickin'I dunno... shrugs:

How do I go about getting my website up the Google rankings, preferably onto the first page.
I've added all the 'keywords' for the spiders to pick up via the free facility provided by my hosting company, but I still can't find any reference on the first 10 pages.
If I have to buy this facility, how do i go about it, and how much does it cost? rubschin:
Thanks BIG B. ;)
My thieving accountant paid someone to get his web site onto the first page of Google apparently....over a hundred quid a month. eeek:
Mere loose change in his ashtray though I suppose. evil:

Less that 10% of people planning a day out will ever think to look at the internet ~ after all less than 50% of households have access to the internet anyway ~
Then you don't live in a village of 2400 people in North Wales. lol:
The village website, which covers everything about this village including where to eat/drink, what to visit, ALL business telephone numbers and addresses (grouped by category), Info about schools, churches, attractions, events etc gets fewer than 1000 hits a year and over 50% of those do not last more than 20 seconds. Remember that this is an historic village, in a known holiday destination, through which thousands of vehicles bearing holiday makers/weekenders etc drive every week. We are two miles from miles of sandy beaches, within 25 minutes of Snowdonia and 30 Minutes from Anglesey. There is a large Night Club and leisure centre here plus four pubs and of course our famous waterfalls. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book and the castle was captured from the English by the Welsh. The Bible was translated into Welsh in this village. You would honestly think that perhaps a few more people might have a look at us.

How do you change it to a simple 'click here' for map? rubschin:

Only 20 pence to get in, free car park (next to the church) two good pubs. Red Lion opposite if you just want a pint or two or 50 yards away the New Inn which is a bit "Foody" and there is a Tearooms/ice cream shop at the entrance to the falls. Depends on how much rain in the days before your visit but it can be very spectacular.

Somewhere in Wales worth visiting! eeek:
Briefly dropped in to your 'city' on the way to Canarvon lol: last week Snoops, to ogle at the waterfall. eeek:
Where TF are the signposts for it ey, or is it for residents secret viewing only? ::)

Exit A55 at Junction 31. Take third exit from roundabout onto A5151 signed for Prestatyn. At next roundabout take first exit signed for Dyserth You are still on A5151. Stay on that road through Trelawnyd and onto Dyserth. Once in Dyserth the A5151 becomes the High Street. Pass my house on the right the chip shop and other shops on the left. As you go down the hill out of the village you come to a crossroads where there is a Pub called the Cross Keys on your left. Turn right at these crossroads (Following in fact the sign that says WATERFALL) and descend a steep and winding hill called WATERFALL ROAD. At the bottom of the hill you will see a Pub called the Red Lion. Opposite the Red Lion there is a narrow entrance to a small car park. There is a big sign that says WATERFALL Park there and walk 50 yards back to the road and you will see the waterfalls. You can pay your 20p at the WATERFALL SHOP and enter the Waterfall Gardens and explore to your heart's content.
By the way the Welsh for Waterfall is Rhayader or Rhaeadr (It seems to depend on the sign writer but Welsh is like that) and some of the signs say that as well.

I've sworn her to secrecy and PMd her the address ~ if we can't trust Wenchy then we have no hope.
Not at all. That has always been a common statement.
Banghead
I know but this is Wenchy and she is no ordinary wummun.
She's sort of "One of the lads" really.
Oh God I hope that doesn't offend her ~ she's bloody lethal with that rolled newspaper and my nose is getting sore.

Never had the urge or knowledge of what to expect to press them tbh.
