Good Man ~ Take no notice .... he only knows about turkeys anyway and they can't type.

Errr no. THAT post wasn't directed at our friendly piss taking Turkey plucker.

Anyway Snoops, if I get stuck can I come up to your mountain retreat to let you do it for me please?
BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE. OK?

I learnt and used the adobe package. Mine is called GoLive but it may have changed since then. I loved it. Very intuitive and easy to use.

The point is that you never really learn by being just told something. You have to understand and the best way is to do it for yourself, mistakes and all.

As I say to my son until he gets to me "What do you think?"

Yea I know that. To understand anything, you have to listen, and to do that you have to be told surely?
All I'm trying to do is find the best solutions to my problem, ie., setting up a web site of my own that I can ammend if and when neccessary.
To simply plunder on in the dark without seeking advice or help from anyone would be foolhardy in the extreme.
This electrical heap of rodent shite could be terminally damaged due to my I.T. incompitance, thus denying you all the pleasure of my posts forever!


Yes, did I hear a muttering then?

I do have feeling you know.

And I know about cows and machinery

Absolutely. However, I don't think that necessarily understanding it is necessary. My grasp of html is patchy at best and yet I can manage to get a website up and running.

Anyway, I'm hopefully about to prove the doubter wrong.

I was up beavering away in here until 1am setting up my new web site.
Everything going fine until I came to pay the server who's automated system refused to accept any of my credit and switch cards despite several attempts.
I'll be ringing them at 9 to conclude this fine feat of mine.

The new web site looks pretty damned plain at the moment....just a very nice shade of green background with my text in normal font and  a little picture of some muddy tyres in the top left hand corner.
It needs to be developed, added to and improved, but at least it should be 'live' on the www for my potential cussies to see very very soon. 
Got myself my ltd company name with .net for 11 squiddlies for 2 years. Well chuffed about that.

Just remember that the sign of an amateur web master is whizzing blink text and a cursor that has crap attached to it as it whizzes round the screen. Try to keep it as clean as possible.

Most Web-site builders that are available on the net will allow you to create the site in Windows and do the conversion to HTML for you. You do not need to even think about HTML .... just push the button when it tells you to.

With mine the html bollocks runs in the background and I create it using what is basically a whizzy graphics package. Love it.

I know I should learn this the hard way by simply not asking , but WHAT is 'blink text' please?

Basically exactly what it says IE Text that blinks on and off or does other fancy stuff that confuses people like this

How dya do that then?
Sorry. Shouldn't have asked.

Mighty impressive. Shite, but impressive.

No. My site will be an oasis of peace carmness and tranquility. No tricks, no fancy stuff, just a plain and simple description of what I'm offering.
Probably chuck a few snaps in eventually.
