See you think it's impressive! When really it is all just a bit sad.

No. You misunderstand.
Impressive in that it's impressive in what can be done, but shite as i said, in what and how it looks.

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.

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.

If you play about with PowerPoint you can make almost anything happen to your script but to achieve the travelling effect just look above the emoticons on this board and you will see a letter M with arrows either side. The Letter is travelling across the little screen. Now highlight the line you want to move and click on the travelling M. and
BINGO

I hear that Power Point presentations are now considered NAFF as well they should be when people substitute effects for content and facts .

Agreed ? once you see the first slide zoom off the corner of the page or merge into the next you can be sure that the content will be shite!

I refuse to use power point. All my demos are html files.

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.

Don't you even wash them before hawking them about?

Everybody else was trying to help with marketing tips for the website.

First major cock up alert.
U.M. will be so pleased with me as i cocked up ALL on my own without help or guidance from ANYONE!

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.

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.
