Posted By: Kim <itskimsemail@aol.com> In Response To: How do you bulid a web site (Eric)

Hi Eric,
I can definately help you out on this one. About 2 years ago, I was in a delemma. I was involved with Coastal Vacations and wanted to add my paylink to the site. Because it was a replicated site, I was unable to do that. SO I got creative and said I would learn it myself. It gives you so much more control anyway.
So here is a bunch of information. HTML is very easy to do.
I purchased "the complete idiots guide to creating an html 4 webpage" by Paul McFedries.
I use www.sothink.com for my html editor. There is a free version but you can only work on one page at a time... may be all you need to get started. I have dreamweaver but find this so much easier to use.
I use ws_ftp95 as my connection to upload the coding. If you do a search in google there are free versions of this.
I use third sphere for hosting. Its $25 a month and the best customer service I have seen in all my 7 years of marketing.
My experience has brought me away from those websites creating programs. I found that different computers showed the information differently and it caused a lot of problems. Plus you are then making your website like everyone elses. If you take a little time to learn it, its like riding a bike or driving a stick shift -- you never forget it.
Depending on what kind of site you are building, you may want a menu bar. Sothink has one but its a little bit of a hassle. Everytime you make a change to the menu, you would have to change the html on everypage having that menu. I found that spending a little more on one pays off. I use www.opencube.com dhtml menu's on my sites. When you make a change to your menu, you just reupload 2 different files and your done. No changing to each page.
Anyhow I hope this helps you some. I know if you dont understand things it may sound chinese. I have learned all of this, along with photoshop. I now create many of my own websites, and have even made replicated sites for my whole team. Learning this info will pay you dividends over time.
Have a good day. By the way what kind of site are you building?
Kimberly

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
