"Who did your website?"
I received an email inquiring about who did my website. I was flattered because I did it myself. It's my feeling that everybody should have a website, and anybody can put together a very presentable website fairly easily. The easiest way I know of is to join Yahoo and go their Geocities site. (Since this blog is part of Google, I hope they don't get offended and shut down my blog!) Follow the directions and voila, you have a website. One thing though, you have to spring for an extra 9 bucks a month to get a site without all the Yahoo pop ups.
That's not how I made my site though. I am by no means a professional web designer, but I have been putting websites together for a few years now. I originally started with a program called Bullfrog, which is, as far as I know, defunct. About 3 years ago, I started using Front Page and am fairly pleased with it. I have not had the time nor the inclination to switch to what the pros mostly use, which is Dreamweaver. I use Adobe Elements for my graphics and pictures. I also have bookmarked, Bellsnwhistles.com a handy site for all kinds of free graphics. Another great resource for me is HTML Goodies. It has great tutorials and scripts to use on your site.
As far as uploading new stuff to the site is concerned, there are three ways I can do it. I can use the Geocities file transfer, upload directly from Front Page, or use an FTP program. Most of the time I use WS_FTP. It is not the newest thing around, but I have used it for years and I am comfortable with it.
