ok, now i've been challenged.

lol, yeah, I made a geocites site too, but it's not the same thing as having your own DOMAIN (it even SOUNDS more official...)

lol im just saying that taught me alot back then. i got big into computers and relized that the technology feild moves faster then i can learn. so i got into cars after that. then into growing pot cuz its cheaper then working on cars.

oh snap its still up Outlaw's web doman

edit: looks like i was 16 back then. so much changed in 4 years. damn....

lmao, everyone needs a hobby! And you hit all three of the best. I wish I could work on cars.

i grow pot because it's mindless. like watching grass grow or paint dry.

one day i have three plants. i go to bed. i wake and take a look around. "how the hell did i end up with 75 plants?"

i had to stop going to the clubs last summer because every time i went i came home with a new cutting.

yeah i would go with hostmonster.com

150 dollars for 2 years unlimeted bandwidth and 80giga space i think... thats what i have...

ermmm, also u can create simply webpages with frontpage, does the html for you...

if u want a database u might want to check out php & mysql

The hostmonster.com sounds like a good deal. But don't use Frontpage, it sucks major ass. Get Dreamweaver for sure! Its simple, elegant, and perfect for beginners and advanced web designers. I think servers (PHP) and databases (MySQL) might be a bit too advanced for what you wanna do. But if your up to it I'd recommend those also.

i keep hearing "dreamweaver". tell me more.

Or there is ACTNOW domains. If you have your own domain name they offer an easy set up but I think you would be better off having someone else either do it for you OR help you do it yourself.

I had my own website for a couple of years and had no help with it and on dial up it took me about 3 months to set up but it worked. In hindsite I would have got someone to make one for me or help me design one. If you have people offering to help you I would take them up on it because it isn't an easy thing to do.

It sounds like an awesome plan tho and I am sure you have a lot of people interested here.

I couldn't use frontpage on my webpage. It wasn't compatible. So I did all this work on front page and then went to download it only to find it wouldn't work
Yeah it sucked.

Still into the mitsubishi eclipses?

Heres the Dreamweaver link.
Adobe - Dreamweaver CS3, Web Site Design, Web Page Design, Web Design Software

Dreamweaver has a "code view" and a "design view", which is nice. For me if I'm in design mode and something is doesn't look right or isn't being displayed properly, I can just switch over to code mode and troubleshoot the problem. Dreamweaver is also nice cause you can create a direct connection with your host server and upload your files (web pages) straight to the server and its automatically updated on the internet.

no im into 5th gen accords and the mk3 supra

dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) HTML editor. you basically are making a page like you would a word document.

you could be up in running in 5 minutes if you did something simple like a wordpress blog. running a website with wordpress would be as easy as posting to the forum. you fill out a form and add pictures. people can comment on it or you can disable comments. lots of nifty features.

1. buy a domain name
2. get a hosting account
3. install wordpress (a hosting account with a host that uses cpanel and fantastico allows you to install wordpress with 2 clicks)
4. post text and pictures to your website via a simple admin form.

i offered to host you but dont know that i can host a site of the nature you want, need to check my terms of service. either way i could set up a practice domain with wordpress installed and you can test drive before you buy.

pm me but im crashing now and will have to reply tomorrow
