SadieKate "Trek- what was the info about a free page on sbcyahoo? I might need a site to keep this info on. Hep!! Can you PM me? Snap's in HI. Not sure I'm smart enough to build a site we can keep these lists public."

sure you are, stand by, I'm going to lunch and then will be back with my tech support hat. Stay tuned.

If you have internet service you usually have access to tools to build your own website. Mine's a work in progress, nothing like V's or Spazzdogs but easy to learn how to do.

Just go to

https://home.pacbell.net/pagetools/cgi-bin/homebase.cgi

or

http://home.pacbell.net

click on "page manager"

that will get you a window that's password protected

you put in your userid and scroll throught the drop down menue to find what's after the "@" , pacbell.net, nevadabell, prodigy, sbcglobal.net, littleceasarspizzahomedepot.net whatever you have from us.

Non SBC customers you're sorta on your own but you probably have your own program.

at this point you have a choice:
if you know how to use html you can import your html files done elsewhere and they are stored there.

don't know html? don't despair.

Click on "page creator" and follow the directions to create a homepage or lots of them and voila, you're on the web. the good news about "page creator" is you don't need to learn html.

the bad news is you're pretty much locked into a specific format of headline, graphic, text, link, more text....you can import any background or graphics but you're locked to the design grid.

You can click on my homepage for an example of what you can do, it's a work in progress, I apologize in advance for any spelling errors etc.

Also there's no tech support....there's a faq sheet, and some bulletin boards or user groups I think....and for you, you lucky gal you, me.

the one tip i want to share right off the bar is that your first page would be called "index" (this will make more sense when you do it.)

you have near unlimited storage now so can add and link pages to your little hearts content.

but I've learned that, once you build a page or make changes to it there will be a radio button on the bottom where you save it

that takes you to another screen which invites you to save it and reminds you that once you do that the previously created page is gone

then you want to click on the option to view the page
open it up and "refresh".

if you don't refresh it stays at the previously saved version.
