Website Advice needed, please
Pine Cone was so upset that no one was posting his adventures on the net
that I decided to turn his earthstink website totally over to him and his varied fantasy life. Well, we have a problem. Earthstink has a new site builder, and the d*mn thing not only hates me, but refuses to work with me at all. I had the second page almost perfect, all I had to do was shift the links and runner up and I would be done. WRONG. I shifted the links up and the whole thing went totally out of kilter and now looks nasty. I put the links back where I had them, and it is still nasty. I want a web site I, a total novice at web building, can work with, make attractive, honor the great Cap'n Pine Cone, and not have to pay for. YUP, I'm cheap. So, can you help me? Can you recommend web hosting sites that I can work with, without any training in web design? Can you help me get Pine Cone back on the water before he tears my eyes out? Thanks, Pam S. beleaguered |

Thanks, Pam S. beleaguered I used the Trellix Earthlink provided which I guess is what you used. I had to use my old Windows machine which I don't have anymore (sent it off to a nephew). I am trying to find something like you asked for the Mac. I'm not real interested in learning HTML I just want to put some pictures of the cats up. |

Most likely your copy of Windows came with Front Page Express. This is a web page designer. I don't personally think much of it, but it does work. Design your page, save it as per Front Page Express's instructions, then upload to Eartlink or wherver you want to put it. Good luck. Yowie |

Thanks, Pam S. beleaguered what about Pine Cone starting his own Yahoo group, like meankitty has? He and his colleagues could post their stories and pictures on a group quite easily - and it wouldn't cost a dime. Brenda |

I use Netscape composer to write the page and then upload to lycos.com and have had no trouble getting a mirror upload. I do know html and could write a page using whatever program is available but I enjoy the ease with Netscape composer and Lycos. Julie |

Thanks, Pam S. beleaguered Pam, don't know what you're using, but if you're on a PC and have Netscape, try using Netscape Composer. That's what I've used for my four websites, and it works very easily for the most part -- very little knowledge of anything other than some basic design stuff involved. You can upload to any site with WS Ftp (forget the full name), a little program that is free if your site is non-commercial. Hope that helps! Ginger-lyn |

John,
Actually, learning HTML is quite easy and I find it much more rewarding to tinker around with html instead of the publishers... but I will say that it's much easier to layout picture pages (%picture pages picture pages open up your picture pages...%) using the publishers.
