• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Great Websites!

You all have great quality websites and i really need some help. I'm sick of the freewebs.com websites i've been using and want to know how you guys are setting up your pages. I was thinking of getting MS Frontpage but it is awefully expensive and i would have to pay alot for a domain name. I am willing to pay but please make it cheap! Thanks a bunch,
Tyler
 
i use free servers from atspace.com and web1000.com you can also try the free alternative to frontpage. Probably not as good, but its free and its similar to it. It's the webpage editor thats included in the mozilla.org browser. There is a place to get cheap domain names, i forget the name of the site, but it's suposed to be cheaper.
 
Here is a good site that will teach you everything about making a webpage: http://www.htmlgoodies.com If you learn enough on that site, you don't even need software to make a website, you can just write it all in notepad.
 
I use cool page, www.coolpage.com $28 and its very easy, drag and drop, you can also insert html codes too.

My www was $7.99 from Godaddy.com and my hosting is $23.40 a year from 2mhost.com
 
thanks for the help guys. any other HTML teaching sites that are more geared towards getting a whole page done instead of one line? I've known the basics (links, pics, etc.) but really want to know how to creat buttons, nav bars, tables, and those neat whitish frames for text. Thehypogecko's site looks like exactly what i am trying to go for. Beautiful! If i can't catch on well enough i might just have to pay you write me the original pages and i'll learn editing. (editing is easier than creating from scratch ;) )
 
My new site (www.illinileosandpetportraits.com) is hosted through www.hostingspot.com for $5.95/month - a 40% educational discount (paid monthly!)...they have a page builder where you choose a basic page design...but then you can change all the colors and use your own images (although some of them have images you can't change... :p ). All the stuff within the pages can be either done in regular html or through a simple editor thing that puts the html in for you. You can demo the builder from https://cp.hostingspot.net:8443/psoft/servlet/psoft.hsphere.CP ...it tells you how to do the demo. You can also use a domain name from anywhere...you don't have to buy one through them or transfer it to them.
 
You can try bravenet.com, dynamicdrive.com, there are a lot of sites with codes for counters and menus. If you need a whole page get a free template and work from it.
