Hello and thanks for visiting my blog.

Welcome to part 3 of ‘The Newbie’s Guide To Editing and Uploading Their 1st Website’ in which I will take you from the point of purchase to the point of uploading the completed website.

As YouTube will only allow a maximum of ten minutes per video I am showing you one task at a time, so this may seem a little slow but please bear in mind that this series is aimed at helping people that have never done any of this type of work before.

This Third video deals with Domain Names and Hosting. I have recommended the two companies that I use for these services, but please feel free to look around for alternatives of your choice. Also; it may be worth your while getting in touch with your Internet Service Provider and asking about free web space as most of them do offer it. However if you’re with Orange, I know that they only offer a basic template for you to fill in, which is no good for what we are doing here.

If you do manage to get some free web space from your ISP your web address is likely to look something like:

Welcome to part 2 of ‘The Newbie’s Guide To Editing and Uploading Their 1st Website’ in which I intend to take you from the point of purchase to the point of uploading the completed website.

As YouTube will only allow a maximum of ten minutes per video I am showing you one task at a time, so this may seem a little slow but please bear in mind that this series is aimed at helping people that have never done any of this type of work before.

This second video deals with downloading HTML editing software, (in case you don’t already have some on your PC), and editing some of the pages within the package. I also show you how to hyperlink your email address.

During the video I forgot to mention that we will be dealing with payment buttons in a later video, so please do not attempt to add them just yet. Some websites may need payment buttons on a multitude of pages. In this example however they are all on one page, the ordernow.htm page, but like I said that will be covered in a later video.

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog.

In my last blog post I told you about my aims for 2010; to create more products in a brand new niche and to create a video series to show newbie’s exactly what they need to do when they purchase their first website.

I have since had a date through for my operation, 02/02/10, which is my wife’s birthday and the first birthday of this blog. I have been told that I will have to stay in hospital for at least 2 weeks, if all goes well. Which means I may be in hospital for longer if the operation does NOT go well, grrr.

As a result of this I have decided that the brand new niche idea will have to wait until I’m discharged from hospital as I don’t want to be stopping and starting with my research. I think it would be better to complete the challenge in one flow.

So, what about the video series that I’ve spoke of…..

Let me introduce you to:

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting my blog.

I had hoped to get this blog post written the day before Christmas eve but my mum’s health took a turn for the worse.
My regulars readers will know that my mum has been very unwell for the last few months. The hospital had discharged her to a residential home for an interim placement for a few weeks to see if her condition improved, which it did. Then on December 23rd she started having a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA, Mini-Stroke). The doctor was called and treated her for the condition, but the following day (Christmas eve) she had another TIA so the Paramedics were called in. My mum was readmitted to hospital, where she had a further 7 TIA’s over the Christmas period. She has now been discharged again and has returned to the residential home, for the time being, I hope.

On to the Blog post:

Did you achieve all that you set out to in 2009?
If you did then “Congratulations” are in order and you should give yourself a huge pat on the back.

If you didn’t achieve your goals, what stopped you from doing so?
