Designing my web site -pt3

Finally I had everything ready the way it was supposed to be, but I still couldn’t see my page when I typed the address in my browser. I tried a few different things, like praying, Yoga, candle burning, Santeria, I even sacrificed a small cricket (poor little thing, it was in my way when I was kicking the flower pot). Then I decided I’d better call support. The friendly typer on the other side just suggested that I clear my cache in my browser...and puff! There it was, my brand new web page. Why didn’t I think of that? (Poor cricket!)

I have to say that I hope those guys get paid well because they are incredible smart, very polite and patient. Great service and a great crew. i will definitely recommend this service to everyone; in fact, here is my plug Lunarpages

I have to say that the experience was very rewarding. I learned so much about something I didn’t know anything about. For you readers, I suggest sometimes you just take a risk, walk a different path, break the routine, just take a chance and do something different, you’ll come out a better person at the other end if you pay attention.

Thanks for reading.

Designing my web site -pt2

Well, I finally figure out a lot of my troubles, mainly it was operator error. I had an extra space at the end of my server name so I could not access my server from RapidWeaver. I still can’t see my page from my browser when I type my domain name in my browser, but I think that’s an issue for my server provider.

More on that later....

Designing my web site

Today is my first day attempting to build my first web page. I am rebuilding my reel page with all the new projects I have worked during the last 4 years (Yes, that is how long it’s been since I upgraded my last page, but that is another story for another day).

I am using RapidWeaver for the mac since a good friend of mine suggested it. “It is simple and everyone can do it” he wrote to me in an email adding the overexposed smiling face at the end ;). Well, so far so good but there are so many different menus and language I am not familiar with that it is becoming a bit frustrating at times; and now I am reading the manual, after going through the lame and very short tutorials in their web site. They also think; “It is simple and everyone can do it”.

More on this tomorrow...
