Get a text editor like Notepad++ that highlights code, and it is easy to see where your text will go. If you really feel you cannot handle it, you could use a WYSIWYG editor like NVU.</blockquote> Stop linking to Nvu, please, link to kompozer so I don't have to kill myself. Btw, kompozer is a great tool even for serious designers, it has an easy to use css editor that shows changes on the page right when you do them. I always use kompozer. From attackr…

I spent <em>ages</em> trying to find a good deal/a reliable host/etc. I think I dilly-dallied almost six months before finally getting the site up! @Marie: That’s one piece of advice I took, actually! :mrgreen:

If your host goes out of business you don't want them taking your domain with them. And if you ever leave your host, they can't hold your domain hostage.

That really helped me out.(You might find coupons for a little bit of a rebate too. ;) ) Also, somebody suggested to me that you probably shouldn't get your hosting and domain registering from the same place. I guess there are always exceptions, but it seems like a pretty good rule of thumb. *always needs help from Payal and Marie* But if I can manage it (with help) anybody can. :razz: I can’t agree enough how important it is to research where you’re getting your domain and hosting.

Like you were saying on Gtalk yesterday, sometimes the big names come with lousy customer care. One of my friends registered his domain with Rediff here in India, paying a premium rate for a .in domain. Not only did he get terrible customer service, they didn't even give him complete control of his domain! He had to give up on them and pick a .net finally. @Scottsdale: Thanks for visiting, and for your comments! You're right, of course. When you require any sort of serious website, playing around isn't recommended, and you should get a professional to do a good job and take care of things like SEO. However, I was attempting to address the total newcomer who just wants a personal site, and wants to know what the basic steps are. @Marie: You have a point there!

Fun? Business? Sales? Marketing? Information? And how effective do you expect it to be? There are times to go w/ a professional company and times that if you want to put in the time and effort you can do it yourself.
