"Blood, Sweat and Tears!!"

Written by Jane Fulton


Continued from page 1

Now I had to start all over, after months of working and struggling to build that web site justrepparttar way I wanted it.

I had heard so many good things about Front Page 2000, but couldn't see investing $150 forrepparttar 117833 software, when I had already paid $99 forrepparttar 117834 software I was using. This time I knew I was on my own. No way could I afford another three hour phone call ! I thought about it for a few days.

I read about netscape in an ezine. I thought, 'jane, how could you be so dumb?' ! You can use netscape to build your website ! That was a joke! I have to compare Netscape torepparttar 117835 directions for putting together an item you just purchased. How many times have I bought something that I had to put together ! The directions are so 'easy', aren't they? You will be lucky if they printed outrepparttar 117836 full directions. There are always 'fading' letters, I call them, which leaves you trying to figure out what those letters are so that you can putrepparttar 117837 item together.

Let's not even discussrepparttar 117838 wizards ! As far as a newbie is concerned, they might as well not be there! I didn't talk their language and they didn't talk mine!

That didn't work. either ! What to do............... ........... Well, I decided to go ahead and purchase Front Page 2000. Months before, I had purchased Terry Dean's Busn. 2000 package, which contained a video on how to use Front Page 2000 to build your web pages. I have to say that I have found Front Page 2000 to berepparttar 117839 easiest piece of software I have used, once I got to know my way around it. Betweenrepparttar 117840 video andrepparttar 117841 software, I managed to get my website up and running. When I didrepparttar 117842 feedback forms for my site, I would watchrepparttar 117843 video, pause it, work withrepparttar 117844 forms, back torepparttar 117845 video ........you getrepparttar 117846 picture. Anyway, I DID IT!! It was time for me to upload my pages to my host's server. With Front Page, this was a snap. Just click on publish web and it was off and running. Once I gotrepparttar 117847 pages published, I couldn't wait to view my website! I typed my URL intorepparttar 117848 browser and waited. Error page. I got an error page! What happened? I uploadedrepparttar 117849 pages. Where were they? I immediately emailed my sponsor. I told him that I had uploaded my pages, but they weren't there! He emailed me back, all calm and cool, and told me to go into my control panel and uploadrepparttar 117850 index.htm. I did this, although I was highly skeptical. I just knew that I was going to have to begin all over again! But, guess what, It worked!! I finally had my website up! All I could do was look at it and cry!! I actually DID IT!!! (with a little help from my friends).

I wrote this story about how I got my website up to encourage all of you out there that are struggling with whatever:

1) NEVER give up!! 2) Read ezines--they help!! 3) Ask for help. There are people out there that are willing to help you. 4) YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

I still have a lot to learn aboutrepparttar 117851 world wide web, but I am willing to learn and it will come in time, when I'm ready to receive it. One thing I am learning is patience. Patience has never been one of my strengths, but it's becoming one dealing withrepparttar 117852 web. I am meeting a lot of great people and doing something that I love to do alongrepparttar 117853 way. The lasting friendships, doing something I enjoy and yes, evenrepparttar 117854 failures and triumphs of learning are all worthrepparttar 117855 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'
