What are folks using and who needs a set up?

Who knows what this means? All you "newbies" out there who want to build your own site, here is the scoop!

"ftp" stands for file transfer protocal. It is a method of getting your files up to the folder where your site is located. If your files (photos, html files and such) are on your hard drive, they need to be "uploaded' to the location where your site is located to be visible in your web pages. The html files need a configured path to locate and display the images properly.

There are many ftp programs available on the web at no cost. Normally they are a free download. You can do a google search for ftp software to find them. Once installed into your computer, you can launch the program and begin transfering files to your online folder. It is nothing more than a channel software to transmit your files. Most of them are very easy to learn and use. All you need is your key information from your provider (the ftp address, username and password).

I hope this has been of help to all of you out there who are trying to build your own sites! Have fun!

Thanks Kay, I really haven't played with it much yet. I have two versions of ftp, filezilla and coffeecup on this computer.

Thanks for the info Kay.

Fortunately I had this great guy say he would do it for me, so I did not even have to learn how to do it.

Thanks Dean, don't know what I'd do without your help.

I know one thing for sure, I still would not have a website and I would still be listening to my husband saying, " I thought when you got this computer it was so you could get a website and start getting your name out there. When are you getting a website done?!?"

Thanks to ABN, I never have to hear that again. But I do have to listen to, "Are you still on that computer. How long does it take you to make a website!!!"

Marcia:
Yeah, Dean is the greatest.

We are certainly fortunate! I don't know of any other site where the Webmaster is actually active in a positive way, and helpful, and goes way beyond his required duties to help us with all this network/computer stuff.

(most webmasters are just monitors, others act like Gods) teee hee.

Dean is obviously 100% for us and the horses!

Marcia: you ought to put your website link below your banner. You can do that by going to "your controls" and adding it (the url) in there. That way, there is a direct link to your site.

We've got a website without knowing all these FTP protocols. Dean has configured it for us.
Thank You!
