Website

[leesa_perrie]

I've done most of the website alterations that I wanted and added all the artwork that's backed up over the last three years. I still have a few minor tweaks to do, but those aren't urgent, so I'll get to them as and when I feel like it!

Anyway, if you want to go poke about, feel free to! Leesa's Bit of the WebComments are always welcome, along

That looks really good! You should be pleased with it.

I don't use HTML either. Is it all point and click?

[leesa_perrie]

Thank you! :D

The software is a little more than point and click, but it does make life a lot easier once you get to know how to do things. Pretty easy actually, but limited compared to modern day swishy-professional sites!! I'd recommend it and could talk you through the basics if you wanted. I also use Filezilla to upload, as that's very straight forward to use.

If I decide to do it, I'll start on Wednesday. That way, I can pay for an account that day. If I get stuck, I'll email you, if that's okay?

Thanks for the offer. *hugs tightly* I had someone email me the other day asking about my website. The Yahoo one was far too expensive to leave up - talk about a moneypit!

Sure, email me if you have any problems. At least Nvu is free, so if you can't get on with it, you've not wasted money. I use the older version, I think. It does sometimes crash for no apparent reason, so make sure you save regularly! (But hey, it's free!!)

EDIT: Btw, in case you're wondering, I use the US lycos/tripod company for the website. It works out just under £4 a month, but they do have free sites that should be fine if it's just fanfic. I'm sure there are other companies offering this sort of thing, possibly for less or for free too!

That's odd. I clicked on the standard paid for option and it said £22 for the year. Maybe it's cheaper per year?

Anyway, I'm fine with that as Yahoo was $35 per quarter!

You're looking at the UK one, unfortunately when I set mine up the UK site was in danger of closing, so I went with the US one. Looks like that one costs a little more. Maybe one day I'll have to look into moving the website, though that has problems associated with it too!

Go with the UK one, it's cheaper!!

Also, I forgot that they have website builders on the site. You may not need to download Nvu and Filezilla after all - though you'll be on your own with that, as I've never used it.
