Whoosh....I went to the first class last night
whoosh
I felt very anxious (read, "I'm a dummy, I can't learn this, I should just quit"). But after the teacher (was with AT&T for 25+ years, was downsized) mentioned about coding (see above) < >, since I've had such
wonderful, patient & great cousins (yeah,
YOU Midnite, and Connie, and Raineypark, and
dom
, and MB, and many others, I had some confidence.
I did not know this....and perhaps I'm misunderstanding or misinformed; it seems as if you have to
pay for web hosting and ?monthly maintenance?? Um...no way Jose...
BTW....is MB and/or Midnite paying for here...let us know, and we'll send money
The teacher also went into how it wise to have a separate host from your home IP (eg, Verizon & Comcast each have 'free' web space to their subscribers). He told how if say Bob the Bartender was viewing my site (if it was on MY IP), he could also get into my personal info which is on my PC (I hope I phrased that somewhat coherently....) Now, I went to register.com and the domain.it that VW's mentioned (thanks again!). The teacher said to KISS (keep it simple) for your web address, so I put in my family name. Of course, it's taken, and a few variations are too.
So, in addition to feeling archaic and stupid and having little time/money, I feel like why bother?? Waaa....I want my mommy!!!!
