Do you want a website of your own ?
There are now over 100 million websites around the world. The number increased by 30 million in 2006 !
As there was little interest in this subject the main page has been deleted. Please get in touch if you would like a copy of the original page. See my e-mail address on the Index page.
Google have now helped to make it easier to create and upload a website. So, go to http://pages.google.com and use their Google Page Creator. You will need a Google Account such as a Googlemail address.
However I can say that the program I use for web creation is called AOLpress. Although it dates back to 1997 it still does a good (if not very exciting) job and can still be downloaded from http://www.mmsd.org/webpub/aolpress.htm It is very simple to use. One merely writes as you would in a word processor and then saves the file. Adding pictures is almost as easy.
These days it has got easier to have your own site. Without any cost whatsoever you can create a site of your own at www.blogger.com. Go on. Have a go ! I just did at http://silverhairs.blogspot.com.but haven't developed it.
Another contact (Jaydee) has created a site at
www.freewebs.com/jaydeetee,
which has pages on computing in the very simplest of terms. See
http://members.freewebs.com/
if you want to start a similar site. My own site (this one) is created on
www.freenetname.com, which is now owned by www.madasafish.com.
If you just want to put family photos on line so you can tell people where
to look there are several organisation that let you do that such as Kodak,
Jessops or Google's Picasa. Apart from it being easier than sending copies
of pictures to people via e-mail or through the post it is a way of backing
them up in a comparatively safe place. Because picture files can be quite
large when they come out of a digital camera or are scanned you do need to
either compress them down or use a fast internet connection to upload them.
Most people use special web authoring software to create
web pages but if you would like some instruction on
