    Lost and Confused

    You mean like another GeoCities/Angelfire/etc? Okay, it's the first suggestion anybody's offered so far, let me consider it... 1) How would I get the infrastructure in place? The built-in WYSIWYG editor, the file manager, the accounts system, etc. 2) Where would I host this? I'd need some...

    SysAdmin Position Available

    Done. And no problem whatsoever with that time frame - as I said, I've gone half a year without a sysadmin and with the server in its half installed state - a few more days will make no difference whatsoever. =)

    Lost and Confused

    I believe they scrapped the previous site in its entirety. I found out the hard way when I wanted to add another post to a previous thread of mine, so I clicked the link on the email notification that I still had in my Inbox, only to be taken to a thread I'd never seen before. Tried another...

    Lost and Confused

    Have you spent seven years in the game with not a single penny to show for it? =) {nods} Will be one of the first things I do once I get at least one of my sites up, you can be sure of it! I was allowing a little of my desperation to seep into my written tone to convey some of the sheer...

    Lost and Confused

    You're not kidding there! That was the most useful, helpful reply I have ever received on this topic! Thanks Stephanie! I said I hated marketing, I didn't say I couldn't/wouldn't do it, or wasn't good at it. =) I'm only hating marketing right now because of being directly in the marketing...

    Seeking Graphic Designer/Fantasy Artist

    I'm more looking not only for sketch work like the Vaelor's Keep dragons, but also really for people to do contract work to specification, rather than purchasing pre-designed graphics. However, coincedentally I do have another project on the drawing board involving realistic 3D models, so...

    Seeking Graphic Designer/Fantasy Artist

    Please see the front page of Vaelor's Keep. That header image was designed for me by a girl from Brisbane, Australia, whom I met by pure chance in an IRC channel one day (and not a graphic design or even business related channel either, just a regular chat room), who designed the logo, and...

    Lost and Confused

    I have to say I disagree (for the first time so far, it seems) with zkiller on this one... me, I have several site concepts, some are sites I would run for "fun" - ie. more for my casual enjoyment than as a serious profit generating endeavour, and others that are strictly business. For example...

    SysAdmin Position Available

    Hey, why didn't I get an email notification that this thread had been posted in?! >=( Well, time isn't an issue - as I mentioned, I'm pretty much dead broke, so I'll only be able to pay you for one or two hours here and there when necessity meets available cash meets your free time. My last...

    I hear ya there buddy. Me, I've been biting my tongue, so to speak, since his last post, and continue to do so. My rational mind can see he's just a troll and that the post was clearly flamebait, but my emotional side is itching to post about two dozen retorts and sarcastic replies. I admit, I...

    Best Web Design Software

    As I mentioned in the other thread (which probably prompted this one), I have never used Frontpage. And by that, I don't mean I've never touched it whatsoever, I mean it's never been my editor of choice, not even out of inexperience or ignorance, when I first got into web design, etc. I've taken...

    I'm right, you're all wrong, and now I'm not listening anymore? Wow, flamebait much? How remarkably childish. I'm fighting the urge to point out the remarkable hypocrisy in this idiotic post that fails to explain any real merits of Frontpage other than "Who cares if it produces crap code...

    SysAdmin Position Available

    Well, being kind of new here, I don't actually know who or what a [tab] is, but if you think [tab] might be interested in picking up a little extra cash, and you happen to be speaking to [tab], could you be a sport and point [tab] in the direction of this post? Cheers. =)

    Lost and Confused

    Me, I have inspiration by the bucketload, but barely an iota of motivation, which is a side effect of having been in the business for over six years and not having a penny to show for it. The internet is like, killing my soul, man. =) I'm beginning to think that I may never actually run a...

    Lost and Confused

    Sure thing. =) Actually, I was going to say that in my last post - would be curious to hear what the boss man himself has to say on the matter, since he's the one holding it all together! Seems like a phenomenal task to me, but then again, I can't even get one profitable site online these days! =/

    from where to start

    Actually, zkiller makes an excellent point. This being a Web Design Forum, the majority of people responding to an inquiry about how to go about creating a website are speaking from the POV of already being an experienced webmaster themselves, or at least familiar enough with the process to be...

    Lost and Confused

    typo That seems to defy forum logic to me man. I mean, for starters, more topics means more likely that your question has already been answered - you may need to spend more time actually READING forums or heaven forbid, even SEARCHING them (a concept most forum n00bs find hard to grasp...

    from where to start

    None taken whatsoever. Just wanted to emphasise that my reason for not choosing Frontpage myself was a matter of personal preference only, and not something I could explain/justify sufficiently to a web design newbie beyond "Well, it creates really awful code...". =) Just because I wouldn't...

    from where to start

    Yeah, that's... well, pretty much what I already said. Hand code if you're serious about web design as a long term thing, WYSIWYG it if you just want to make a hobby site. My main point was that if you plan to make many websites over the course of your life, you'll appreciate later that you...
