Website Setup For Dummies

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate]

Website setup help, please?

I would love to set up a website to sell my art online. The problem is I have no idea how to do it. (Yeah, I know, I'm a fool, idiot, moron, etc. Okay?) I know very little HTML. Does anyone know of a site or program or whatever where a dummy like me can do this? I've emailed people who will design a site for me, but they all said I'd still have to learn HTML to get it up and running and then upload my inventory. This is all very confusing. I don't suppose there's any way to set up the site or have it set up and then just enter the items the way you do it on eBay? I'm clearly out of my league here. Please be gentle...


Hi, Alice -
Hey, first of all, you are not a fool, idiot, or moron. You're asking the question, right? A f, i, or m would be too dumb to ask.
There are lots of web hosting providers that include what are called "e-commerce" do-it-yourself setups. They do not require any knowledge of HTML at all. However, if you have no web design experience you may find that when you do it yourself it looks like you did it yourself. You said you've corresponded with people who were willing to design a site for you, so I'm guessing that means you're willing to pay something for the design. In that case, if you find a friendly designer who doesn't know you don't need HTML to upload your inventory and maintain a shopping cart, point them to this site: www.findmyhosting.com. You can search for hosting providers with all kinds of capabilities. My favorite one, where I host several sites, is www.qualityhostonline.com. It's very inexpensive (a few bucks a month).
All of the good providers have what's called a "control panel", and inside that you'll find a thing called "fantastico", which helps you install pre-configured scripts. There you will find a variety of shopping cart and storefront packages, all free!

Good luck!

Aloha,

David

Blogging For Dummies

blogging for dummies
Integrating a blog into a website!?

I recently created a website for my mother using Yahoo! Sitebuilder, and although I've had some trouble with it (I really know nothing about web design), I've managed to get it finished and published on the internet. My mom is a bit of a blogger and wants to put a blog on the site. I've been reading Blogging for Dummies, and none of it makes ANY sense. I activated 'WordPress' and 'Movable Type', but I really have no idea how to do anything on either of them! Basically, I need a step by step process of how to set up the blog, and integrate with my site. By that I mean, make it an actual page ON my site, not a page outside of my site. Keep it mind, I have no idea what CSS, or RSS means. Last but certainly not least, I installed 'Wordpress' onto my computer, and opened it as a zip file. After doing that, I extracted the files. According to Blogging for Dummies, I'm suppose to save the flie as something or other, but I don't even know how to do that! Please help!
