I've done it at last.

Well I've just finished a building a very simple website.

I know nothing about site building at all so please don't expect bells and whistles. I chose the simplest template I could find.

I wondered what to call it, and struggled to find something apt.

There was no way I could rival Moose or Rogs Temple of steam. Much the opposite.

That was it. The opposite of a temple must be a shack.

So please pay a visit to Sandmans Steam Shack.

Remember it's a first effort and don't be too critical.

While your there please sign my guest book.

Its easy, just click on the join button at the bottom of every forum page and follow the directions to join.
Once you have joined you will get given some javascript code.
Now open another browser window and log into your website to make changes.
Open your homepage to edit it and add a paragraph at the bottom of the page.
Now look at the bottons above the text window for one that has this on it <>
Click this button and a window will open.
Now paste that code into this window and click ok.
Your new paragraph will still look blank but thats ok.
Click done on that paragraph and then done on your homepage and thats it.

You have joined but you haven't added the code to your webpage or not added it correctly.

It looks good Sandy! I tried to sign your guestbook but it wouldn't work for me. I'll try again later.

Looks great mate, well done
Manxman

Go for it Sandy. You're making me feel guilty and thinking that I should give this whole website thing a go again. I'm going to enjoy visiting your site. Thanks.

Super job Sandy!

I`ve visited 4 times now, still can`t find your guestbook.
Is it me?

It's on the far right of the navigation bar at the top Mate.

Thanks for all the kind comments folks.

I'll keep working on it to improve things as I go along.

For me it was on the left below the nav bar, light coloured on a white background, so look closely.
I am using firefox so if you are using firefox you may be suffering the same rendering bug I got

I've just checked it and the guestbook link has gone invisible (white text on white background) but if you move the mouse in the white just below the word 'Home' you should see a square light up, click on that to go to the guest book.


Oh and welcome to the webring Sandman.

Thanks, Tony!
Who`da thought it would be invisible? Hiding behind an invisible blue line, that you can`t see!
I guess that`s another Firefox Foible.

Thanks mate!

Nice one Sandy, a really good site you have there.

I wouldn't mind setting one up, but not sure how my limited computing skills would manage. Well maybe one day

I was actually writing a web page from scratch until Rog put me onto freewebs and with them as long as you are computer literate enough to work a word processor you can make a good looking website.

You don't need to worry about HTML as that is all done behind the scenes for you so they whole process is quiet simple now.
Give it a try.

Griffin, at www.freewebs.com they have things set up very logically...I had little trouble navigating when I did mine a little over a year ago. Much like using a word processor or even this forum...simple buttons to bold, italic and underline and relatively easy load up of photos and videos (or video links).

Price is right to try (free) and you don't have to make your handiwork known til you get the bugs out. I heartily encourage anyone to give website creation a try...it really has come a long way from the early days where you had to understand code like HTML. Now if you can type, you can make a website. (if you type slow, your progress will be slow...but still steady!!)

cheers,
Rog

Hmm, you make it sound easy Tony

When I find time, I think I will look into it.

Way to go Sandy!!. I couldn't find the guestbook, but the site is superb and well worth the visit. I'll let Roger and Odilon tip you to the side effects of your excellent effort, but let's just say... welcome to the "expert's circle"...LOL
