Thank you so much for the info above Shellye. It was a great help with getting my contact form created. I had copied the code for the rate calculator but because I couldn't see it, I thought I did it wrong.

I signed up for xheader but didn't get the confirm email until today so I'll have to work on my header tonight.

I had some issues getting my photo to load but finally got that figured that out too except ... it's way too large so hopefully you can help me with that.

If I publish the site, won't that make it so everyone can see it? What if it's not final yet? Can you unpublish it again then republish?

Can we talk at 7:30pm CT tonight? If so, please PM me your phone number and I'll call you.

Thanks bunches!

Hi Sandy!! 7:30pm will be fine. Phone number is on the way. Glad I was able to help with most of your questions!! I can't wait to see your site.

To answer your current question, you can publish and unpublish and make changes as often as you like!! That's another benefit to using Doteasy! As long as you don't announce your site, you should be fine.

With regard to photos, resize them prior to uploading them. This should help. I've never used Xheader so I'm curious to see how it works. If you don't like it, know that I've created my own headers using Photoshop when I wanted to create a personalized site and they seem to work just fine.

P.S. You know another cool thing about Doteasy? You can go and change the template whenever you like for a fresh new look to your website without losing your content. You may lose pictures, but your text remains the same!!!

It sounds like doteasy is a great place to use. I've been wondering how I was going to create a website without web creation software. You say doteasy has the software to do this so I'm anxious to check them out.

Can anyone else out there tell me if other web hosting places have a way you can create your site?

The doteasy website is fairly easy to use. I created a webpage a few years back with frontpage and that was all HTML stuff and it would take me a while to figure that out again.

I needed a website and I needed it now. You can check out my website and see if you like it. It was not difficult to create (with Shelly's help) and I would be happy to help you along.

doteasy.com is reasonably priced also.

Good luck!

You will be happy to know that just today, doteasy posted a $5.95 winter sale for domain name registration and $0 hosting! I'm going to purchase and build another site for a friend this week!
