HOW DO I START?

There are several avenues you can take to get your presence on the Internet. The first method I will duscuss is the same method I used when I initially started. In case you are wondering what it cost me to have a site like the one you are looking at, I will tell you... NOTHING.

Maybe I should clarify that last statement by saying it cost me nothing but my time. I have used Yahoo! and GeoCities as my web server host since the day I started and, though I have since moved to a professional business hosting service, I still use Yahoo as a mirror site.

Yahoo! not only provides free space for your web site, but gives you a multitude of additional utilities, such as an email address, community clubs and activities, a home page, an on-line calendar and abilities and access to do nearly anything you may wish to do on the internet. I know this sounds like an advertisement, but it really is a commendation.

In order to begin your journey into Yahoo!/GeoCities, you need simply to connect to yahoo.com and click on personalize this page or go to geocities.com and register as a new user, create a profile and then go from there. It really is very simple to begin. However, you must remember one thing. There is an endless opportunity of things to do on the internet. You can very easily get caught up in web site developement just as easy as you can surfing the web. It's very addictive. With that in mind, shall we continue?
