guide to making a website for the technical dunce

i finally persuaded my dad to get a domain name for me - http://www.laurasclipperdiaries.com/ after i convinced him i could use a free web host. i tried out free hosta, as it was the only one i remembered from previous noodling on the web (note; catchy names really DO work), but something went wrong (the curse of the apple strikes again). so i have now joined agile host, which looks very business-like. i am gonna get a really awesome flash website and intro from http://www.flashmo.com/.

Guide to Making a Website for the Technical Dunce:

sooooo, if you are thinking about making your own website for any reason, just a simple no. of steps.

1) get a domain name from eg. godaddy (mine is costing $9.99 per year) you can get a free on like on this blog, and do some fancy finger work with it (not that i know ANYTHING about it) and get http://www.something.blogger.com/ for free.

2) find a web host (free or otherwise. the catch with free ones is they usually put annoying pop-ups on the site to make money. i will tell you is they get too annoying)

3) sometimes the web host will have a selection of free templates for your page, but you can change this by entering your own html text or downloading pages from flashmo or something,

4) you can make your own logo for free by using ready made images and other stuff for at http://www.logoease.com/

right now i am doing work experience in an advertising agency in Singapore - Ogilvy. i just got to sit in on a meeting with all the creative directors churning up ideas into a froth of magic ice-cream and over sized glue. according to a friend who also did work here, one of these women is actually a man. now i am not very perceptive of these things so i am just wary of anyone wearing a miniskirt and giraffe eyelashes (which is almost everyone. one thing about the creative department is that they are not afraid of making a statement, even if all they are saying is "i wish i could afford more clothes")

i am not usually so mean, but i can't seem to control what my hands are doing, i keep getting woken up an hour too early by my alarm clock, reminiscent of a toy you would get free at McD's.
