wahm.com has lots of different work from home sites on it, many of them web developer based.  I am going to try that while I am finding a web design job.

Netridge has the right of it there.  But spammers are very persistent and clever, I don't know how they do it but I get spam once in a while in email boxes I almost never use.  I guess it depends on the sites you sign up for though.

I'd like to know too, those photos are beautiful!

I really like pspad a lot for coding.  It's simple but it's free and it's a lot nicer than the old notebook way of coding.  I also use dreamweaver at times.  I just recently heard that microsoft has a program that is free to students and compatible with most other site builders called Expression Web, I haven't used it yet, but it would be interesting to see. A lot of great info above, I am going to check it all out.

I didn't want to use XP when it came out.  But it was all the came with the computer I bought a few years ago.  I like it now.  I think the main problem with Vista is that they didn't work out a lot of the bugs before going live, and like mentioned above it isn't compatible with a lot of stuff.  From what my friends have Vista would be great had it been all sorted first.  I just get sick of them changing everything completely every couple of years.  I wish they would leave things a little similar at least.

Has this google had a lot of problems?  I had never heard any complaints on them before?  Are they just throwing out baseless accusations?

Hey, I'm a newbie here, but happy bday!  Have a lot of fun and be safe!

This is a free account you can get with google that enrolls you in their web crawler program plus offers other great web master tools.  It might be helpful to you.  If you haven't made a site map first, you will need to go to http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ and do that first before signing up on the google thing.

Honestly I haven't spent a whole lot of time in promotion.  I have a link on my paper information and on my email.  I did sign up for the google web master account thing that puts you in their web crawler.  A few years ago we spent some money on another site trying to promote, and with a lot of work our page finally it into the top ten of most crawlers, but we weren't getting any orders through the website.  It was still all coming from ebay.  So it just didn't seem worth it to me.  I have it now simply for people who want more information.

I agree with Danial.  The reason I go to most forums is only to find answers to trouble I run into with projects.  Most of the time I don't even bother to look and see if there are problems I can answer.  So if no one is answering the people who have questions they would leave.  Maybe a points program or incentive to answer(ers)

Do you still have to pay for the domain name or can you transfer a domain to it?
