Anyone Can Do It!

This past month I’ve dabbled back into web site building. Having learned HTML from the ground up, when the Internet was brand new, I’ve had my battle scars with web site building. For a few years I dropped out of the scene, as every kind of new language appeared and it became cumbersome to keep up. I was severely discouraged - until now.

Now there are so many free tools to help someone build a website that there is no excuse to not put one up – especially if you need one for business. Wordpress has become the hottest program out there for this adventure. 

If you are unsure about this, let me give you the best hand holding experience EVER! Tyler Moore specializes in teaching people how to create websites and you can watch the lessons on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jv47_VIBOQ.

Of course, it takes time and sometimes it’s frustrating when things don’t work right, but it is so much better than having to learn all of the programming. Tyler even puts his phone number on his video, so you can call him if you get stuck.

Another awesome thing I found are free graphics. Of course there are many sites that offer “free” graphics, but don’t really. It all has to do with copyright and royalties. Most graphic artists want you to pay for their graphics, if you are going to use them on a business page. Generally, personal pages and education related pages get a better deal than trying to find good graphics for business websites.

Dryicons.com offers free graphics with only the catch of putting in a word of who created the graphics on your page. That is a wonderful deal! Who wouldn’t want to give credit to someone who is so generously providing professional quality graphics?

GRsites.com offers free background images. They offer so many different ones; surely anyone could find something they like.

Take these tips and go out there and CREATE! Get your site up and share with the world the wonderful YOU.
