how to begin

                    This is for those who have a penchant for having their own website. Enthused they initially begin only to realize that the inner bricks and mortar are different. Should they succeed they are on a high until they realize that their web presence goes unnoticed and something sophisticated like search engine optimization is required. S/He comes across several help topics that begin to end shortly telling how to pay for their services. It can be frustrating like, "Figure it out. Work a lifetime to pay off a house. You finally own it and there's no one to live in it." Arthur Miller: Death of a Salesman

               For the undeterred optimist who wants to share her/his expertise or professional know-how let us make the task undoubting with genuine guidance.

"Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked in his moccasins for two weeks."
Unknown (often attributed to Sioux Indian prayer).

               I am qualified to talk about "How to begin your website?" because I have lost 3 websites and the fourth, which I own I cannot access myself. Let us realize that making a web site may appear easy just as making a movie may appear cool when you watch and comment upon it. Do I have to tell you that making a movie is tough and making a blockbuster is not every man's cup of tea?

"God gives the nuts, but he doesn't crack them."
Unknown (German proverb)

The FIRST STEP is to ensure that you do not shoot at your own foot. To safe guard yourself from incurring loss in terms of your valuable time, money, and energy start with a blog. You can own a blog, which serves the same purpose as your own website without having to pay for it.
In fact, you earn can money from your blog while learning the tricks of the trade and sensing the tricksters and scamsters in the web world.

"I know the world isn't fair, but why isn't it ever unfair in my favor?"
Bill Watterson: Calvin and Hobbes

Where do I find a blog?
Too many choices kill time and drain energy. Have a look at myspace.com, wordpress.com, and blogspot.com. Chose any one.

Let us begin with Google's blogspot.com. You can choose a name that you would like your web site to have. Example: doctorcalvin.blogspot.com. In one minute, you have entered World Wide Web with the safety and free tools of Google. As you bask in the cool comfort,

you take up the three aspects of website:
