Announcing the launch of....
You may have seen the link in the upper right corner of my blog for a few days, but I didn't want to announce it officially until I had most of the bugs worked out. If you are ever building a website in Dreamweaver, don't ever, ever capitalize any of the html pages. One little "i" had me scratching my head for an entire day as to why it wasn't uploading. Rather than saving the page as index.html I had Index.html. Everything else I saved for the entire website was in lowercase...I must have had a tired moment.
A wonderful customer service representative at GoDaddy helped me figure out what was wrong. I read a lot of bad press on Go Daddy, but let me tell you, every time I've had to call them in the last two years they have always been helpful and worked with me to figure out my issues. They even went as far, after I had purchased their web hosting package a year ago, to notice when I called this week a feature that I never use, but had paid for. When they asked if I planned on using it and I answered, "no" they proactively refunded the fee for that service for the entire year! I've had another website up with them for almost a year and have not had any issues.
Overall I really enjoy working in Dreamweaver. I was intimidated by it for a while before I began using it a year ago, but it really is user friendly. The other website builders that I have attempted to use were so complicated and never turned out a webpage that I liked. I kept this one pretty basic with a little interactivity on the gallery page. I have stayed away from flash since I have read that search engines don't really like to index pages with flash and optimization is what we are all aiming for.
So, come and visit my website! I would appreciate any constructive criticism that you may have to help me make my website spectacular! There is one page titled, Quilt, that is link less. That is a project that I'm working on and hope to surprise you with early next year. I am so very excited about this project and can't wait to share, but a little detail is in the way .....I have to finish it!
