Ok so at the moment I don’t have a web site up, out of my frustration I deleted it, did not matter since no one could see it and the company that was hosting it was of no help. Seems I had an extra blank page at the beginning so that’s all anyone saw. So now I am on the hunt for a new host, who does everyone use and more important is it easy for us non computer geeks. Help!!!!!

Hi Dawn, I don't want to advertise on this forum - don't know if that's ethical or not, but I use a website that has my own URL, many options for non-geeks, and you can update as often as you like with a menu. Includes a blog and pay pal. I use an upscale version for $28/month. However, you can signup for a trial version for 2 months free.

If you're interested, you'll need to email me so we can talk off this forum.  lori@woodwardsimons.com

I use the same source as Lori and am quite happy with it.  They're always very helpful.

WOW, I wanted more freedom on how it looked and what I included but I think I had better take another look. Thanks All

I will putting one together with the same host as Lori, Ciint and Daniel - their web packages look awesome! I am anxiously awaiting my new software and will be getting a newer computer (couldn’t afford a brand new computer, but I am getting a used one from my workplace at a great price) in a few weeks. and then I can put my website together. Thanks for the recommendation - I appreciate it as much as you Dawn!

One question - will I be able to link my current blog from blogspot to the new website or will I have to start another one?

Barbara, yes, there is a way to add links to your blogs and you can also post a links page. If you get stuck, there's a support team.

You can also link your existing blog to you website - but you know that already Big Smile

Well I ended up trying another company, It came down to money, I may regret it but... One of the reasons I went with the company I did was because they had an “easy site builder” well not really, LOL so I just revamped my old one and uploaded it, now I have to re- do the whole thing but at least I have one up and running. I have a program I bought that allows me to build a site without having to know code and such. I do like the freedom and creativity I have but I hate the time I have to spend on it. I updated my web site address but it has not shown up on my signature just yet. If anyone cares to take a look its www.dawnmelkafineart.com any feedback would be welcomed. Remember it was done in a hurry and needs work
