Creating A Website

There are a lot to learn about this topic of create my own webpage: so many angles you can take, so many different opinions. To get a complete picture, read this article. Read on…

I recently signed up for myspace so that I could create my own webpage. I thought it would be fun to have my own personal space to keep track of daily happenings by means of a blog, store and display favorite pictures and maybe even meet some new friends in cyberspace. I thought it would be a great way to keep in touch with friends back in Toronto, to keep them abreast of happenings here in Winnipeg, and to let them keep an eye on our kids as they grow and adapt to life in the Peg.

However, I quickly got frustrated after only a couple of meager attempts to create my own webpage with myspace. I don’t know what I was expecting – I guess I wanted the computer to somehow know my information and preferences without me having to key it all in. So yes, I chalk it up to being pretty darn lazy. I did manage to halfway complete my profile. However, I find that when I’m put on the spot to produce content, I always think of really lame interests, hobbies and favorites, and then I’m left kicking myself when I come across as a loser, a poser or even worse, just plain dull!

If you have completely read through the first half of this article about create my own webpage, the second part will be a snap to understand.

I think the secret to success when I sit down to create my own webpage will be to plan it all out on paper before I sit down to key it in. And yes, that takes forethought and planning and I seem to be sorely lacking in those two particular departments.

I did have a personal blog page for a while. I liked this approach. I’m pretty good at blathering on about this, that and the next thing. Now here was a way to kill two birds with one stone – I’d found my creative outlet AND I would in the process create my own webpage. Unfortunately, the novelty wore off pretty quickly with that too and I ended up with an abandoned blog page with a mere handful of entries.

I don’t know why the idea of having a webpage appeals to me so much. It’s really just another responsibility to hang over my head along with all the others. Perhaps when I can dictate my own webpage just using my voice, I will be more inclined to make a go of it. Until then, I’m stuck with a lame, boring profile page, and empty friends list and what was that url again…???

If you could take the main ideas from this article about create my own webpage and put them into a list, you would a great overview of what we have learned.

If knowledge is power, then after you have finished this article, you will be feel knowledgable when this subject of 404 error message is brought up in casual conversation.

Anyone who uses a computer on a regular basis has been faced with a 404 error message. This aggravating little obstacle to our research or fun-search endeavors can be a bit of an annoyance for most of us. The 404 error message commonly appears when we request a URL that the server does not have.

For some reason, the server chooses to simply flash a 404 error message rather than providing us with the information that we need. All we know from the information provided is that the page has not been found. This is usually a default message that most Web servers return when someone requests a URL that the server does not have. This is not to suggest that the URL does not exist.

As we take the journey through the final part of this article on 404 error message, you can look back at the first part if you need any clarifications on what we have already learned.

The 404 error message is in violation to basic rules for error messages in general, according to some of its critics. The critics suggest that the 404 error message needs to be written in laymans terms so anyone who reads it understands exactly what has happened. Every time I have gotten one, I immediately thought that I made a mistake.

Of course, the first thing we do when we make a mistake is re-enter the information just to be faced with another 404 error message. We may try again and again until we reach the number of entering the same information over and over again that makes us realize that it may not be entirely our fault.

Unfortunately, we usually check one more time just to be sure. The next step is to blame our source of information. We double-check our source to make sure that we were given the right URL only to see that we were right. Filled with self-doubt, we go right back on to the server and enter the same URL again just to find a 404 error message staring right back at us.

We do all of this simply because the server broke a very important rule. They need to make the error message clear as day for anyone using the server, not just the technically-savvy individuals who know not to waste time entering and re-entering the same URL over and over again.

Sometimes it is the users fault but there is no way of knowing this through the 404 error message. The second rule the servers break is not specifying what the user has done wrong. The vague information usually leaves the server confused and frustrated. It is aggravating when you know that there is something wrong but you dont know what it is.

Here are a few basics of what this broad subject of creating a website has to offer up to any individual who wants to know more about it.

My brother’s wife is creating a website and she has asked me to come to her house to show her through the procedure. She is very aggravated by the process and she seems very baffled and frustrated. I agreed to give her a hand, but I truly do not know that much about creating a website myself. I was thrilled that she thought that I did know how to create a webpage, but I was not sure why she thought that I had experience with it.

I came to the abrupt realization that my sister in law is under the impression that I am competent at creating a website because she has visited my blog. I think that she is confusing blogs with websites. I may know how to set up a blog but this does not qualify me to tutor someone on creating a webpage. I have come to the realization that many people do not understand the difference between a blog and a webpage.

As you continue to read this article about creating a website, pay attention to how they relate to one another.

I am not sure if I understand the difference between creating a blog and creating a website, but I’m going to give it a shot. Actually I have trouble describing the difference between a blog and a website. A blog is a kind of online journal. The person who creates the blog posts short articles, pictures and various entries to give the blog some depth. There is little work in creating a blog. Blogs are free and very user friendly and I am quite comfortable with the layout.

I picture that there is significantly more work involved in creating a website. After all, there are professionals who work full time in the field of web design. I did propose that my sister-in-law should use a service like Bravenet in her attempts at creating a website. Bravenet has everything a lay person needs to get started and it has a lot of information and technical support. I am going to walk her through the steps as they are presented by Bravenet and see if we can work together in creating a website.

If all goes well, I may even produce a website of my own. For now, I am going to stick to blogging. Like I said, blogs are user-friendly and they are free. I really do not need anything else right now. In the future, I may call my sister-in-law to see if she can help me when I try my hand at creating a website on my own. Hopefully, she will get me moving in the right path.
