Online
Resources to Help you Build your Websites
The
great majority of website building information on the Internet gives you
only a very small portion of the information that you need - and then wants
to sell you something.
To some degree that is why the
webmaster
built this website and we believe this website offers more free
get-you-started advice than anywhere else on the Web.
But, there is so much to learn
that really no one website could get it all to you anyway.
Online
forums have helped the webmaster more than anything else. A place
where one could ask Newbie questions and hopefully, get them answered in a way
she could understand.
Places to hang out? Where
to go when you need questions answered and problems solved? Three places:
The
Working Nomad
Forum: Perfect for the Newbie, real "little"
people making a living with websites and all the problems they face.
Lots of helpful people, though even here answers to questions can get too
technical - even when they don't really need to be.
Digital Point
Forums - can get technical and over-your-head way
too fast - but often useful to find things you need to know.
A CAUTION about forums. Be
careful, weigh advice and realize that you never really know who the advice
is coming from. Are you taking the advice of a millionaire who has
made their fortune on the Web? Or perhaps from a Wannabe who hasn't
yet made a penny, but thinks they know it all? Fact is, you just don't
know as most people don't like to reveal their exact websites and exactly
what they do and how they are doing.
But, generally, if you hang around forums for a while you will come to know
the cast of characters - and who tends to give sound advice and who tends to
get too technical too quickly (baffle them with bullshit?).
