EASY 3 STEP WEBSITE

JUST 3 EASY STEPS and your very own, personal website will be up and running - and all for free!!
Er... yeah. Right.
Hence the recent Blog neglect.
Been working on a website for a music collective I'm involved in (it's only taken us 6 fucking years to get there) and being both skint and tight, we want free hosting. Well you would, wouldn't you?
And this one seems so bloody simple.
1. Create Account
2. Create Site and Upload
3. Promote it
The first bit wasn't too tricky. But of course, any obvious name you want for your site has already gone. So you need to be a bit creative. Except, of course, if you are us. 'Cos the name we want is available. It is nothing short of a fucking miracle!
Stage 2. Create a web site. Just like that! Not to worry that lots of people get paid lots of money to produce websites. You can do your own. Piece of piss. How difficult can it be? If you want it to look like a kids exercise book, that is.
As with anything that needs a little thought, you can produce a reasonable looking site. Might not be too flashy and have too many dancing lights and video streams on it, but it can be quite presentable. Just not in two days!
Hence the Blog neglect.
And what they don't tell you is that it can take as long to upload the bloody thing as it does to create it. 'Cos its free. And every other fucking skinflint, tight-arse, "look at my new website" clever bastard is trying to upload their brand new, award winning opus at the same fucking time as you! But we got there. And yes, like so many others., it is only half finished. But boy, are we proud of it.....
And so to the final step. Now call me thick, but I thought Google promoted it. Once it's there, everyone types in something relevant and up you pop at the top of the list.
Doh! Not quite that simple. Google isn't sitting there waiting for you especially so they can tell the world. After all, they do have one or two other sites to choose from.
So you gotta tell all your mates. Get them to tell their mates.
Oh, and it might help to have something mildly interesting when they get there.
Not many people want to see 450 pictures from your ski-ing holiday. No matter how good a bloody skier you are!
You can always add one of those counters to your site. Its not tricky - you just pinch it from somewhere. Then you know how many people have visited you. Or not. Which might prove a little depressing if you actually KNOW that not one single person has seen it.
ALMOST LIKE DOING A BLOG, REALLY!!

(Of course, you must have been expecting this bit. It kind of comes under step 3 - promotion.
