creating a free web site
everybody wants to save money in everyway they can. its no different when creating a presence on the internet. and you can actually get a web site up and running for free. as in less than a beer!
first, you’d need an e-mail address. you can get one for free over at yahoo! mail. there’s google mail also. its by invitation so you’d have to ask a friend of a friend of a friend to send you an invite. or you can sign up for gmail account using your mobile phone.
next is the web site. there are a handful of free web hosting providers out there. some will usually give you free web space in exchange for placing advertisements on your site. you can also consider creating a web log (or blog) as a web site. a blog is usually simpler to setup and use.
as always, there are the pluses and the minuses. you have to learn a handful of html tags to make a simple web page and create stylesheets. you would also have to take time out to learn basic image editing and to use the tools provided for by the web hosting provider.
and since everything is free, you would have to do everything yourself and you can’t really complain that much if something does goes wrong. but if something does goes south the web hosting provider usually provides support pages that walk you through problems or sometimes you can join a forum in the provider’s site where you can ask support questions.
adding a few bells and whistles to your free site is should be easy because the host usually provides a handful of things to add a little spice to your web pages.
next is to submit your web page address to the search engines. the top two are google and yahoo! it will not get listed right away but it will eventually.
