DIY website report

**R*@aol.com**

Hello List!

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and ideas regarding DIY  websites 
several weeks ago.  Adam and I ended up using  homstead.com and think it's a good 
deal.  Fees are reasonable: $20 set  up which was discounted to $10, $5 per 
month for the first three months and then  $10 per month afterwards.

So here's our new website to promote our book, Guide to the Great Gardens  of 
the Philadelphia Region:

_www.phillygardenguide.com_ (http://www.phillygardenguide.com) 

It went live this morning so drop us a note in the  guestbook with your 
comments.

A few pointers about Homestead:

You must register (including giving your phone number) to  start playing with 
the lite version of their design software.   They called me within ten 
minutes of registering but only to ask if I  needed any help.  Once we committed, we 
downloaded the complete software  and had a rough design within a few days.  
The software is a lot of  fun and the learning curve pretty minimal. Technical 
phone  support is attitude-free, unlimited for thirty days and with no  
significant waiting times.

Thanks again,
Rob Cardillo
