Re: COMP: help - region 7 website

Thanks all,  for on and offlist comments.

Annette, thanks for reminding me of the Ky website - will try to contact
the webmaster and see if he/she might be willing to do the regional
website as well..

Kitty, this is the info I was asking for.  One of those questions where
I'm so ignorant, I'm not really sure what the questions are until I
start getting feedback.

I had agreed to do the webpages myself, <if> a clone of our local
website was acceptable. They said yes.   I don't have or currently have
time to learn skills to do anything more fancy.  Just Frontpage (?I
think that's the name..) software output.

But I don't know <anything> about publishing websites, so the big holdup
in starting has been finding a server and doing whatever mysterious
things have to be done.  And as someone prone to high anxiety, I want a
host that provides reliable "personal" help getting it published.

I could use my local ISP - local phone call for help, answered by "if
you want to talk to a technician, press 1; if you want to leave a
message, press 2" <g>

Does iPowerWeb provide good handholding for beginners? <g>

I probably have to wait till I've rebuilt my computer to do this, if
whatever ISP I wind up using uses a lot of javascript and cookies.  Plus
I need a host that supports Netscape - I refuse to use Gatesware.

<Do you or someone have the skills to design the web pages?  For Region
                   14, I evaluated several providers some years back,
used one free site (and
                   tolerated a bit of advertising), and then moved to a
low cost site by the
                   name of iPowerWeb.com.   They are $7.95 per month, NO
set up fee, it
                   INCLUDES a free domain name and set up, and gives me
3,000MB for hosting
                   pages and images.   That is $95.40 per year.   I've
had excellent service
                   for the years Region 14 has used them.   Some of my
college students
                   searched just last month for a site, and couldn't
find any better priced for
                   the amount of storage offered, at a one year rate.
