It is not going to be easy. You have a "paint by number" web page that
consistently says "
"I'm shannon <snipped by Fred >, and I'm starting a business on the
Internet."

You need to rethink you market strategy. Today's Internet consumer is
looking for something substantial, something inviting, something
established, cutting edge. IMHO you haven't any of those characteristics
going for the web page. Image is everything. If you are sincerely desiring
to harness online sales then, perhaps you may want to consider hiring out
the web work to someone that is more experienced in web architecture for
secure transactions and that understands both the target consumer and the
major search engines. In other words, you need to invest the $3.07 you have
earned so far and put it back into your business, and then come up with a
bit more.

Good Luck Shannon
Fred

Hi Shannon,

Fred is very right. Here are my personal suggestions (in brevity):

* Buy your own domain name. Ensure it contains no numbers and sounds
professional by all means. Cost: about $10; hat tip: GoDaddy.

* Make use of Open Source content management systems (CMS) such as Mambo
Server, Plone, Drupal, or even WordPress. Install and get familiar with the
CMS. Cost: 0.

* Create a small number of pages which get across a few messages and reflect
on yourself as a trustworthy professional. Blogs are not truly encouraged at
the early stages, unless you expect your audience to be familiar with
syndication or comprise of bloggers.

Good luck,

Roy

PS - Blogspot has earned its bad reputation as a home for spam, scams, and
crooks. Blogs on that domain are taken with a whole barrel of salt.

How can you be established and cutting edge?

I am trying to figure out what the heck she is selling online and what type
of business as I see nothing. She can delete the other postings very easily
so it is ALWAYS going to say "Hi I am Shannon, etc" if she deletes them and
starts over.

Little typo

I didn't want to say that but I'm glad someone's not afraid to " call'em as
you see'em ".

Thanks for the laugh Stacey

Hi Mark,

Find out if your Web host provides MySQL databases (or any type of database
at all). Are you hosting your site on a personal server? If so, find out if
a graphical front-end enables you to instantiate databases. If not, you
might need to set up shell access and do so the 'hard way'. Consider asking
the host to do this for you, even if it costs. It's a 1-minute job.

I have about 9 databases on my main domain and I learned that good Web-based
software needs databases (as opposed to text files), so it's a skill worth
acquiring. It's only daunting and perplexing the first time.

Best wishes,

Roy
