RE: Working on my new domain - what would YOU like to see?

[JemJen24]

 
Ok folks, I" m getting serious about this...
 
 I just purchased my own domain name and am creating my new website.
 
 I d like your feedback on things you d like to see (informational, etc).
 
 Here s the link....I just started, so be gentle...LOL
 
 www.texascamper.com

I think it would be convenient and helpful to include links for things like the Texas SP or DNR web sites (including links to reservation sites, if any), and if there is a web site for a Texas campground owners association, a link to that would be helpful.
 
 Looks like a good start.

What I d like to know is, why is the little camper rocking around in the link to your trips???!!! []  What IS going on in there??!! [][][]  
 I m only kidding, I like it - certainely more than I could attempt.  Austin s right - links to the SP s, etc would be great!  I also think under " helpful and useful links"  should be Pop-up Times!!  [][]

(laughs...figures...I get the site done...and find Microsoft FRONT PAGE on sale for less than 100 bucks. Naturally, I HAD to buy it and now am REWORKING the front page.  That s why you re getting error messages....
 
 STAY TUNED...
 
 Fixing it....hope to have at least the first page done tonight...whew

I couldn t use Front Page even though I have it.  I don t know how to use it yet.  But I use Cool Page which is incredably easy with a drag and drop format.  So far my site has just used the free version, on which I will upgrade to the full pro version soon.  Check mine out and let me know what you think.  As soon as I get the pro version downloaded the stupid little pop up thingys will quit.  My whole site was created using Cool Page and Paint Shop Pro 7.
 
 For anyone who wants to make their own site not using the site templates I recommend this program.  It is way to easy and good for us HTML challenged people.
 
 I m looking forward to your new site.

 JemJen24
Ok...the new FRONTPAGE site is up!!!! NOWWWWW lemme know what you think!!!
 
 Starcraft dad....I likeyou re site...I am SLOWLY getting a hang of this Frontpage.  Luckily I am an avid Word and Excel user which REALLY helps!

Jen,
 
 You re rocking!!!![][8D] (I don t mean the trailer either.)
 
 Now, where did you find the " Front Page"  so cheap???

[Tim5055]

 JemJen24
JemJen24,
 
 Glad to see you went with FrontPage.  As another who uses Word and Excel, FP seemed easy.  A little hint, learn to use " Includes"  now before you get a lot of pages.  If you look at any of my pages, the banner, left table of contents and the bottom footer are all individual " included"  pages.  Using an include in FP allows you to change a single page and display the information on multiple pages.  I learned it too late, I already had about 25 pages and had to chenge them all.
 
 It s looking good!  Don t try to do too much too soon.  Just slowly add pages and you will be amazed how quickly it comes together.
 
 Additionally, I see you are having the same FrontPage problems with counters I did.  I finally gave up on the counter for my home page and went with a web based counter.
 
 

[JemJen24]

 JemJen24
OMG Tim, YESSSSS, I can not get a dang counter inserted to save my life!
 
 I got a free one, have the html, but can t seem to get it to work correctly.
 
 How do I insert a counter using HTML coding?  Is there an easier way?  I went into the HTML portion of my Index page, manualy inserted it there, but it just gave me a box with allt he html gibberish in it.
 
 Any suggestions?  Who s are you using?
 
 J.
 
 PS>...that rockin  camper is gettin  a lot of attention! LOL

Jen, I was wondering about your database page.  When you click on the pics is it suppose to open into a larger version of that pic.  I clicked on a few and  they were opening to other pics than the one posted.

[Tim5055]

 JemJen24
Don t try to type on the raw HTML tab until you begin to get very comfortable with HTML.
 
 Put the cursor where you want the counter, then on the " Insert"  drop down menu at the top go to " Advanced"  then " HTML"   It will then open a box to put the HTML for the counter.
