My wife is a computer programmer/systems administrator so she made my Kurt Suzuki website.

I did it, pretty easy. Has also helped me expand my collection.

I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. Just wondering if anyone has run into copyright problems by posting Getty shots or MLB TV screenshots?

There are probably cheaper alternatives, but this works for me.
Keep in mind they don't really offer any specials and they have no phone support.

They are currently running a special now that basically (if I sign up for 2 years) it's $5.02 per month, easy site builder tool w/ unlimited pages, ad free, premium themes, priority 24/7 customer support, my domain name, etc. That sounds manageable at $60 bucks a year for all that. It's "on sale" as we speak, too.

I don't know what it's called. Dewey used it for his too (below).

The only thing I didn't like about having my Domain thru GoDaddy was that I could only make it redirect to my webs page. So if you typed in my URL, it would just take you to my Webs home page. If I wanted to send you a link to one specific page of my site, I would need to copy and paste the Webs address and send. If you follow.

That makes sense - so basically doing it all through webs.com probably isn't a bad idea?

All this is extremely useful info, but I'm still confused about a couple things:

If I subscribe to this "enhanced" package on webs . com, does that include the dot com as well?

Also, are there advantages to using godaddy . com to register your domain name, and then having it moved to webs . com? I guess I'm trying to do the easiest option and also one that's cost-friendly.

And Greg (Otis) what theme are you using for your home page? I really like the layout a lot.

Mine is www.mywolverines.com

Domain name from GoDaddy and free hosting at weebly.com

Good luck.

Webs.com is easy!

Re: Building a dot com website to display your collection - how many of y'all have done this?

No problems with Webs.com

I wish I could have multiple album pages and layout for albums could use some tweaking...

Re: Building a dot com website to display your collection - how many of y'all have done this?

I started using webs.com and am having a difficult time getting anything built in there. Nothing will line up or do anything I want it to, also have a very limited option on themes and backgrounds. Been pulling my hair out for the past 2 hours. Wish I could go back to the days of Front Page.

Double P,

I used Webs.com to build my Alameda Sports Project website and if this html challenged collector can do it you should have no problem!
