What is the point of this site ?
First, I bought
my very own web domain from Network solutions, via my first web host. It takes about
24-48 hours for the domain name to be arranged and for the servers across the
world to recognise it. Registering a domain name costs in the
range of £3 to £25 per year.
Calrissian.com is currently hosted (as at July 2006) by American company
DWHS
- they are my third host.
Most hosting companies offer a
wide range of host options. Unlike a free host, there are no forced adverts on
the site, everything on the site is for me to create.
Web page creation is made using MS FrontPage. There seem to be many page makers
out there, yet FP seemed like an easy way to
start learning and get a basic website up. One further good aspect is that there
is an absolute mass of backup support sites for FP, - see
Net
links.
For quality hosting....I recommend
also worth considering are...
Is it easy to make a site ?
Yes, very easy.
It takes just a few hours to work out how to
create a few linked pages, and arrange the uploading of pages to the chosen web
host. Once you've made your first few pages, the rest will follow quite easily. There
is always some kind of new feature to add, and within 3-6 months your
design skills
will have grown enormously.

What is the point of this site ?
Primary aim : A means for people to
contact me, and to keep in contact with the many people I know across the world. There
is no more secure way of keeping in contact with people, than via your
own personal website. Phone numbers change, addresses change, but a decent
website (should) last a lifetime.
Secondary : My means of building new contacts, via my forums, and my regular
web news/links section.
I also want to get some basic understanding of web
page design in the WYSIWYG manner. I am not looking to design via the HTML way -
I never liked programming and probably never will. Hopefully my design skills will
continue to improve over the next few years :)
