a) has anyone ever watched a full flash intro?
b) buy your own domain. don't do one of those long ass angelfire.name.or.blah.com/you sites.
and 3) that's all for now.

Question?

Are the above sites mentioned free and how easy are they to access for dummys like me on PC?

I do not want to pay for a A,um Web Site space as I already pay for the Chapter space.

Thanks, any help will be greatful! I am

thanks to everyone for your replies! they were very helpful. i'm going to work in dreamweaver and hope for the best

i've never heard of GoLive though; i was wondering if it's a newer program. i've got the creative suite and that's not included.

Tom, as I know you, and am familiar with your inability to even post a picture

, I'd suggest you stay far away from website design!

I have (usually because I'm developing it) and I know of several people who have. My UG chapter's intro is 2 minutes long with pictures of chapter members past from chartering to present. I tried to talk them out of an intro that long, but they wanted it to run for the entire song. I get e-mails all the time commenting on the intro, however, I don't recommend and intro that long.

I built ours years ago (it's still there--follow the link in my signature). I don't know any code--but I can figure out what it means if I'm looking at it. If our site is good enough for you--then you don't need anything fancy.

Consider the way that you download music. If you do so in a manner that's just South of legal, it's likely also possible to use that same method to search for Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage.

I used a number of hosts--the best, cheapest, and longest-lasting has been siteground.com. It has a powerful control panel if you're technologically inclined and still a decent one if you're not.

Cors, I like your site. Very easy to move around in it, not a bunch of "under construction", or "coming soon" junk, easily found and used menu. Nice.!

Thank you.

The only thing that is 'under construction' is the Calendar. It was becoming too irritating to make it by hand and our host offered a relatively nice automated one--but it has become the duty of the current webmaster to take care of that.

I'm fairly proud of this page:
http://www.gmupsk.org/localhistory.htm
It's not incredibly well-done, but it has a lot of information that many chapters should keep.

I just finished this one up yesterday:
http://oklahomasigmanu.com/

It's meant as an informative alumni/active site for news on all chapters.
Feedback is more then welcome and will be appreciated.

Also, if you don't see the links to the Oklahoma chapters scrolling at the top, you need to either install or enable Java on your browser
