Hi, Lisa ..

I'd have to think that the easiest way for an RSS 'newbie' to start utilizing RSS is via weblog (blog).

http://Blogger.com is free ... and very easy to set up and manage.

I'm sure the RSS Pros will follow up with better ideas ... but the aformentioned will work for you.

Regards,

I agree. You can see a good example (using Blogger.com) here: http://www.MikeLitman.com/archives/

What do you use to manage your mailing list?

Before starting with blogging and rss you might want to get the graphics working on your site. Yahoo has a really good instruction site for RSS.

I just hate it when Jeanie's right...!

So, can you help me with the java problem? If I need a new page for each image, won't that look awful in my index? Well, at least I'm trying!

Lynn ~ You mean I can manage my mailing list? :lol:

You suggested a free one in another discussion... It's past 11 here, and I was up WAY too early to be any brighter right now. You wanna just hit me over the head and give me the steps I need to take to get my site working? Please, Lynn - with sugar on top?

Love you guys,
~~L

Hi Lisa,

For newsletter, or mailing list management, options - you may want to see this current discussion: http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/f ... php?t=3470 . I use Aweber ($20/mo), but they offered some great free and inexpensive solutions in that thread.

The images on your site are pointing to your hard drive. Since we cant view your hard drive, we cant see your images. For example, the URL of one of the images on your main page is:

file:///C:/Lisa's%20files/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Home%20%26%20Garden%20Party/cover.jpg

This image, cover.jpg, needs to be on your server (uploaded to your IBF account). Check out this section of the IBF tutorial:

:idea:

Tip: When working with website files, dont use spaces or caps. All lower case, and hyphens instead of spaces, are the standard.

If I were a poet, I'd write an ode to Lynn to recount her helpfulness.
I offer my humble thanks and praise, instead.
