Grand Opening of My New Website!

In a real life gallery, during these first few days there'd be drinks at the back of the room, good company and something to nibble on while you look at the photographs. Some you would like, others not, but I'd hope you were never bored. I'm not selling anything, so you wouldn't feel pressured.

In the e-world, I can only ask you to imagine a comfortable room, your favourite drink and an agreeable group while you browse around the site. Some images you may like, others not, but I still hope you aren't bored. And I'm not selling anything here either. If I can do something to make your stay more comfortable, please let me know.

I'd very much appreciate it if you sign the Guestbook on the way out!

I was wondering if you could answer a question in regards to setting up your website as I am thinking about moving my website to a deluxe website here at BP. What software do you use or how is it that you set it up exactly?

I really appreciate your time and input. Thank you so much..

Michele

Hi Michele,
Thanks for your interest in BP's Deluxe Sites. It's really easy to get things set up ... no special software needed at all. Here's a link to the main Deluxe Web Site page:

Thank you for your links. However, I have already been to both those links, spoken with Amy with the first set of questions I had about it that weren't on the Q&A and now my question is, how do you set it up. I want a little bit of a basic detail on how its done to see if its something I want to do now or wait a while since I just finished re-doing my regular website, but there are some things that I really like about BP's websites... If it is really times consuming or going to take some learning, etc, then I might wait, but if its easy for me to do, then I might go for it now. Is there a page that explains how you put your website together once its all set up that I can look at?

Thank you,
Michele

Michele: The BP sebsite is a snap to set up, and no particular software is necessary. I've used a little HTML on mine, but it isn't necessary if you go with the basic fonts and formatting. BP sends complete instructions as soon as your domain name is registered, and the pages are set up and ready for you by then. You make your choices (easy) and you control everything else from an administration site. There's no learning to do, just a little figuring out here and there. Feel free to e-mail me if this doesn't answer your question or if you need help!

Cyndee: Sorry about the loading times for my pictures; maybe you hit a slow time on the BP server -- it happens sometimes. The pictures I send to the website are exactly the same size as for the premium gallery or on the contest pages -- somewhere around 950K.
