HOW TO HAVE A WEBSITE -- HOW TO WRITE
FOR IT (EASIER
THAN YOU THINK!)
By Anita
Sands Hernandez, astrology at earthlink dot net
We may not all
want a website but we all NEED ONE! Imagine a
place where you can attract publishers to your essays, short stories,
articles, or even chapters of a novel! Imagine a place where you put ARTICLES
that you found on the web on YOUR SPECIFIC INTEREST. Fishing, Breeding cows,
Cooking, Raising children. And some of your own articles also. You create a
classroom in cyberspace!
ONE cannot be too careful with selection of a
WEBHOST. Though only a DOLLAR A MONTH I HEAR, I also hear that GO DADDY
fines you 200$ if you go leftist or they don’t like the content, and they take
it right out of your account. Which they've already got a tentacle wrapped
around...So forget about them. NO CRITICIZING IMF, FED, OBAMA, THE NWO over at
GO DADDY ..so even if they’re free, stand away as they will take that money
right out of your bank without consulting you. NO FIGHTING RIGHTS on the issue!
Just Phhhhhhht!
Now if you want to do your COTTAGE INDUSTRY, my
specialty…my main theme of writing --- you can do it at GO DADDY for a buck as
your content is not edgy. THE INDEX PAGE listed below, at end has 'EASY DESIGN
OF WEBSITES FOR DUMMIES pages galore.
Imagine a stream of income coming in daily from some moonlighting
business, either merchandise or a service. The client pays you by PAYPAL or by
sending you a check in the mail.
But do try to use a WEB HOST that costs you
less than 5$ a month. FIND OUT who they are …on a LIST of the TOP TWENTY WEB HOSTING SERVICES. NOWADAYS
the WEB DOMAINE NAME IS FREE! The HOST arranges it!
NOW, CREATE YOUR WEB PAGES.You can use MICROSOFT WORD, in your OFFICE suite. Or
learn online using free website creation software that is on that website.Or
get your own box of used SOFTWARE from DAN THE MAN who can advise
you.
The one thing you must do when you write each single
webpage, each article is pay attention to META TEXT as that’s the description
of the subject you cover and required for search engines to find you. Hidden in
coding is my meta text on this page: How to do your own website. THEN, FTP the pages, one by one to
your website.
Once your website is up in CYBERSPACE. You
think, ‘how are they going to know I’m there? Well, cuz your articles
have META TEXTin the coding, saying what you are talking/writing about.
And with this magical META TEXT you can attract readers for your specific
content. Then, by putting up ads you CONTROL the flow of visitors and attract
audiences & customers to your INTERNET business. So learn to place
simple ads at CRAIGS
LIST.
THE MAGIC OF CRAIGS LIST - It’s INTERNATIONAL! EVERY CITY IN THE WORLD is at CRAIG NEWMARK’s GREAT SITE! I put up READER-ATTRACTING ads for free at CRAIGS LIST in just the top population cities: NYC, L.A. Denver, Seattle, Houston Boston and Philly, London and Paris.
ONE
BUSINESS CAN USE MANY of CRAIG’S “AREAS” YOU TARGET AREA you want. Students? Jobseekers?
CRAIGS
LIST ADS invite folks to study at your
precise pages. Your hand chosen articles. Say you want to stress your WEBINARS,
like me, you’d do an ad for “THE FREE WEALTH 101 ONLINE SEMINAR”
Or I put ad in “TALENT” section and invite actors /directors/ writer to
visit the HOLLYWOOD
BOUND website. Or I put the ad at the SOCIAL GROUPS section and invite
young singles to SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE SOCIETY TRANSFORMING GROUPS, ONLINE. Invite
them; teach them to give PARTIES there in their town. I also invite young
ladies at the TALENT SECTION (beauties all,) to sidestep show biz and study a
free seminar on HOW TO MARRY WELL
Then, to do CHARITIES
like this VULTURE
SANDWICH one, with hubby’s Money.
Those are my wares. Free Seminars,
CAPITALISM. The people who answer those ads and take the seminars want to meet
me and they become astrology clients. (That’s what I do for a living.)
Imagine that you right now, from your
desk, can leave INFO-tracks on history. You can teach the wisdom that comes
your way. Pass it on. Imagine that you can
leave a personalized record of what you know, learned ---to your kids, or if as
they say, a prophet is never a prophet in his own land, then pass it on to the
KIDS OF THE PLANET, all via one easy to access place: Your 5$ a month
website.
We don't want to take in more than we pass
on or let out. That is called being
constipated. We aspire to be veritable sieves. We want to be collectors
of wisdom so we can gift it to the needy or the next generation or our friends,
kids, readers! We want to make it accessible to publishers, gift an incredible
cache of information to Cyberspace! And a personal website is the way to do it.
Some
servers (earthlink.net is one,) will give you freebie websites. Earthlink gives up to eleven
websites for free, you pay for the server, meaning I pay to become astrology at
earthlink dot net and the websites are free. I’m talking about ten million bytes each and for free. That's about a thousand pages in each one, and make that
eleven times a thousand! No need to buy a domain name and create MY INFO DOT
COM. And nothing as skuzzy as that MYSPACE concept where all the pervs go to
pick up babies.
Stay
away from YAHOO pages. Even I AFTER 12 years online can’t figure out how to use
YAHOO clubs & websites. They’re impossible. Enrollment rigmarole up the
wazoo. Ads galore. Hey, that kinda stuff isn’t necessary! And you don’t have to
hype the site at GOOGLE or other Search engines because you are going to share
the URLS to your pages with potential readers via CRAIGS LIST ads. CRAIGS LIST
will not let you write out an URL with www.s but
when you create your PORTAL PAGE at the EARTHLINK.NET websites you run,
CRAIGS LETS THEM IN! CANNOT SEE THEM as they do not haveWWW’sThey’re http://home.earthlink.net/~astrology/
like the first website I ever had, back in l995, which I still have!
CRAIGS
LIST attracts huge traffic. Thousands of
students or buyers or potential exporters see the ad. (That one, if you
want to click on it is the portal to one of the free seminars I give, EACH with
up to l00 different classrooms.) FOLKS will see the ad you write and USE IT AS
A PORTAL to get to your website, become fascinated with your seminars, articles
and STAY to buy whatever you’re selling. As you collect net pals, next step is
to create a send out, called a LIST, which is just a MULTI NAME/ ADDIE EMAIL
LETTER with an attachment, that new article that you are about to post at the
site. Or not an attachment, just give them the URL.
“LIST”
means your browser stores a buncha names so when you send it out, properly
BCC’ed nobody sees the names at the top. It just seems to be coming from you.
SO EASY. You just type in ‘CLIENTLIST” and 15 people get your email
instantly!
Don’t
send that ad to POOR PEOPLE. My ads at CRAIGS to get the unemployed interested
in ARTISANRY as
an EXPORT, typically AMERICAN
DESIGNS they crave in EUROPE …had me writing and sending seminars on
HOW TO DO IMPORT/ EXPORT only. There’s a LIST for those people I met online
interested in this and it has an Import2 list, Import 3 and each list has
15 names, and in a moment with one click 45 names go right into the email
INVISIBLY as you BCC them all. It’s all semi-automatic. I can send out an email
to a list offorty five select political leftists ferinstance, the PTA PARENTS
list, that’s what I call my leftist activism chums.
My
astrology clients are titled the PAID UP STARLIST (as I ask them to tip me
occasionally for the FREE, hourly, daily STAR POWER MAP OF THE
MONTH predictions. I have a personal chum / FRIEND LIST then there are the HOLISTIC KITTIE CAT AND OTHER
PETS/ a Cat health list. Not to forget
the LOVE list, for Beauties who want to marry Money ! And a few others I forget
right now, but the big SEMINAR
LIST is HERE.
How
do I sit at home, alone, far from the city of L.A. attracting new friends
daily? Well, say over the period of a year I PUT up a few dozen Craigs list
ads: maybe at the TALENT SECTION, I cull all the beauties in Detroit or Atlanta
with an ad saying “BEAUTIES, BEST JOB IN SHOW BUSINESS” When they enter the ad
they see “LEARN HOW TO MARY A BILLIONAIRE” four hundred girls answered my
CRAIGS LIST AD where I told them, “Hollywood is trouble, you get no respect.
With those looks, why don’t you learn to penetrate BLUE BLOOD HIGH
SOCIETY,MARRY a BILLIONAIRE, use his MONEY to DO AN OPRAH. . I keep a thousand
names in about 50 organized lists. At least 50 in each list. I BCC the list so
NO names are visible, and send it to myself. The recipients are used to seeing
neat articles with my name at the top. They open the thing and read it.
HOW
TO GET THE FRIENDS IN THE LISTS? Making
friends online is easy, write and publish articles all over cyberspace. This
week I’m working on one about KRAKATOA and how it blew in 535 and the
whole planet went dark for years on end. Tree rings show it. The DARK AGES
started. Fascinating theme. Just google search up those two terms, it’s really
wowie stuff. Ties in to an American CALDERA also. READ YELLOWSTONE which is the IDAHO ara caldera already blowing up! ABC
did a show on it. Search on that one as it’s beginning to boil now.
Those
who read this thriller write me saying ‘thank you’, I answer with an email and
another article maybe! That friendship will be lasting. It’s a tie between two
brains that recognize the other has something they want, which enriches. And
once they are on your new liast and they read your website on the subject, or
mine at least: FUTURE
DISASTERS, . You send them every article on that theme that you come
across.
Befriending
folks online may be slightly more complicated
than having a simple domain name URL and attracting thousands thru search
engines. In the former case, you are doing the relating, the friendship culling
and then the sharing, but when people see that you have info that’s useful,
they love you forever. Put ads on CRAIGS LIST (using many email addies .. read
HOW TO HAVE MULTIPLE
FREE ADDIES,) for interesting pages, I run the HOW TO MAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD
URL without spending big money, which teaches wannabes HOW TO DO ACTING CLASSES
FOR FREE and how to get HEADSHOTS for free, and how to get a THEATRICAL AGENT,
and teaches screenwriters how to break in....Those are the most intelligent
groups around and I love making friends in that group. THE LUCK IN LOVE PAGE targets beautiful girls and I place the ads at Craigs
list where there is a TALENT, SHOW BUSINESS JOB sections. Craigs is in l00
cities and bring readers who write to me and become friends. READ THE MULTIPLE
ARTICLE five lines up .. just quickly scan it so you can see how this is done.
For
instance, my political page (just
one at my site) is http://home.earthlink.net/~astrology/index2.htm
and on it are a dozen political reform oriented leftist liberal activist
type articles. Readers write me, “Anita, how
did you dare say all this? Aren’t you afraid of Bush getting after you for
criticizing him? Or my cat health article, how to avoid using a veterinarian,
how to cure your cat all alone by yourself --- it gets me letters from worried
cat owners with cat problems. They were obviously searching for cure and saw my
article listed on search engines. They try my tips and bingo, I’ve got a friend
for life, a gal on my cat list for the rest of time.
If once a day you read something stirring and switch it into text or html, that's not a lot of time. So let's forget about the TIME you will LOSE (you think) or WASTE doing this. Waste sure isn't the word I'd use. You read a lot of wonderful articles, we're talking about converting them to a file you can share. Just add a half hour to your reading time. Where does WASTE figure in that!?
First, The trick is to have great articles on your website. Sniff down stuff you like, google it, I love the art of writing mysteries. So I created a WRITERS’ website. If you can type, use spell check and write a big, long article on any subject culling research from GOOGLE. Then, POST IT on one's own website, doing the posting part in one minute flat. GET SOME GOOD VERSION OF MICROSOFT OFFICE FROM vendors of "ABANDONWARE." I USE DAN THE MAN. One of these vendors can function as a guru, can teach you stuff about HOW TO USE A GOOD WORDPROCESSOR and maybe you can find the specific, WP SOFTWARE FOR DUMMIES BOOK from 1997 at ABEBOOKS.COM Use this special mode of ordering to save money. BOOK SECRETS
1.) FTP is how one loads his/her website. It means "file transfer protocol." You must move some paper or article from your PC's hard drive c:\newage\my stuff.htm over to cyberspace, right? Cuz C:drive as you will recognize what that PATH is and means, is inside your machine. So like all things that go thru the birth process, we first get it out of the insides into the LIGHT OF DAY! No?
So learn to FTPin order to start writing for your website. Get a teacher to show you how to FTP. DOWNLOAD the software free online then call me on the phone,818-774-1939, I’ll walk you through it. FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL is something you can learn in seconds. So schedule the mastery of this in an hour lesson where you learn the other website writer's skills. HTML, SAVING NET material to cache to rewrite, Save as text, then format that text, cleaning off all net marks, which is done with A TEXT EDITOR!
http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/ is one that you can learn to use, download it free, also. They give it away! Just go to this site, download it. Start using it and get your teacher to show you these skills:
a)
Clean up text.Often the material for your best articles are in stuff
you write to a pal. This whole article was quilted out of letters to pals talking
to them about websites. That’s text, the language of emails. Well, I had to
save the letters, then edit them with a text editor. FIND A FREE, SHAREWARE
TEXT EDITOR ONLINE. TEST EVERY ONE YOU DOWNLOAD to make certain it has
the FIND/ REPLACE feature!!! The >>>s must come off! If someone
mailed you an article that you like and it is second hand, your email receives
it with>>>s to show it is second hand.
b) b.) Justify each paragraph of the text, ragged right margin. c.) Save by adding. netgleen.txt to the end the usual txt ending or EXTENSION they call it. In net lingo you create a file in ascertain mode and have to add DOC, TXT or HTM to the extension so you'll remember what it is later. No good FTP-ing a txt pc or a doc!
Then in a text editor you can work on meaning, amplifying, adding. Maybe it's something another writer thought up. Today Todd Gitlin, dean of activists in the 60's was on the tube on CSPAN book channel. I watched in horror as I had no pen on me to take notes! I can go to CSPAN radio and maybe find the show on my PC and listen to it. But his ideas were engraved in my head. Activists came out against wars, in Nam, in the Gulf, they were moved to huge activity for OTHER PEOPLE to benefit. Their souls are so pure. They forget to demonstrate against the things that destroy OUR LIVES daily like the BANKSTERS, THE FED and its endless taxes on us. Poor people cannot pay taxes, cannot pay huge licensing fees for 15 yr old cars needed to go to work, and cannot pay the huge insurance fees, a thousand a year, and old people who are unemployed and must walk to markets a mile away and carry l0 lbs of groceries need those cars and yet nobody demonstrates for the punitive nature of the state in relation to taxes and licensing. STUDENTS shouldn’t pay at parking meters around schools. No college has enough parking. I could go on and on. Well, ACTIVISM WEBSITES are how to fix that. TEACH people how to picket for what they need.
How
I work to create webpages is
1.) I read people in areas I admire:DAVID HOROWITZ is my new
favorite, an activist for change in the sixties who became a conservative after
the BLACK PANTHER LEADER murdered the bookkeeper he lent them for finding
embezzlement. Then I adore RALPH NADER though many of his books are dated
--Issues like LEMON CARS. Noam Chomsky is astute and definitely needs translation
for regular folks to ‘get’ his ideas. Michael Moore is easy to understand at
all times. He’s got the hang of talking to America.
2.) DIGEST their ideas. Now, you are going to create a
simpler text which you DISTILL from their chapters. I rewrite the ideas which
stuck in my memory. The new age concepts which when I heard them on CABLE, FM
RADIO or off the page of their 25$ books, which in the three weeks I had it out
of the library, sparked my brain to endless vision, to share that vision. I
write like ordinary folks, I figure ordinary folks can read me easily. AND NOT
for 25$. , no going to the library either…they get it fast and FREE!
3)
So from my notes, (if I had them,) I’d
do an email. That would be in simple text I do not use HTM in my EMAIL CLIENT
in BROWSER, NO WAY! The email goes to a list. What this gives me is all my
text, written fast when it was hot in my mind, with a copy I sent myself in my
EMAIL BROWSER
4.) Now I SAVE IT TO CACHE, save it to my C; DRIVE. I have 50 directories in there as I use a file manager, ZTREE. ACTIVISM, Astrology, BABIES. CATS, Gardening, Food, Frugal Living, on and on… I now use ZTREE to change it from text to HTM (hypertext) That might be done in WORD PROCESSING software making it a doc at least (which Word Perfect for Windows calls it, and Microsoft Word, found in OFFICE software, probably the most used word processor. That software turns the text into HTM, which is what Internet, runs on. BUT if I had found some great thinker’s HTM text online, I'd save it in text, not HTML as I DO NOT WANT THEIR ARTWORK, their formatting, etc. You know, how most WebPages are all shaped like a magazine page? I DO NOT WANT THAT. I just want the words, so I always highlight, cut paste, saving in text. I may mail it to myself once, in order to get it as plain text. THEN I may edit it in text before I turn that saved text into a doc or web ready html.
5.)
LISTEN to your people. Keep your
finger on their pulse. I have frequent correspondence with email clients. Folks
who tell you "I JUST GOT FIRED" as was the case with a client
yesterday. She was bereft.
When I actually write such people my thoughts, ideas get born, in the talking, in the composing, or in the phone call. I don't take notes but promptly when I finish I write those ideas down. Or if it's an email, I always keep a copy by MAILING THE EMAIL TO client in the TO: space on top of email but below change another TO: to BCC: for your own name and send copy to yourself.
6)
LET readers phone you. Make your phone # available. Often a phone consultation is something that makes you
really hone in on that PERSON then you will come up with brilliant ideas. I
FEEL the concept of a ZERO door where you stick pain is a good one.
Yesterday my pain was so intense that I wrote four articles on how to LOSE THE
BLUES and made one edition of my DAILY DISSENT newspaper all in the space
between breakfast and lunch. I do best writing right after coffee/toast and
before the whammy come down of lunch. After that, I am more mentally blurred cuz
I eat meat for lunch. Starches in morn are for that athletic race. That
energy burst. One pays for the up later I guess. NOTE: I heard a
holistic say we should eat protein for breakfast and lunch and grains/veggies
rest of time fruit between meals.
7.)
Learn to take writing in any software program, --- whether word perfect for DOS, which I adore for
astrology work as it collates many files fast or Microsoft WORD,
and turn it to text or html at the flick of a finger. FOR WRITING originals I
like Word Perfect for DOS vers 6.0, available for l0$ from Dan the Man who
collects vintage software. You can pull in other docs saved files, (as an
astrologer, I use it for paragraphs on stars, Legal Secretaries use it for
legal rap. WORD PERFECT FOR DOS. Ask him about it. You have easy access to the
massive index and one keystroke will pull in any file. It has quick scroll
features the other software programs do not, and with twenty or thirty bricks
build a fifty-page document and do it in two minutes flat! But I always have to
switch it into Word Perfect for Windows next, and finally into Microsoft word,
which I use, in office l997, in one PC Microsoft Office 2000 in another
pc...and turn it into HTM as the last stop on the road. That is the final shape
of my article. HTML is hypertext mode and is indicated by the file ending
written as “htm”. You can then ftp it to your website. Free FTP software (file transfer protocol) is available
all over the Internet. Do a google search in these keywords with a Plus between
them. Free, Download, FTP.
