Even a Neanderthal
could do this, babe. It's EASY!
We
may not all want to be our own webmaster and have our own website but we all
NEED ONE! And it’s easy. With no classes I COULD DO IT and I’m not a tekkie
at all. Imagine having a SPOT ON THE INTERNET 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!
If you have bigger career plans of
some kind , your WEBSITE is like an ONLINE AUDITION. HEYOKA ONLINE EZINE
was a LET ME create A NEW MAGAZINE AUDITION as far as I’m concerned. Some big
NEW YORK PUBLISHING ORG can immediately see that John Mc Kay, its’ founder was
up there with GLORIA STEINEM or Henry Luce. John passed on to that big Printing
Press in the sky so his thousand pages disappeared. He had no son to pay the
monthly WEB HOST BILL. which can be small, 5$ a month so I hope my kids
continue my sites when I leave. I have three free ones from EARTHLINK and 2
five buck ones
You
want your pals and list chums who are savvy to write pieces for your mag and
write for your site yourself.
IN
SPITE OF THE HOURS IT TAKES, ---A WEB SITE IS EASY. First think of a name for
your WEBSITE. Then find a domain name. Think of a cute, easy to remember one.
See if it’s available by clicking on it. Find a WEBHOST (here is a complete
manual on HOW that’s done. http://www.thesitewizard.com/gettingstarted/startwebsite.shtml
Or you can ask your WEBHOST if you
can have it, if it’s available. Here’s a webhost that actually answers all
correspondence.DRAK.NET used to be 3$
a month or you get three domain name/websites for 5$ a month. But the girls
that started it sold the thing to a guy and he doubled the prices. He’s also a
rude guy, compared to them. I complained to my 'TECKKIE LIST about abrupt rise
in prices and my chum quickly WROTE ME: Don't worry about DRAK turning to DREK
---I've heard good things about this one: http://www.aquariusstorage.com/affordable-web-hosting.php
At
AQUARIUS STORAGE you can put up to ten free domains on their least expensive
account. And with a name like AQUARIUS they have to be good...
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 DOMAIN NAME is sometimes 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 (FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL) the
pages, one by one to your website.
Once
your website is up and CHECKED OUT, and in CYBERSPACE. You think, ‘how are they
going to know I’m there? Well, cuz your articles have META TEXT in
the coding, saying what you are talking/writing about. AND WHAT PEOPLE want,
what they will GOOGLE SEARCH ON…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. Teaching I do so that I can
breathe and be happy.)
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 –so that’s NOT very big, but they are 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. If you google five dollar
webhosts, you will find them.
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 THE FAMOUS WWWWW THINGIE -- 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 have WWW’s They’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
STARLIST ( On their free daily predictions there’s one sentence, “TIP THE
STARGAZER” And some 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 area 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 MULTIPLEFREE
ADDIES,) for interesting pages, there’s the HOW TO MAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD without spending big money classroom
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 TRUTH
INDEX PAGE 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. Dan or one of these abandonware vendors
can function as a guru, can teach you stuff about HOW TO USE A GOOD
WORDPROCESSOR. Either Dan can supply or
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. USED
BOOKBUYING 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 FTP in order to
start writing for your website. Get a teacher to show you how
to FTP. A five minute lesson, maybe two minutes. DOWNLOAD the
software to FTP 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 that you already have on hand. 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 gal bookkeeper he lent them for finding
embezzlement. Then I adore RALPH NADER though many of his books are dated
--Issues like LEMON CARS. Sorry I bought it. 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.
8). COMB your
websites regularly for dead URLS. Many of my pages point you to a few dozen
articles that other folks wrote, which are online. Believe it or not, websites
DIE all the time. DEAD URLS show up regularly, like FLEAS. Use an URL ALIVE
VERIFIER. A VALIDATOR.
Google the word. Wiki did a page on the subject.
