I'm not sure what you are asking NS to do.


The web page was constructed and I was instructed to save it in an AOL format
which I did. I was then to have it uploaded to my internet address. I think I
may need to subscribe to their hosting service in order to get my domain from
"under construction" to display my web pages.

What is AOL format? Web documents may adhere to a number of standards
for HTML, CSS, etc., but I've never thought of AOL as being involved.

They said to save it in a web format not as a Word document. I think I will
need to have someone create a web site for me and then pay them to host it.

Does AOL allow its members to have their own webpages? If so it should have
an easy way to create a webpage and then upload it to the web. Usually
these work on templates. They have places to add titles, add images, add
text - like your sales lists or whatever. So you don't have to know any
code. With a few hours of monkeying around and trying stuff you should be
able to make a credible web page. I'd hate to see you spend bucks on
something that is relatively easy to do. Don't be afraid of screwing up.
Get a tech support guy on the phone and make them help you and define terms.

Absolutely. It is easy to make a simple website. Any monkey
(myself included) can do it. It takes a bit more work to make things
fancy and have the dancing bears and singing hamsters, but I've never
liked the fancy stuff.

And, the good news is that the worst you can do is have your website
not look right. You aren't going to destroy the internet with a
mistake, or even inconvenience the other users on your hosting service.
You can make all the mistakes you want/need. Nobody will even know...
The other good news is that you can see how somebody else did it. Find
some pages you like, and use the little 'view source' menu item in your
browser to see the HTML code. So, if you like something, use it.

Good luck... Most tech support these days is explicitly designed to
decrease the number of people they help - it is cheaper to have half
your customers hang up after an hour on hold.
