Hi Lisa:

I just saw your note about helping with your son's scout page. Just to let you know 4 months ago I didn't know squat about how to write web pages (although in real life I do market research and my area of expertise is web assessments and web usability studies (assessing how user friendly/frustrating). I work with agencies that do all the design and graphics/texts).

Anyway - I sat down and read 'HTML 4 for Dummies' in a weekend and I was able to do simple edits by that Sunday. That being said you'll need to use a File Protocol System - many are free. I use SMART FTP (although I had to buy it after a certain amount of time). Also - I use Dreamweaver to make the edits (you can download free for 30 days) - it makes writing/editing a BREEZE. That one you eventually have to buy and it is expensive - but there may be similar free programs out there.

Feel free to PM me if you want to 'talk' about it.

The website I have redone (all text and links) is www.lessaccent.com. (My sister is a pronunciation specialist and her area of expertise is helping foreign nationals minimize communication barriers in the workplace).

Best,

Deb

 
Thanks Deb - I'll check out the book.

My DH has done a few websites, so I have to see what software we already have (see, I told you I am not well-versed on this subject yet).

I will definitely PM you about this as I get further in to it.

Your sister's line of work is very interesting to me - I've worked with ESL students before, and it is a difficult thing to speak any non-native language learned past about the age of 7 w/out carrying some sort of accent from the native language into the new one. I think it is great there are resources such as your sister's that can help people with communication.

Edited to say: The website looks fabulous!

 
Thanks!

I'm awful proud of her!

She's so darn good at what she does. And she just loves dealing with the different cultures, etc. Such wonderful people she meets.

Deb
