Whaddyakneedtoknow?

well, research has lead me to believe that I need a domain name and a host and then worry about the web design at a slightly later date. I don't need lots of space so it's a basic package. I don't want to spend very much money and all I really need to do is show images and a page of contact details

any tips? someone on the techie board has recommended some hosting companies that can sort out the domain etc for me.

I got my names from nominet.

I'd say to be highest in your google ranking, choose a domain name that 'does what it says on the tin' the search engine robots are very sesitive to key words used in the domain name.

Also think about your market. If it's a very local endeavour clothnappiesinEdinburgh.co.uk would work well for anyone tapping those things into google. But if you wanted to hit the whole of the uk, then don't put where you're based. A very functional name sounds dull, but noone really looks at the domain name when searching for an established brand. B and q adopted a similar strategy when they chose diy.com as their name. This means they get high ranking on any DIY related search, not just ones with their name in. The domain name doesn't even need to appear on your home page, you can have a creative title there.

Just my thoughts

emlou, I had a suspicion you were a handcoder from your /rant] joke syntax

ah weezl you saw through my not so secret geekiness! i must admit i have slept since then but i still remember quite a bit if i think really really hard! it was back when i had my old PC, but it died and i couldnt access a computer for 2 1/2 years after that so its all a bit rusty now

i went to ikea today and bought seth a little hand puppet, it really makes him giggle when i grab his nose with it! also got a dustpan and brush, carrier bag dispenser, two vanilla scented candles and two extension leads all for the princely sum of £14.78 :money: may also have had a hot dog on the way out as well :whistle: oh and a lamp which was the main reason i went!

still couldnt find those bl00dy bibs though!!

Feeling a bit sad today. Got a text from my Mum today which made me cry. Toby was a bit fussy this morning too, but bread and apple cheered him up. I hope a Chinese will cheer me up too. Think I will tell my Mum how I feel when she gets back, ask her what she thinks I should do about adoption, medication etc.

I take it you are planning to get OH adopted as he seems to be causing you the problems not the gorgeous little Toby! Feely we're all here for you and I'll find space in our house if you need another place to escape to for a break

Also thank you to SS's fairies for my DVD and first Christmas Card

feelie, FWIW I genuinely believe that adoption can work for children whose alternative is abuse or neglect. But I also believe that you are guilty of neither. PLEASE HANG IN THERE. You are doing an ace job.

Fergie is obviously missing the kids TV I never show him and has taken to avidly watching the microwave. If obstructed he leans sideways out of his high chair to recommence his viewing of 'plate of food gets warmer!' His fave prog :rotfl:

Popping over from the preg thread again:o - May i ask a question please - i am writing my birth plan and have noticed that due to the origins of my OH my lo will be eligible for the bcg vaccine at birth - does anyone have any experience of this vaccine being given to a newborn?
