    me... I don;t have a clue either... I am managing to build my site using mr site....

    one bit of advice that I found very useful (not sure where I got it from so ta muchly if it was any of you lot!!) is to spend time looking at other sites to see how they work, what you like, what you don;t like . This has helped me to gain a better understanding of what a good website is. As for actually building the site.... well so far so good, but that seems like the easy bit.... once I am up and running I have the joy of SEO to go... now that send shivers down my spine cos it all goes over my head! But one thing at a time, eh...

    back to merkins again!:rotfl:

    thank you, that is actually a very good idea, i hadn't even thought of looking at other websites.

    thank you so much, is there any particular reason why you wouldn't use that site or is it just a personal thing? also what does SEO stand for? (like i said- total technophobe)

    For me it is a personal one lol,

    SEO is hard for me to explain, Dilldalli is much better explaining it as my brain still works on the concepts of meta tags etc.

    What it does is allows you to use key words to optimise your website and to be found much easier and generally much higher in the search engine rankings. Good SEO assistance is literally worth its weight in gold if done properly. One of those things I keep telling myself to properly study and work with one day!

    It was a horrendous interview. Up against 7 other highly skilled PA's and one of the comments made in the interview was that they could not believe the response they had to the ad (over 200 apps) and that all 8 of us that were chosen for interview had all been made redundant!! Said they were hoping to make a decision tonight but now think they will end up having to call a couple of us back for second interviews as we were all so qualified and closely matched. Then also had to do an hour worths of tests. Nothing mentioned about that but I had a sneaking suspicion and had done a little brushing up lol.....

    Now just have to sit and wait and see if anything happens

    Good luck with it.
