Hi guys!
Finally, after reading a response from HermanAB (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=44990) (thank you - I did not know where to start either!) I have registered my domain name with the internet gods and have confirmed it to be working and the license good. However I have not yet built my site!
I have basically zero knowledge of web building so I could do with some starting pointers!
I do some graphic design so that might help me a little maybe?
For example:
Good programs to use. (I have Dreamweaver CS3 for windows but nothing for ubuntu)
Good free ad-free hosts I could link to my domain name. (currently using free host with banner at top)
Hints or tips that may make things easier to learn or that a newbie may overlook. (remember this is completely new to me)
Anyone who knows about SQL databases. (to point to how to display japanese kanji on my site as the how tos I have read are so confusing and only seem to cover my machine, rather than making it veiwable to others cross-platform)
I have done a bit of googling but what I am really looking for is services or programs that people trust or have had good experiences with as there is a minefield of people who want to host my site that I do not trust at all (I fortunately read an article warning of hosting scams before looking around)
Also it would be worth noting that I use a mix of ubuntu at home and windows at work with a mix in-between.
Thanks for any help - I appreciate this has nothing to do with ubuntu really but you have all been a source of trusted help for me!
Arigato gozaimasu!
^_^
