Website Blues

Sometimes the inherent cheapskate gets me into deep trouble. Take the simply exercise of setting up a website........yes I hear your hysterical laughter in the background, SIMPLE it is not. Once you have found a web builder package and the cheapskate screams Freeware Freeware! The options available and the templates and the services and the small print soon befuddle your brain.

Develop your website. Week’s later attempt to publish it and then your service provider gleefully lets you know that your current package does not allow you to point your domain to another site. Scream!!!

Overcome that hiccup with calls to every employee of your service provider (CEO excluded he was not available) to resolve the issue eventually with success.

The sound of the champagne cork popping is still bouncing across the neighbourhood when your mate asks you, "So how did you set up your SEO and have you asked Google to crawl it?" WHAT?!

Help! Anybody! I have a website; I know that I have one I put it all painfully together. Where it lurks and how to get it to magically pop up when a search is made for “Mountain Africa” defies me.

So it appears that I have a way to go before my website is visible. One thing I’ve come to realise is that the money spent on a professional web designer would have been well spent.
