A non-clay question for the computer types: our pottery association is
interested in having a website and while we can get the space we don't know
how to "make" a webpage. As usual we do not have a lot of money to spare
for this kind of thing so the question is which is the best way to go:
one person take a course and learn how to make the page/site or buy a book
that includes a teaching cd or buy a computer program that helps you set up
a page/site. Please e-mail me privately with your experiences. Thanks for
the input.

here's my experience. i took a workshop, i got a book, and i have a
program that helps (visual page). depending on your learning styles, how
complex a site you want, and your patience, any of the above will work.
i'm glad i have the resource of having all three choices at my command -
more info to help me think about it. but the it part is actually not too
hard, just really tedious, and you have to be really careful (don't do
pages that might not work on most servers, watch the color choices, etc.
the books and the workshop should address these issues) it also helps
that i have netscape gold so i can see my results on screen before i
ever submit them to the server for publishing over the net. it's the
publishing part and getting everything well organized so i can update
easily in the future that scares me to death!
good luck, joanna

I recommend Claris Home Page or Front Page both have all you need to
"design" your pages... you may want to transfer your pages to a service
provider to maintain the connection and traffic. Most pages will have less
than 100 hits per month. Currently AmericanStyle magazine is receiving
just a little over a thousand hits per month... many are readers who saw
our URL in the magazine. Do not expect to sell work through your website...
it's a great way to announce events, collect names and addresses, meet
prospective members and share information between members... it's not a
retail fair opportunity at this time as far as I know. Best Wishes,
Wendy Rosen
