Can you answer my HTML or Web site questions?  I'm sorry, but I get over 100 e-mails a day, more on the weekends, and even though I would love to answer every single question, I just don't have enough time (at this point it would take me at least 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, to answer all e-mail). If you would like me to visit your page, sign the guestbook and eventually I will get around to visiting. I do love to see what everyone has done on their Web sites.

If I happen to be online , and you need help, you can send me a message. My AOL screen name is HTMLissa, you can send me a message there also. If you see me online, please be patient and considerate. Sometimes I have so many ims it crashes my ISP. I will get to your im, but most likely not right away, they are answered in the order they're received. If you're patient, I will get to you =) I have a brand new forum where you can get most of your Web site questions answered FAST.

Where did you get your forum?  I purchased my forum from vBulletin. It was recommended to me by Thinkhost, my Web host.

Which home page editor do you use?  I make all of my pages on Notepad for Windows.

Where did you buy your domain?  I bought my domain names from Network Solutions It costs $35 a year.

up


Who hosts your Web site?  My site is hosted by an awesome company named Thinkhost. They have a lot of different plans for every size Web site, and their customer support is better than any host I have ever used!

How did you password protect your images page?  I used something called HTAccess authentication to password protect that page. I don't know a whole lot about how to do it, my web host (Thinkhost) installed it for me, but if you want to know more about it you can learn more here.

How did you make your graphics?  My graphics were made using Adobe Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. There is more information about purchasing these programs on the library section of my Web site.

up


Where did you get your guestbook?  I got my guestbook from CGI-scripts. It runs on my server from my cgi-bin and all the pages are saved on my server space. If you pay for your Web space, most likely you have a private cgi-bin (unless you use Dreamhost or you have a basic account) and you can install this guestbook.

How did you get an e-mail service?  The type of e-mail service I use is specifically for pages with over 100,000 visitors a month. If you're interested you can check out Outblaze. The version for pages with less than 100,000 pages cannot be customized, you have to use their orange and black color scheme...not exactly pretty lol. For smaller pages I would recommend Zap Zone.

How did you make your own favorite places icon?  You can make your own icon, and then go to FavIcon. They have instructions there for uploading your custom icon.

up


How old are you now?  I am amazed how many times I am asked this question, since my age is posted on my intro page, I am 13 years old =)

How long have you been making Web pages?  I have been making Web sites for almost 3 years.

up


Do you make commercial sites?  I did make commercial sites in the past, but I have been too busy with school, dance, cheerleading, this Web page and life to have the time to do them. If you want someone to make a commercial site for you I would recommend TizMary WebDesign. She's really awesome and has reasonable prices.

Do you make custom graphics?  I don't have time to make custom graphics for people, that includes banners and logos. I would really love to be able to do that but I just don't have time =) My friend Eddie is AWESOME at making graphics, and for a fee he will make you a banner.

May I use the graphics from your site?  No, the graphics on my site (including those on my forum) are not available for use on any other site. My graphics make my page unique, and they were made just for this page. There are graphics available for your use though on my images page (user ABC password 123). These images were specifically made for use with the cursor trail script, or the falling objects script. Please do not alter them in any way.

How did you copyright your site?  I copyrighted my site by filling out the forms from the Library of Congress and sending them in with the amount of money they want, I think it's around $30 for each form, graphics and content are copyrighted separately. I have to frequently copyright my site since it is frequently updated.

Do you have a personal Web site?  My personal Web site is  here. There isn't much there, and my dance page has not changed since I was 11 lol (except for a few minor updates).
