Has anyone set up a website through Yahoo? What was your experience?

I have been wanting to set up a website for my photography for quite some time but I’m not sure what I’m getting into or what to expect. The Yahoo templates look easy enough but I wanted to get feedback from others who have set up websites. Any suggestions, experiences, or advice to share? Thanks!

I used yahoo to create a web site. I also learned enough HTML to create one on my own and uploaded it to geocities/yahoo as the host. I would say you have nothing to loose. If you want to learn more about HTML I used this site:

http://www.htmlgoodies.com

It’s really like another other creative/artistic venture, you learn as you go and go as far as you want or have time to. Once you understand HTML you can click the View menu and choose Source in your web browser and see the code that created the page you are viewing. If you want to go even farther, you can learn about Java and Flash which are other ways to create even more interactive web pages.

Good luck, and have fun!

Taschen’s 1000 Favorite Websites by Wiedemann; Wiedemann, Julius Edition , 0 $13.99 In the not-too-distant past, the internet was a military communication device virtually unknown to civilians. Then in the 1990s came an explosion, a sort of digital big bang, and suddenly everyone began communicating via the world wide web. The web’s evolution has proceeded at lightning speed, meaning that today’s websites are infinitely more sophisticated and well-designed than their predecessors. When a website gets updated, the previous version generally evaporates into the digital beyond, so it’s up to us to preserve and record this fascinating medium. 1000 Favorite Websites brings together — you guessed it — 1000 of today’s very best websites in the areas of advertising, architecture, art design, digital, erotic, illustration, movies, fashion, photography, and more; each website is presented via screenshots annotated with icons indicating the features of the site (e.g. animation, sound, downloadable material, etc.) Serving as a vital reference for web enthusiasts, this book is also a place marker in the history of the internet and a vibrant catalog of cutting-edge global web design. Bonus: Included in the book is a DVD (PAL and NTSC format, region 0) containing six mini-documentaries, each focusing on interviews with a creative web professional. The subjects covered include: how to use the net to maximize production, to find technical support, to help clients, to provide better service, to exchange ideas, to stay updated on the latest news, and to put creativity to work.
