> After reading how happy certain New Zealanders are with their web sites, I am beginning to think I might need one. I could post pics of antique scooters, my 1932 Maytag washing machine engine, some quilts and ,why not, a few grandchildren. There are four generations of quilters in my wife's family. She's the third. The quilts are extremely colorful and some of the designs date to the 19th century. They make great pictures. Scooters are also colorful and photogenic.

yay!!!! a Howard site!!! we should start a Rinkworks regular ring. what do you think Sam? not that i even know what i ring is.... but couldn't there be somewhere from which you could get to everyone's page?

> I do have some problems and questions before taking a step like that:
i'm probably not the best person to answer, but i'll try anyway

> 1. I am a computer illiterate who doesn't follow directions very well. Can such a person operate a site?
sure. i'm the same way, and i have a site

> 2. What is the real difference between a web site and a web page?
i don't think there is one

> 3. What costs are involved?
none, if you use something like geocities (which Brunnen-G uses). the pages are free.

> 4. Is "quilts and scooters" such an odd combination that people would be afraid to log on or would it attract too much attention?
probably neither one. i'm sure all of us will want to see it

> 5. How do you get started? I already know how to boot up and get online. Then what?
go to http://www.geocities.com and register for a page, then use the "page builder" to put it together

> 6. Other than maintaining the site, what other responsibilities are involved?
none, really.
