I wrote to you but didn't receive a reply. Is anyone there?I'm here, and I read every email I receive, but I often can't answer each email personally. I answer email for two or more hours most days, but I own several web sites and receive hundreds of emails each day. I answer email from customers first, and get to as many of the rest as I can, but it's not uncommon for me to have over 100 emails a day that I just don't have time t...
Where did you get the cool wood background on this site?I made it. While I can't go into specifics about how I made it without making the answer into a huge tutorial, I can give you a hint. I used a digital camera to photograph an old wooden structure I found on a country drive to use as a starting point, then used Corel Photopaint to apply effects and make it seamless. While that background is not for public use, I do offer ma...
Do you really earn your living from the net? Don't you have a side job to supplement your income?I suppose you could say my book royalties are supplemental income, but really, the book is about the internet and came about because of the internet, so I call it internet income. Besides, I make a lot more money directly online than I do from book royalties. Unless you're a best-selling author with hundreds of thousands of book sales each year, the royalties aren't enough...
Do you have a tutorial adding a hit counter to a page?Hit counters are small software programs. They can be and usually are different from host to host, so any tutorial would only be good for a specific host. You need to contact your hosting company to see if they offer a hit counter. Alternately, you could look for a hit counter from a 3rd party source via a search engine. Please feel free to browse all my tutorials. You can...
Why don't you have all your content online for free, instead of having much of it in a members site?It's always a pain in the oops enforcing copyrights when I find my content has been stolen. The less content there is in the public area, the fewer violations I have to deal with. Most of my members like having content, like my custom graphics, for example, not available elsewhere. It helps keep the usage to a smaller group of individuals, which ensures their web site won'...
Do you know where I can get [insert software title here] for free?If the software developer doesn't offer it for free, then I can't help you get it for free. I support copyrights and the rights of others to earn a living through sales of their products. I do feature software at a discount from a variety of vendors in my members newsletter. These are discounts direct from the developer, on current version software, that the software compa...
Can I include your tutorials on my site if I link to you?Sorry, that's not allowed. I've spent hundreds of hours developing my own unique content. My living depends on keeping it unique, however, I do sometimes permit newsletter publishers to reprint content in their newsletter under specific conditions. If you're interested in that contact me for details. From what? I write more than one newsletter. Unsubscribing is automated, ...
Did you go to school to learn web design?No I didn't, though I'd recommend it for most people interested in a career at it. I taught myself by reading and doing. That was stage one. In stage two I learned by writing tutorials and experimenting. Stage three was writing my book. You really do learn by teaching. An I'm now in stage four, learning by osmosis. Be the code. Be the code. Ommm. |
