I am directing these questions to Bry, but if anyone else cares to contribute, please do.
This is the first forum in which I’ve taken part. I want to understand how it works (technically) but specific questions regarding that will come later.
I am curious about the money it takes to support a site like this. With its seemingly vast amount of space (hundreds of pages – thousands?) and its versatility, is it expensive to run? My apologies for not understanding how all of this works. The internets are still quite a mystery to me. Are the various components of this site under one “umbrella” system? (forums, JoCopedia, music, blog, etc.) I know that they all “work” differently and are programed to perform different functions, but would all of this be taken care of by one host? Bry – I know that you are the administrator but what does this mean on the technical side of things? Can you explain any of this to me in very simple terms? I can’t even say to explain it to me as though I were a child because the average 8 year old with computer and internet access has a more sophisticated tech. lexicon than your average 52 year old.
If I wanted to start a blog on my own website, could anyone recommend a site with clearly written, step by step instructions that would explain how to do this? (blogging 101) I am very intimidated by the “Go Daddy” site (they host my website) – it’s a mess (visually) and obviously written for people who are more tech-savvy than I am.
