Thank you so much for all your responses....wow you all know a lot more than I do about all this....I will have to look to see what masking is.
I set up a website at weebly. I don't think I am up to the challenge of hosting on my home computer (and I hope for tons of traffic)
GoDaddy will direct the traffic to weebly easily but weebly now wants money for this.
$10 a year is doable - I will check out Dayanahost....
Misty Cherie - what host company do you use?
Damselfly - I think I want more than a blog
Thanks everyone!
