Anyone Use yahoo
Any of you use yahoo website builder and webhosting? They've got a good deal going and I've went thru the tutorial and templates etc. I don't plan on doing alot of selling out of my website...just people site seeing...(I hope I'm wrong tho)...I just would like to know what the pros and cons are to using yahoo. I'm not looking to spend 20.00 a month for someone to host my site.
thank you
xoxo

Hi Lori,
I use yahoo for my main site and I really like them mainly because im rarely if EVER down. I have access to my email and website to update it via the web pretty much ANY where I am which is soooo nice.
I dont use their templates I use my own and upload them which is what I prefer to do but their templates are pretty diverse and their webpage builder allows you to do quite a bit and it also has a built in blog thingymabobber now which actually builds a really nice blog page.
They are a bit more expensive than other places lik 1and1.com and maybe godaddy.com but the convience (i dont think thats spelled right) is what sold me on it and its really been the best thing for me the ease of using it on the road and on trips and access to it while traveling when needed.

Hello!
I use Yahoo! for my website, and although I usually don't sell much off it yet, it puts my name out there so when i hand business cards out people have somewhere to go to see my "art" (not that good yet, but would like to eventually be deemed an "artist"). It gets better when i sit down and work on it, but i think my DH is going to take it over for me and really snazz it up. plus it's only 12.95 or 11.95/month for hosting plus domain name. Good luck!

My entire site was built using the Sitebuilder and I knew nothing when I started. The directions are pretty clear and their web hosting is cheap. Plus Sitebuilder is free. I actually had a question one day and got a human on the phone to answer it for free.

Excuse me, I don't want to hijack anyones thread, but if noone minds I'd like to ask a question about Yahoo web since y'all have experience with it. I've had my yahoo web site for about 4 months with just a holder page on it. I've been procrastinating about getting anything on it because I don't really understand about shopping carts. Do they offer their own shopping cart? I have a merchants paypal account, I saw that one of you used the paypal button but I just don't understand. Is it hard to put the paypal button on there? Does paypal allow you to use a shopping cart, or just one item at a time? I was hoping when I signed up for the yahoo site that they had their own shopping cart deal.
I don't mean to hijack your thread Lori. Maybe my question could help someone else..? I'm new at this so just let me know if I'm outta line here and I'll start a new thread..
Thanks! -Carol

Carol,
Ok I was messing w/ my site today..still not published, but I put some items on it for sale...and just went to the insert button and put a paypal button beside each item pic and discription. I looked at it like it would look on the web...and hit the paypal button...it didn't take me to paypal..but I imagine it will when I'm up and running? I figure that'll be something I'll figure out when I get it published.
xoxo

Thanks Lori. You have so much more initiative than I do! I guess I just need to get in there and try things. Is your site going to be parrottflameworks.com?
