If I was the motivational speaker at an e-commerce seminar, I would lose half my crowd after I told everybody this: "You must design, write, and control your own website." If any of my "flock" stuck around after that revelation, I could watch their enthusiasm continue to fade as I told them that learning to use an HTML Editor is essential. Their enthusiasm would go right into the toilet as I told them they must register their own domain name, learn to use a File Transfer Protocol program, and even some HTML code. Anyone that remained with me would learn that only after these steps are accomplished could the really hard work begin! http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogWebsite.html Copyright 2005 C.

I include an easy tutorial system for picturing the popular browsers as I talk. There is also an abbreviated time-line to provide an image of the web from the time President Eisenhower signed the bill for the ARPA program that started it all. http://www.askcarl.net/BlogWebsite.html DF09B96F-D885-43BF-B88C-1121CBC4B67D Tue, 19 Jun 2007 21:43:52 -0400 I threw this together to announce a promotion campaign and a new eBook. http://www.askcarl.net/BlogWebsite.html Weblog 27BE7371-5D41-49DF-9EF6-3563332ACC7B Sat, 24 Feb 2007 08:15:41 -1000 I repeat myself by saying the most important skill for those who want an e-commerce business is the mastery of an HTML Editor. I move quickly to abstract listings of the previous 8 website shows in preparation to adding them to the archive program. I finish up with a mildly hostile email suggesting that most of what I'd been saying was hogwash. My response was a serendipitous gift from a radio ad that happened to be playing at the exact moment I was reading the email. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc9web.mp3 podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc9web.mp3 Sun, 13 Aug 2006 13:27:09 -1000 As all podcasts in this series, this is directed to those that are interested in an e-commerce website or weblog but overwhelmed by the huge number choices. I will walk you through my website building process. I use on-line screen shots to add a visual dimension. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc8web.mp3 podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc8web.mp3 Thu, 8 Jun 2006 10:10:18 -1000 In issue #7, I discourage the use of webmasters and templates in favor of a better alternative. Can you guess what is the most powerful promotional tool on the internet? http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc7web.mp3 podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc7web.mp3 Tue, 9 May 2006 12:52:43 -1000 PC 6web. 3-27-06. I started the show talking about my recent hardware changes but moved quickly into my primary topic, the business venue as applied to the website. I discussed parallels between the website and the early 20th century mail-order catalog. I then went all the way back to the first venue, the African Savanna. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc6web.mp3 podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc6web.mp3 Mon, 27 Mar 2006 07:36:19 -1000 In issue #5, I whine about my computer problems and then drift into the a discussion of websites and WYSIWYGs. As always, I argue that do-it-yourself is better. I suggest you order one or two of my free eBooks. This was recorded January 20, 2006. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc5web.mp3 Podcast http://www.wdslibary.com/pc5web.mp3 Fri, 20 Jan 2006 08:17:15 -1000 In this podcast #4, I reviewed some of the things I discussed in #29 of my Podcast WDS DotCom series. I focused on tutorials as a way to get a eBiz website on-line -- as distinguished from templates or webmasters. http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogWebsite.html Podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc4web.mp3 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 10:05:30 -1000 In podcast #3, I begin by stressing the importance of basic web mastering skills. I discuss the difference between web mastering and web design. I talk, at some length, about the concept of paradigm shifts. http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogWebsite Podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc3web.mp3 Wed, 5 Oct 2005 09:06:35 -1000 This Aug. 28 show #2 was created especially for those believing they could never build their own website or, if they could, they wouldn't be interested. Before a final decision is made, listen to this podcast. http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogWebsite Podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc2web.mp3 Sun, 28 Aug 2005 12:32:46 -1000 In the premiere podcast for this series, I talk about the three categories of website: The Vanity Website; The Auto-Function Website; The Interactive Website. Which of the three is best for you? This a short podcast (about 15 minutes) but I manage to zip through a historical review of website building from the middle 1990s until now. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc1web.html Podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc1web.mp3 Fri, 5 Aug 2005 18:55:09 -1000
