My new home for Ilona's Childbirth Page. YAY! It is finally all here and ready for new content.

What strange companion topics: webmastering and birth! The Childbirth section had been the most popular part of my site. All other content here will be new articles on making your own website and perhaps some other topics. It isn't planned. Mainly a continuance of newbie to newbie sharing. I am like the Peter Pan of the Webworld... I never really grow up to expert status.

Making a Website

It is not difficult to set up a website or have someone make the initial design. The challenge is in improving, keeping things fresh, and drawing an audience. While once there were many talents and resources available for the taking, everything now is streamlined into three categories: pay for someone's talent, develop your own, or use free resources responsibly. That means supporting the largesse as asked: linkware links, giving business where the generous sharing was generated. These aren't new things, just present in a climate where it is more important to pay attention. We just never escape the need for being responsible, and we really should not want to... it makes life better all around.

I think open source code is a great idea, and even though someone might work very hard to put together a layout, I don't see anything but good in making sure that intelligent coding and good design are propagated throughout the web. It just makes sense. There is a difference in imitating a site and copying. This is where the point of contention starts for innovators and designers. They shouldn't be robbed of their rightful due, without turning the web into an elite proprietorship, either. JMO. Everything turns out to be a question of balance. Walking through life is trying to maintain this balance. Move on to the nuts and bolts of Website construction.
