well I am goin to talk bout the new additions that i have made to this site since I put it up 2 weeks ago....
for a start I learnt a little bit of java script as only html was not enough to make the changes.....I basically wanted a more dynamic page so java script is a good start.....
here is the following list of changes that i have added to my site
1) A google search bar which searches my website on your query.....well some of u may wonder how did i do it!! well its kinda easy.....go to Google Free and attach the simple HTML code provided to ur source code and there it is.....a very own google search box on ur site..... but if u want to make changes to it.... then just go to - http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_can.....
here they clearly explain how to make changes to the code given by google for their search engine to suit ur needs.....
2)I added a counter at my home page which counts the no: of visitors that have visited my site....well again i have used a third party package here...... goto www.statcounter.com ........ register yourself and then thats it.....just copy the code they give you....add it to ur source code and you will then have a counter ticking away as people keep visiting your site.....
3)now i am goin to tell you bout my brand new section.....the GUESTBOOK section.....here you can write down any comments or querys you have..... here i have linked the page to an external website - www.a-free-guestbook.com ......here again you'll have to register yourself and give your settings for the guestbook the way you want to show..... then just link it with your webpage and there you are with a guestbook for your visitors to fill in....
4)If u noted that on my homepage i have displayed the day, date and time that exactly matches with the day, date and time on your PC..... well i managed to write a small source code myself using javascript so i placed it here..... if you want the source code then just Click Here to download it for FREE!.....
5)Other changes that i have made is that i made this site compatible with screen resolution 800x600 also.....as previously it was only compatible with 1280x800 resolution..... i am working more on making it compatible with all resolutions which i will announce about later....
One thing great about all the links above is that all of them provide their services for FREE!!..... its really amazing just thinking about this......

The Construction
well...... as this is my 1st ever post,i might as well speak bout how i made this website......
i always wanted to make a website of my own...... and i had been tryin it......i had actually tried it a year ago......but had failed due to technical difficulties.......but the experience tat i gained wit my first attempt did make my job easier the 2nd time.....
this time i used macromedia dreamweaver 8 to make my site.... it sure did make it very very simple for me to make my site.....wit all the inbuilt functions it has......anybody can make a sophisticated website wit half the amount of work.....
but before using any website making programs i would highly recommend one first learns HTML.....it would surely help......and HTML is not at all difficult to study...... it just took me a week...... well at least the basics......and tats all you need.......but........this will only help you make a site tats a simple one wit text and images only......
i still havent gone deep into dynamic web page designing yet......so i wont comment on it.....but for starters......just follow wat i said....... and you'll be able to put up ur own page in no time.....
well all the above explains the images and texts put up on my site....... as for setting up a blogspot like this......its very simple too..... just sign up at www.blogger.com and give ur settings and its up there.....tat also at free of cost......gosh god bless google.......
then comes the tricky part of hosting your website and gettin a decent domain name...... i have been reasearchin on the free web spaces given by different vendors for bout 6 months but accordin to me the winner will be www.freehostin.com ........ with 5gb to spare, and a lot of bandwidth provided along wit php and mysql facilities and at no cost at all surely deserves my respect......the only catch in it is tat they put up a small text ad at the bottom of every page of ur website....... as you might have seen it here down below.......well tats actually bearable wit such good facilities provided by them......i am really impressed......
about the domain name...... it was the easiest part...... just go to www.freedomain.co.nr and register yourself..... see if a domain of your requirement is available and if it is then just go to account settings and enter the domain name of where your site is hosted.....tats it..... and you'l get a domain like - yourname.co.nr.......
finally the fonts.....(if you are using firefox you wont be able to view them, only internet explorer users will be)....... its not just simply by setting the fonts while you create your site will display it on the viewers computers..... they also have to have the same fonts installed on them..... if you whish to use some out of the box type fonts like i have..... you'll have to use a font embedding software like the microsofts WEFT (download page - http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/a/1/8a1be03f-f7fc-4504-af9a-7b9230775284/WEFTIII2b1.exe)...... its a freeware.... just install it.....embedd your required fonts....and upload your site.....
k then tats it wit this post.......if u have any queries.....pls just mail me at - devangnegandhi@gmail.com......any kind of comments are also welcomed.....
