Website?

[Joshwainwright]

Do you think I should make a Betta website although I am just starting out?

I hardly know anything but it could be good to see the site grow with my knowledge...

 

[CraigBaines]

Plenty of sites out there, i wouldnt put up any info that isnt truly reliable. Leave it to the pro's lol.

 

[Joshwainwright]

Ok mate, just thought it would be nice to have something show how I progress.

 

[aaronnorth]

you mean like a blog?
go for it.

i wouldnt do a site for general info, perhaps when you have more knowledge though

 

[CraigBaines]

Maybe do a site showing how your tanks ect progress.... and say what you do and that.

But i wouldnt do one on how to care for betters or anything, like i said id leave that for the pro's

 

[pippoodle]

you're going to try breeding aren't you so maybe a beginner betta keepers first time breeding blog with your experiences

 

[Joshwainwright]

Yeah thats what I want to do.

Then people can see how I progress and maybe one day look at my blogs for ideas.

Will be my first website as well so will be pretty rubbish, so that will improve over time too hopefully...

 

[CraigBaines]

How you going to make the site anyway?

Im thinking about making a site for when i come to sell my betta's.

Somwhere to put all the pictures and make it easy for people to browse trought...

 

[Joshwainwright]

Dreamweaver...

 

[CraigBaines]

And how do you get it online? iv never known how websites are made thats why i ask...

 

[Joshwainwright]

Dreamweaver is a HTML editor, it makes it easier to design the website, you should learn how to use that and design your website on there.

To get the website up, you need a domain name and hosting.
Hosting is usually paid monthly and domains annually...

You connect the domain to the hosting with DNS and to upload to the site you use cpanel.

It sounds very complicated, it is. And I hardly understand it lol.

Well iv had a play and found a free place to do it, has a check out system and everything so i think it will be ok.

www.buyabetta.webs.com

Take a look and tell me what you all think.

One thing id like to try is buying one of the fish, to see if it disapears of the list, so i dont get two people buying them!

If anyone has 1p spare in there paypal account, and fansies helping me out select the male and uk postage - iv set it as £0. For some reason when i set the fish at £0 it puts 1p.

Iv tryed to buy it myself but hen i try and log into paypal it tells me im trying to log onto the sellers account lol!

Anyway, let me know what you think and if this will be suitable for selling my fry when the time comes

 

[balapickerel]

hm, i like the website , it'll look nicer once you've uploaded pics of all your fry on there!

 

[CraigBaines]

Yep, not ready yet though. Just having a play finding how to set it all up lol. Seems easy really!

Just the one problems as of yet, thats if the fish will disapear off the stock bit once its been bought or not!

If not it could mean people buy the same fish!

Like i said im un able to buy it myself, and iv i set up a new paypal i know its only going to say my cards already set up to anouther paypal! So id have no way of paying! lol

Like i said if anyone has 1p spare and could test it out for me, ill send the penny back if paypal dont robb it for fee's! lol =] would appricate it greatly.

 

[CraigBaines]

hmmm, i can only add 5 products with this free acount, iv i want more i have to upgrade and pay mounthly!

dammit lol. Could be a problem with 65 fry
