Hi All,
If you have visited the original web site at
http://members.lycos.co.uk/albertstc01/ you will see I give
notice "THIS WEB SPACE IS BEING CLOSED BY THE PROVIDER". Well that's
what they said was going to happen on the 16/02/2009. This was just
before Christmas last week they have given notice that the web site
will continue with a different provider. In the mean time I have been
working in a panic to set up alternatives.
http://www.einstein.talktalk.net/ is just a straight forward port to
secure the existing site as is but now without advertising. The web
space is by my present broad band provider. Hope this provides
lasting service until I get something better.
In my last post I mentioned
> I've spent the weekend signing up to about half a dozen free web
> space providers to find one that appears reliable and does the work
> I want it to for a mirror site.
I also gave an address for the one I thought to be the most reliable.
It was the least reliable and has closed down.
These sites are still going for anyone who wants to view the work in
progress for a mirror site.

Many thanks to Jose for his interest in responding to my last post. I
value his comments and I am now trying new design ideas that are
more easy to navigate. The old web site must now have a ten year
history. I started out with limited knowledge and skill using a basic
HTML editor and added java scripts downloaded from the web for
additional features as time went on. I did borrow the occasional use
of a computer with Dreamweaver to wysiwyg up pages but most of the
time had to rely on typing in or pasting in script, viewing in a
browser and then retyping in adjustments. Time consuming.
Recently I found Serif's WEBPLUS SE freeware version excellent and
it's features suited for wysiwyging up the pages I want. For just
under £10 I've bought the full version. An additional advantage is
that it has a desk top publishing sister publication PAGEPLUS SE.
I've been using the freeware PagePlus for a long time now and I am
comfortable with it's use. A real advantage is that the PagePlus DTP
pages can be loaded into WEBPLUS as web pages. Better still copying
PAGEPLUS pages to clipboard then pasting into WEBPLUS can be done.
With this ability I've created both web pages and a copy pdf
document to download from the mirror sites. Acrobat Reader gives the
option to shrink to paper size so I've tried to make the document
pages both visually comfortable for the default A4 and a shrink to A5
size.
Every thing on the mirror sites are very exploratory and experimental
at the moment. My intention is to make use of their free facilities
until I have something put together I'm confident enough to put up on
a premium site with my own domain name.
With all the hassles with threats to close down web space I forgot to
find the time to wish you all the best for the New Year. I hope you
all had a good Christmas.
Regards Chris Coxall
