[TheForge] new website

Yes fusion7 is a download, I looked at a few and this one was one of the
most popular. I took a day off, sat down in the morning, never used the
program before, that night I had a website, the one you saw. Id definately
reccomend it.
 Ralph you definately have a problem with your website size, and Id agree,
its probably the size of your jpeg's, did you take them straight from your
digi cam? some of todays high res cameras take quite large file sizes for
each pic, you need to compress them using a program like jpeg optimiser or
something similar, fusion 7 has a great photo album feature that allows you
to set the file size of the pic on the fly. Or did you have video on the
site, those files are large too.
Definately look into URL redirecting and make use of your free isp web
space, most url registrars offer url redirecting, $75 monthly is a big put
off.
 The "posting it" thing is easy also with this program, you just need the
user name, password and location of the ftp site where your isp stores your
free space and it does it all automatically. The website programmers are all
probably whincing at my suggestions but 1 day to learn a program to me is
better for me than 2 weeks to learn html with notepad
