silatpupil said: "1st suggestion.....get your own domain. ie... [url]www.somename.com[/url] 2nd dont make a site unless you really like the subject matter......... 3rd forums are too common at present, Im having a nightmare promoting mine because of this......."

Darksat said: "Make the subject something you are passionate about and interested in, preferably something you know a fair bit about as well."

codicazero said: "well, i still don't know what to dedicate my site to...i have read your advice, but i am still in the same place. i was thinking of starting a blog, but still i have no clue what it should be for. I love music, but i have no reall knack for knowing things ahead of time for music. Apparently, i am very smart (based on what everyone tells me, my iq, and my sat test score) it can't be a business (i'm in 9th grade...what would i sell?) if i get a domain name, it has to be all free. can anyone help? what would you want from a website that isn't already out there?"

Padawan said: "Why cant it be a business ? Why not about music ? You could have a website about your favoutite band or the genre of music you enjoy. Forget the future, write some interesting and informative article about the history of a group or type of music. Get a nicely designed site, maybe get some photos from the music publishers if they are feeling generous and bingo - you will receive plenty of visitors. Then apply for google ads and everyone clicking on them puts some cash in your pocket."

<h1> said: "Firstly, websites aren't just a means to make money. Building a website is like writing an essay or book..it is creative and a very effective means of communication.. It is a medium on which you can allow a large amount of people to take in what you want to say.. Ofcourse there are ways to make money off the internet, but you should start small. Treat it as writing a book or as something fun to do...that way you won't be building a site with the wrong energy, and your sites will be much better, and eventually will be able to make more money. Here's a site I helped build back in SA with some mates who started a deep house "label". Basically it was a bunch of dj's and producers testing the water. check it out [url]http://www.afrobeat.co.za[/url]"

Can i use the domain name i got from there in the tripod web page building tools? after that answer, will someone please tell me how to create online cartoons?"

codicazero said: "nevermind....it's not free. Does anybody know of a place to get a free domain name and free site building tools? (i can't pay for anything)"
