The thrill of victory ... and the agony of defeat!

Screen shot of "The Book" Website


OMG!  (said through a BIG megaphone)!!!  And, that doesn't even begin to express my frustration.  My frustration is at a friggin' nuclear blast level ... for I try again ... and again ... and again to send my newly-created website to the World Wide Web. I anxiously await the file transfer at which point I direct my cursor to the url: www.torchfiredenameljewelry.com ...  only to be greeted by a little cute dress saying something really cool is about to appear in that space!

For four solid days I've been working on the website for the book, which is recommended by the publisher. The site will have lots of photos, a little about me, much about my schedule, a look at the virtues of the immersion process of torch firing ...  I initially thought I could add a page at my regular website, but on second thought I realized the information might be lost with all of the other activity there. I went back and forth trying to decide how to do the damn thing ... and decided on iWeb ... a Mac program.  There's a learning curve, but definitely not as steep as it could be!

After the aforementioned four days of solid work I'm ready for the site to go LIVE ... to take on a life of it's own!  I've spent at least 20 hours trying to play the ftp game (file transfer protocol)!  It's time to call go daddy and speak a language at which I'm illiterate ... how embarrassing!

Anyone care to share some frustrating experience so I don't feel all alone?!!!
