I have long ago reserved my website, which will be PastBlessings.com. I have my degree in graphic design and can easily create PDFs for each page, but I am clueless as to how to do links, etc. and then actually load it to a server. And, how do I find a good server and decide to use them. I guess I don't need website design, but just the how-tos of getting it from something I design on my computer to something for the world to see. I really need to get this up and running, for the sake of my show. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. You girls are so great!

You should get a book on HTML, I'd check the library.
I saw one that was called "HTML for Dummies".
This should help you with setting up your site.
I'm no help as far as servers go...

Brenda,
There are many companies that will host your site as well as provide other services (such as submitting your site to the seach engines). They provide a choice of templates for you to build your online store. You can bring your own graphics or they will design a package for you. Sounds like for you all you would need is to plug in your graphics and you will be all set. Hosting costs from $8-$20 a month depending on the perks offered. These online stores come with your shopping cart & the ability to accept payment through paypal and/or credit cards. It's all set up for you. Oh, and no html knowledge is needed. There are several sites that cater to artist/crafter types. The one I use is http://u-maintain-it.com/ and the other is http://www.diyestores.com/ I believe the WAHM site also offers this service. There was a discussion of this in the entrepreneur section of these forums too. I'm sure others can tell us about services they use.
Hope that helps!
Rhonda
