Hi gil,
A very kind offer. I am a bit overwhelmed by all of this. Didn’t expect such an array of info so fast, given how slow things have been in the past. I have to read through everything carefully and think what to do next. Take care, Nick Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Biology Clark University <http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/> http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/ From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Gillian Densmore Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2017 11:11 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] scraping a web site Nick yes it called giving me a call. I don't know how you set it up. In short it's a very routine thing to do. Wit I'd do it for you for free because I consider you a friend. Thier's always some Oops when you do so. And it depends on how you, fam, and or friends set it up. I -Wordpress (for example) now has some rocking tools specifically for moving between Weby Web hosts. -Basic HTML is pretty portable, But again it depends entirely on how you or a friend set it up. If you can oldschool FTP to earthlink just download it. From experience it's a good idea to start the new web-host upload it, to make sure you didn't miss something. Robert Corginger hit the nail on the head. In simple speak Web-making-tools such as the OG DreamWeaver and Wordpress (as of 4.6) have a variety of tools to move it around. I swear by Database->Files Folder Plugins for wordpress for that reason. But needless to say you do have options. As to what host? That's a matter of taste and how much you want to play Admin. Like I said to Steve. I LOVE to have Wordpress on Gilsplace.net just to keep up with trying out setting up or keeping up a website. BUT for just a quick article or rave or geeking out? Wordpress.com all theway. Wix and Weebly (however that's spelled) are a close tie though. Because they just work. For what it's worth ipage.net <http://ipage.net> AmazonCloud, get rave reviews. namecheap in my experience isn't to bad. help is a totall crap shoot though.
