Hey, i've gotten my site going good with free stuff. It's getting big also. Soon, all i'll need to do is find a free search engine host to host my site on some search engines. Does anyone know of a good free search engine host?

All of the answers provided are worthless, as MSN feeds off of Yahoo! search results anyway. Submitting your web site to Google is rather easy, just go to: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

To submit to Yahoo! (and its partner search engines) go to http://submit.search.yahoo.com/ and you'll see the various options.

However, you'll need to add Meta Tags to your web site's head section (surrounded by tags). After some quick researching I found http://vancouver-webpages.com/META/mk-metas.html which is a user friendly way to create meta tags.

Best of luck with your web site.

If you don't put your name or url/e-mail in when you leave someone on a message, can they figure out it's you? By the way, I don't have one.
The chatterbox is http://cbox.co.za/

Using your IP Address (not number) they can figure out your general location, and possibly trace it from another part of the site such as a forums, or member system. They won't be able to get your address, or a specfic thing on who you are.

Hi! I need to make a webpage for a class through either Microsoft FrontPage or Notepad, but I wanted to know do you need a FTP program to view the webpage? I'm trying to work on the webpage but its not viewing correctly. Thanks in advance!

To view a Webpage, you don't need any type of FTP program (like SmartFTP, or CuteFTP).

However, assuming your host does not have an online file manager (where you can upload files) you'll most likely need an FTP program.

Programs like Frontpage and Dreamweaver both have built in FTP utilities and upload capabilities though.

I want to upload pictures onto my computer from my digital camera. However, we lost the cable that is supposed to connect the camera to the computer. Can you buy that cable seperately?

It depends on the camera, but it seems as if you only need a specfic type of a USB cable. Go to your camera maker's web site and check it out, and see if they sell what you need.
