    Make a Website in 2 Weeks
    I was really nervous about making this site.  I didn't know how, and didn't have anybody to teach me.  Well, after several late nights over less than a week it's almost ready.  Not "finished," but good enough to share.  Thanks for letting your neighbor hog your computer Tara and Kevin (& Corey, Shay, and little Maeve)!

    The library had a ton of books. Sams Teach Yourself to Create Web Pages in 24 Hours (not in a row!) was helpful.  We used the Netscape Composer and PaintShop Pro that came with that book, with a bit of looking at the secret HTML codes, and a lot of flipping back and forth in the books. 

    Resist in Canada: helped with hosting and web based tutorials

    Gandi.net:  does non-profit Domain Name registration

    Riseup.net  does tech-work with two-thirds world groups.  Their site told me where I could go.  (In a helpful way.)

    Radical Designs:  our friend David can design your non-profit/activist site with you.  Pay him lots of money, he deserves it.
