how do you make website

[Bebpo]

I need to make a temporary website/blog for my work so that people know I actually exist and hire me.  I realized when I sat down to actually make the website though that despite using the web since its birth, I have no idea how you make a website and make it exist on the internet.

Are there programs or something to accomplish this.

You could pay yellowpages to do it

There are "scripts" you can set up for a quick portfolio, I imagine for photos as you use a camera a lot.

You would need to purchase hosting from various sites, and a domain as well.

If you want something for your law firm, you might have to try and go more professional.

Look into "Dreamweaver" - a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) app that can help. I hate these, but for a noob, I would pick Dreamweaver.

You can also "borrow" a template from a free site

http://www.oswd.org/ (just a quick search, there might be better sites)

And you can just upload it to your web space, and edit the stuff necessary.

HTH... PM me if you have other questions, or I can answer here.

If you go to a twitter page, would you rather have it use underscore "_" between words and just roll the words together.

IE:  How_to_cook_small_children or HowtoCookSmallChildren

Ok, cool.  Gonna click on those links.  My firm has a website already, but I need to make my own separate website to do my share of marketing/advertising.  Planning on website + blog + twitter + tumblr

Your Twitter name? Just make it all one word. I don't understand the question...

[Bebpo]

Yeah, I meant the name.

[Mupepe]

uh, when I made mupepe.com I pretty much PM'ed demi cock pics and paypal'ed him 20 bucks.

but i think you're too skinny for him to be into the pics

I'm more than willing to help for the right price, Bebpo.

Also is it worth making a LinkedIn?  I've never used the site in my life, do people use it?

Hmmmmm....

[demi]

LinkedIn is definitely worth persuing in your field of work. Network, network, network.

[demi]

Depends what you're looking for, I suppose. You can get a relatively cheap setup at 1and1, which is where this board is on.

a blog? just make a wordpress or something.

And yes, make a linkedin.
