After forming a new S-Corporation in Los Angeles, I started looking for someone in Information Technology to help me start up a website. I looked at lots of sites on the internet offering to assist in the set up of a website. I purchased a domain name and a hosting company. Then I attempted to "populate" my site. Whoa.
Then I made several phone calls. It helps when I realize I have no clue about what I'm doing. The majority of web designers can make me customized templates designed for my business. The only thing I want at this point is a simple site with a few pages and the ability to link things. At some point I might want to sell some things...like books, or artwork. I'm considering self-publishing a memoir. (I can already hear the screams from some colleagues saying "Don't do it." and the screams from people who have been waiting a couple of years to be able to share it with friends "Finally!!"
One of the web designers sent me an email linking me to a free website company called http://webs.com. So I went with them. At some future point I'll move them to my domain name. Or I'll move my domain name to them however it's supposed to work.
For all those people who have just completed a web design course, there is a tremendous need for people like me to work with a web designer to use templates to create a site. I had a low budget--around $300. Some student could have helped create a website as a student project and offset expenses. There must be a lot of people like me out in the world. I actually thought about taking a web design course so I could do it myself and keep it all updated. But the simple site is up. Please bookmark it and visit.

Gang Dog
Cinnamon died on Tuesday morning, August 24, 2010. She contracted Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) http://www.cdc.gov/mrsa/index.html in 2007 and gave it to our other Dalmatian Baxter. Both dogs required multiple courses of antibiotics to treat their infections. They contracted MRSA after an infection my husband contracted post-surgery from shredding soiled linens left out when he was rushed to the hospital.
The Bella Moss Foundation is an organization in England that provides information regarding MRSA infections in dogs and how it can be transmitted interspecies from humans to dogs. I contacted them when the dogs became sick. Long term infections can develop into problems with the immune system. Both Baxter and Cinnamon developed autoimmune disorders. Baxter developed an autoimmune thyroid disorder, dying of complications of infections in 2009. Cinnamon developed what appeared to be autoimmune diabetes, and was no longer able to walk, lift her head, eat or drink, and likely had an intracranial hemorrhage resulting in a single seizure at the vet's office and labored breathing prior to her being humanely euthanized. She became obviously sick at 6 am and was near death when she went to the vet's at 9 am when they opened.
She will be missed.
