Hi to everyone. I have just signed up with GDI and the first thing that attracted me to this is that I already have a blog that has become quite popular to a certain population. I do not want to change that blog and use my .ws instead (and since there is a 10-page limit to webpages using GDI's hosting, I doubt that I can use it for blogging purposes).
So, is it possible for me to do that?
If not, can you provide me with any tips to discreetly create curiosity into this online business amongst my readers?
Thanks a lot!

Hi, My business partner Deb and I formed Marketer's Edge shortly after joining GDI. We got the .ws domain, but the .com was already taken (imagine that? LOL). Deb registered ME as a business in the state of Texas. Our site is based on giving all marketers an "Edge", providing marketing tools and opportunities. It's always a work in progress. I love website building, and even though our site has won several awards, we are getting ready to revamp it again. We will be including direct product sales in the future, as well our own banner exchange program and safelist. Really, I just want to change the template  Don't get me wrong - even though we offer other things, ALL roads lead to GDI, and always will! Your website is the product you are paying for with GDI. You should use it any way you want and have fun with it! In Success, Stephanie hello staphanie do you know i am very glad to visit your website and it's vey interessing it's allow me to build my own banner that's why i ask you to give me some advice about my website in building because i really need some people who got experience like you , me i am in GDI global domain name and i really need your support and your help about it and then the marketing how to get mail so that to send invitation. |

It is not necessary to stick to the ten page limit - if you use the hosting option you can have as many pages as you want. The problem will be to get the blog to work. |

Hello everyone,Its been a while since ive used the forum,(as everything was running smoothly 4 me), but im back now & i need a little help. I have recently purchased my domain name in 5 different extentions (.com, .net, .info, .biz, .org), so now i truly feel like im the mistress of my domain!! Anyway, im having a bit of difficulty understanding things like databases, my SQL & php. How can i incorporate these things into my site? I want to be able to have dynamic web content on my sites including autoresponders, search page, fully functioning shopping cart, & other popular common scripts. Is there anyone out there that can help with this kind of thing? I already have designed & published a simple site with .ws site builder, but feel im ready for a new challenge. In the end, i would like to have all my sites displaying the same content & plan to upload all the content to one site & have the rest point to that site, so no matter what extention a user enters, they will be directed to my site regardless.Can anyone recommend a good tutorial help guide for novice dummies like me? I have absolutely no knowledge of databases at all. I know what their function is, but cannot understand what i need to do to have it all up & running on my site. Before I joined GDI last October, I didnt know a thing about websites, all i could do, basically, was to send & receive emails. Since joining, I have come a long way in understanding basic concepts in website knowledge, like HTML. THANKS SO MUCH GDI, for giving me the opportunity to learn!! It has taken me alot of sleepless nights, but i have taught myself everything i know up to this point. So, i would like to continue with that knowledge & learn about my SQL/php. (Everything I have read on the subject so far has been written for advanced knowledge, even the beginner info!) I already have downloaded several fully functioning scripts (shopping cart, banner rotation, autoresponder, chatroom, invoicing, document management, directory indexer, plus many many more...) ready to upload to my site, but have no idea how to go about it. I feel so frustrated, cause i know what i want, but i havent a clue what to do. What i need is slow, patient instruction from someone that has already done it or a recommended, step-by-step, easy to follow tutorial - PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!!!!!! Perhaps you could pm me any recommendations to: THANKS, much appreciated,
PS. Below is my personal banner i designed using a special free banner template software, cool isnt it? (its not a clickable banner just yet, but will be soon - if anyone would like a free copy of the banner templates to download, please email me )
Kind regards,
HELEN R.

It is not hard to do what you want to do. However since you want to point all your domains to one site you will have to as GDI if they will do that for you. Its called an IRO (Internal Redirect Overlay). WRT to the php mysql thing all databases require some sort of script to draw data out of the database so you need to teach yourself a scripting language. You can buy PHP&Mysql for Dummies in the Dummy series as a start.

Does anyone know if it is possible for me to use a 3rd party website builder and build a website for people on my downline & create their site or do they have to do it themselves? Has this been done or can it be done? Any advice & comments would help.
Thanks,
Crystal

Hello, You can do this two ways: 1. You can give special access permission in .htaccess file. 2. Through a programming script like PHP or ASP. If you would like to protect by .htaccess file check whether the webhosting provides this facility via control panel or telnet access. Then follow the procedures given in the web hosting guide. Or, check this link for more information. http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/web/htaccess.htmlIf you would like to protect via PHP or ASP code, refer to http://www.gidforums.com/t-887.htmlNicole |

One of the easiest ways is to draw a 2" (5cm) circle smack in the center of a piece of paper. In the center of the circle write the title of your site. This represents your home or index page and is the first page anyone will see when they type in your new .ws domain name.
Radiating out from the circle draw 7 spokes. At the end of each spoke draw another 2" (5cm) circle. So each new circle represents one of our remaining 7 pages. In each of these circles write the title of a topic for your site such as "contact" or "promote the gdi dream" or "sell a mineral supplement" or "weave an underwater basket". One of the seven circles will be a guestbook and one will be a feedback form. This will give you a core layout.
If you are using the GDI hosting option not the site builder, you can add as many spokes as you like and you can connect the sub circles with spokes to show relationships. You can also add spokes to the sub circles and add a second layer of circles.
Play with the circles till you find a good combination.
Now get a pad and using one page/circle write anything down about the topic. Just write anything that comes to mind. Now turn the thoughts into paragraphs. You will be surprised how quickly content builds. Concentrate on text to begin with. Just put words on the pages. Text is important because this is what the big search engines like Google and Yahoo will assess you on. (They have no interest in graphics or banners.) When you have finished with the words make a list of any pictures, graphics, banners or sounds you want on each page

You must use a payment processor. All webmasters who sell items on their website have them. You must find a reliable service. A very popular one is Paypal. There are others that have recurring charges. |

Hello,
I offer different avenues of interest on my Website. I've been thinking of adding a "Funny Videos" section and perhaps a blog. Even a news feeder would be a good idea. Having things like this on your site will give your vistors a reason to keep coming back.
Nicole
Nicole, Your website gave me an excellent example of how to pull a site together. I really appreciate you sharing it with us all. Joe Wilson |
