Troubleshooting Website Troubles

Alright, so  it turns out the PHP script that I wanted to use for the "contact me" page is sort of restricted by AwardSpace. Fortunately though, tons of people had this issue before, and their FAQs page has the entire process of setting up an email service for personal websites. Although it required me to upgrade from a subdomain to a top level domain, which isn't too much an issue since AwardSpace also offers that for free too! I'll let you guys know what my site name is later on when I can post on here again as I haven't tested how the script acts with my website yet, plus I kind of want to add some form of authentication for the emails to cut down on spam just in case. Hopefully it works as well as I hope! Also, Silicon Cowboys is a pretty cool movie to watch if you're interested in computer tech from the 80s, just my opinion!

  1. Researching and troubleshooting by reading the FAQ (frequently asked questions) on your own when exploring new territory = independence :-)

    Having the foresight to use a 'Contact Me' webpage to keep visitors from leaving your website = good thinking on traffic management.

    One of your classmate declared that her academic pursuit has the focus of Web Development. You using PHP (a server-side scripting language designed for Web development, and also used as a general-purpose programming language.) instead of the IS101 method of letting Microsoft Word producing a quick-and-dirty webpage thus showing how web development is professionally done = definitely bonus credit worthy!

    Looking forward to seeing your end product ^_^
