About this title

Synopsis

The first edition of Setting Up An Internet Site For Dummies helped thousands make the leap from creating occasional Web pages to creating whole business or organizational Web sites that are built to last. Now, because the Internet is the "movingest" target there ever was, authors Jason and Ted Coombs have completely updated their indispensable guide for this second edition. Here, you can find out how to take advantage of more than just the Web portion of the Internet by setting up FTP servers for uploading and downloading files; list servers for efficient, automated e-mail newsletters; newsgroup servers to provide lively discussion forums; and e-mail servers to keep people in touch. Setting Up An Internet Site For Dummies, 2nd Edition also serves up the latest information on everything from encryption and privacy to electronic commerce and site promotion. Plus, on the bonus CD-ROM accompanying the book, you get valuable software, including NetPresenz for FTP management on Macs; Wildcat! Interactive Net Server for Internet administration on Windows platforms; FirstClass Evaluation Server, an evaluation version of SoftArc's server management software for Macs and Windows; Claris Home Page 2.0, a trial version of the easy-to-use Web-authoring software for Macs and Windows; and Adobe PageMill 1.0, the popular Web-authoring software for Macs.

Review

The authors explain every aspect of developing an online site with the humor typical of the For Dummies series. In just one chapter, they relay the basics of writing your own Web page in HTML code better than many books devoted to the subject. They also discuss software that creates Web pages, but wisely stress the importance of knowing at least basic coding. Even complex topics, such as the use of forms, building a Web site from scratch on your own server, and the ins and outs of conducting actual business on the Web, become comprehensible enough for the average reader. The authors also show you how to find service providers who will do the things you cannot do yourself.

In addition to helping you set up features such as search engines, forms, and automatic mail responders, the authors also suggest content that can add extra functions, entertainment, and even profit to your site. The enclosed CD-ROM contains a variety of software for useful site creation and maintenance. --Elizabeth Lewis

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
