 |
|
I've been pissing about with Wanadoo's Site Builder and FTP thingy for 5 days now.
I think I cocked something up and I'd run out of things to do on their website. So, I phoned their Technical Help line.
What a complete waste of time. Got the usual 'Press No.1 for this, Press No. 2 for that' blah, blah blah.
Eventually got through to a human being who hadn't got a clue how to help me over the phone. Just kept telling me to go to the Help pages and ask my question, then everything will be explained and fix your problem. Guess what? She was Indian and I had problems understanding what she was saying.
What a load of bollocks.
Given up trying to talk to Wanadoo anymore. Spent the rest of the afternoon pissing about with their website. Not got a clue what I'm doing 
So, could someone please let me know if the link below actually works ?
https://theoldgeeza.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/
Sorry, but I'm no expert here, and I don't know how to shorten the link 
TIA

It works, but geez - that is one horrible mofo of a webby, mate. 
Lose:
The nasty diahorrea-flavoured background
The flashing graphics
The blue text
The monster fonts
and - unless you like being spammed up the wazoo and back - don't include your email address in a link to be hoovered up by the webspam spiders.
Try breaking the pages up into more readable chunks - don't have 20 screenfuls all on one page. Try to analyse what you're trying to achieve - is it a site for novice sparkys or other bikers or both?
If both, have two distinct sections, and don't - repeat, don't - put a section link which reads "nothing here, try again later" because no-one will ever try later.

I'm OLD !
Thanks for the info bazza. I'll look at changing the site (yet again)
 Sorry
But surely, it's a start, isn't it? I was only hoping to help some folks who might be interested
I wasn't actually trying to do anything special. I just wanted to know if the bloody link actually worked, that's all. I'm just so pissed off with my ISP service
