Hello to everyone here at Xisto. My name is jobel602 - or John for short, and I live in Cornwall in the UK. I do have a website and I know everything about them except how to make them , how to host them or where I should begin; so,I ended up here. I spent ages trying to find somewhere where I could have a banner or script hosted without having to plough through hundreds of ads or have them cluttering up my site. I was amazed at the amount and variation of topics here at Xisto and I am sure that I have plenty of reading to do before I have the confidence to post on a regular basis. I am slightly computer literate and have an interest in many of the topics on this site so I can relate and contribute to various discussions. I have just read the sticky about introducing myself so I will add a bit more. As I have mentioned I live in Cornwall UK which is the bottom bit of the map of our country unless you are looking at it upside -down which then makes it at the top but then everywhere looks weird at that angle. I live in a semi urban area; lots of houses, lots of fields, lots of cows, lots of doing nothing. If I get into my car I can be at the seaside in 5 mins or in the middle of a field. As to my interests it is probably best if I just list them: Photography - I have my own darkroom and process black & white films myself and I have just interested in digital photography but don't find it as much fun as breathing in poisonous fumes - reading, walking when I am able, cooking, films and music of all descriptions and not forgetting my wife and 2 teenage monster daughters and my fat Rhodesian Ridgeback dog that pees everywhere because she has a bladder problem. Speaking of illnesses I have chronic arthritus of my spine and a whole host of other medical problems; I still don't know if I have got Housemaids Knee though. I run a small retail business in our local town of Redruth which is called The Emporium that sells all sorts of weird and wonderful things. We have new stock - stationery, cd's, dvd's, books, kitchenware etc and also I go to the auctions and buy boxes of house clearance items so I have developed an interest in antiques and have a few good stories to tell about that but our main income comes from local books and the furniture that is very cheap to buy but kills my back to shift.....moan,moan I really need help and guidance in creating my website as I think that it is the only thing that will keep our shop and our town alive in this digital age so I will be avidly reading all the tutorials. I want a website that is full of life and interest but I don't really have the skills or the energy and time to spend hours at a computer learning code; just a cheap happy fix will do me. I guess I have infringed the rules of the house about a dozen times by now so I had better say good - bye and I look forward to meeting you all
