Hi, my name is ~W~ Neil and I am building samples of free web pages so my friends and guests can see what the free web page providers have to offer.
So far I have over twenty spaces with more being added almost daily. (You may want to bookmark this page.)

I am not well organized.

My sister has been drug into the computer age with a text phone and a Facebook page. I was asked to help catch her up.

The first thing to know is

There is no such thing as anonymous anything on the internet!

I recommend never using your real name or listing relationships unless there is a good reason. Absolutely no real addresses in the profile boxes.  Do not tell people where you live, work or hang out.  IT IS DANGEROUS! PEOPLE HAVE DIED! TAKE NO CHANCES!!!!

By clicking ‘I am related to this person’ type boxes any visitors to your children's web pages may now know mother’s maiden name type of information.  This can be used for everything from stealing identity to picking up your children without permission.    Please be cautious so together we can protect each other.

Next is some e-mail education.

My first suggestion is to look up the term netiquette or click this link for a basic overview.  Next, please remember that it is considered just as rude to pass out others e-mail addresses as it is to give phone numbers without permission. Therefore; I suggest using the Undisclosed Recipient method.  This is done by creating a contact list under groups in your e-mail software. Just select create group under the contacts tab or your software’s equivalent and add your recipients by checking the boxes. Name the list undisclosed recipients.  When you wish to send a mass e-mail select this list and it will not show everyone the other other person’s e-mail address.  Barring this use the Bcc: feature on your e-mail itself placing semi-colons (;) in between the recipient names with no spaces and send it to yourself.  Everyone listed under Bcc: will then get a copy without the other e-mails listed seeing each address. Then you avoid giving out your friends addresses without creating a permanent list. The purpose of this is not to enable you to send spam but to forward your info to friends and family without making them angry by passing out their info so they don’t get more spam.

Thirdly; remember this is for fun and don’t be intimidated. The people on the other end are your friends, neighbors and relatives….they love you.. or not as the case may be but all are humans or other intelligent entities and should be treated as such.  Kindly and with as much respect and love as you can muster so that together we can make the world a better place. After all, that is the kind of world we all say we want to live in. It all starts with you.
