The Honest Way

Hi all,

The new series of articles covering how to build a website from the ground up is growing nicely. We’re up to article number 6 now and there’s still lots more to cover. The associated website that we’re building in real time to go along with the series is starting to take shape in that there is a homepage, site map and a style sheet, all of which are growing as the series moves forward with more HTML and CSS code being added.

In order to keep each phase of the website build in sync with the articles, the site’s files are being kept in its own tutorial folder. The actual website, Organic Sanity itself is being updated in real time, but anyone coming in at the beginning will still see the website grow from nothing by viewing the tutorial pages on their browser instead of opening the root index.php file.

Clear as mud?

Well, don’t worry. The articles are written in basic, plain English so anyone should be able to follow them and see how changes and additions in code make a web page change appearance right before their eyes!

So if you want to learn from the ground up but don’t want to plough though some stuffy manuals, then have a look at our tailor-made articles instead. You’ll be glad you did!

See you again soon…

Just a short note to let you all know that the mini-series on “How to build a website from scratch” is moving along nicely at a leisurely pace. There are now four 1000 word+ articles in the series. If they carry on at the current rate, it will turn into a full-blown major series - and why not?

There’s nothing like a good set of tutorial type informational articles to keep the interest at its peak as well as to inform visitors to the site just what a great resource it is becoming for the budding Internet Marketing entrepreneur as well as a good read for some of the more seasoned Internet marketers out there!

So if you have some time to spare and want to get in on this tutorial series from close to the start, head over to my articles page and dive right in!

See you again soon

Yep, the articles on building a website from scratch are starting to flow now. There are three of ‘em in the articles database for you budding webmasters to get your heads around. The website that I will be building alongside the articles has a name:

Organic Sanity

As you will have already figured out from the above link, it also has a domain and is hosted. There isn’t much to see just yet as I want to put the site together in real time alongside the publication of each new article, so it may take a couple of weeks to morph into something that looks like a professional site.

But time is relative, here. Someone reading these articles as I publish them will see time moving slowly as the website grows piece by piece, graphic by graphic, page by page. Someone else coming in and reading the articles once they’re all published will see only a finished site - but don’t let that put anyone off - there are a set of tutorial pages that you can open (or will be able to open as I publish each new article) that will show the website in it’s various stages of development.

So you will, in the coming weeks, have the choice to read the articles and look at the tutorial pages to see the site unfurling in real time, or take the impatient route and just open the finished site and try to figure out how I built it (not recommended).

So a short piece about the site itself. As the name, Organic Sanity might suggest, the theme of the site will be organic produce - specifically the niche will be organic gardening as this is a topic that is very close to my heart and one that I know quite a bit about - and one that interests me big time! I’ll be aiming to get the site into a money making position as well, because what’s the point of building a professional site if you’re not going to use it to earn some online beer vouchers. (That’s organic beer, if you like!)

I can’t think of a more Honest Way to make some online cash than with good, down to earth (pun intended!) organic produce linked to some solid organically themed products and ebooks. Can you?

Until next time…
