ThaiPauly Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi, I am looking for someone who has some time to spare and would like to earn a bit of money by teaching me all there is to know about computers. I am prepared to pay a reasonable daily rate to anyone who is qualified enough to teach a beginer -up to creating my own website for my Wife's restaurant. I am sorry to admit that I am a complete computer nerd. If you have the time, need the money and have your own transport please PM me. Cheers TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingDutchman Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) I've developed an 'instant web site', maybe you could be the one to test it ? Is very simple and set up for 'nitwits'. It's undergoing it's final tests. You'd just have to be a little patient but it'll cost you nothing, not even the site. However ... Besides then when I visit your restaurant in the future.

rishi Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 "All there is to know about computers" is quite of a mouthfull. However - assuming you are making you're posts in person - you're not an absolute beginner. You know the basics of computer usage - and that's actually a pretty good start. I think you can refine you requirements to something like "..... someone who can introduce me to and teach me how to use that handful of tools required to build a website". It'll take a few months before I'm ready to enter that sort of business (and it will be business, not hobby), but now you hereby have the means to put a limit on how long time your education might take.

Maejo Man Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 A very good friend of mine suggested a book I should read and learn years ago, when I was starting web page design. I'll make the same suggestion to you..... HTML for the world wide web by Elizabeth Castro ISBN 0-201-35493-4 It's worth it's weight in gold as a reference book, and it will have you putting web pages together in a matter of days....Maejo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Speaking of free programs, let me offer up webford 2.01 as one option I've been using for a number of years to do simple html coding, like with images, text, colors, etc. A WYSIWYG, in it's most basic form. Nothing as difficult-looking as most other html editors. Simple and fast. And free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions guys. What I am really looking for is someone who would be willing to come to my place 3 days a week to as Rishi said to help me understand all the OTHER things that one can do with a computer besides write e-mails , letters, check Bank Accounts, etc....Like using Photoshop, how to upload pics onto the computer and e-mail them/edit them, troubleshoot when things go wrong, delete cookies etc. One TV Member has kindly offered to build the wesite for our restaurant for free, but I really still need to know all the other stuff . I have had one offer of personal help so far but I don't know where it will lead. Many thanks TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTriple Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi, If your current offer doesn't work out, let me know, I can help with the topics you list and probably more besides. Cheers Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
