Knowing little about websites and the fact that mine had been pulled from a server

I put an ad here and trusted someone who kept telling me to not worry about cost or anything for that matter.

Now it turns out he doesnt want to do the changes I need or fix or update or add pictures.

I need someone who will be honest and will not try to f*** me over.

If you can help please email me asap
 
Kind of needy aren't you? You joined a month ago and have almost 240 posts, in the last week you have asked for a laptop, an apartment and now help with the Internet. Sheesh, what did you do pre-terb?

Why get down on someone who is asking for help? :rolleyes:
 
No worries, we all need a little help from time to time, just seems like this one needs a lot of help, hence the term needy.

And what specifically is your problem with that?
 
Personally speaking I think it is cool that some members could help out with a link to a rental site and Kacy offering use of an old laptop.

It sure beats the guy (not you) whining about someone's grammar/spelling or the infighting that goes on here a lot. :)
 
Sorry I asked guys...didn't mean to seem needy but I also don't like being ripped off by people who promise things and than don't follow thru..my fault, my problem.

Have a good day
 
In order to make modifications you will need to get the username and password he uses to access the server.

Now the problem is that you cannot modify the website without his permission because it is copyrighted as any artistic creation. But let's be clear, the contents as your image, pictures and text are all yours, but the way he has designed the website is his own property - unless you can prove that it was created with a website template.

If he is refusing any modification, then you have to start all over by asking him to remove the contents from the server and ask for another person to do a new website.
 
The problem with websites is that they need maintenance. And that is not always inexpensive.

Your best bet is to do it yourself - a simple website like yours, in terms of html code, it's very much do'able if you have a computer and an internet connection.
 
That is what I hoped for...but than apparently according to this guy I am not access to my own site.

O well I found someone to do it for me, for a reasonable price and I won't be posting for anymore advice since apparently I seem "needy"

I personally didn't realize asking for advice on a subject you know little about or asking for help for trained professionals was "needy" I always thought it was called networking.

But than I have been told I have been wrong before

Thanks to those that gave advice it was appreciated.

You were not wrong at all. Don't listen to that blockhead.
You can get the most amazing help and advice here.
As they tell you in school, it is never wrong to ask.

When I was in a tough situation, I got better advice
on cancer treatment here than I got from the doctors. Seriously.

You are a sweet guy but you know it struck a little to close to home for me.

If I didn't know better I would have thought that was my ex husband telling me how I can't seem to do anything for myself.

It is better to stay away than be slapped down again and again.

Hell I was even blasted for posting so many times...I didn't realize that having a good time with those puzzles you guys leave on here was a crime. I love those makes my brain work...lol and I can't help but indulge.

Keep a mental picture of the typical Terb member as someone sitting in
the basement of his parents bungalow, feverishly looking for an argument
or something to complain about.

BuffNaked is right: Ignore the trolls.

You care to much about what strangers think about you on the internet. Ignore the trolls.

LOL. I don't know about that, danmand.

Nikki, if you have to take out a new domain name, ensure the person ordering it for you has you listed as the administrative contact. Also make sure the email address in the contact information is one you will be keeping for a while.

In the future, if you get screwed around by a website designer or hosting firm, you can switch to another more easily.

This is a great site for networking and getting help. Feel free to ask anytime and don't worry if some members try to impose their own values on you. Just one of the less pleasant aspects of open forums.
Hope you are successful in your web dreams!
Cheers
