New Web Address


Well, I had to change the URL address of my site because the previous one had this awful adds right at the top of a page which really spoiled the design concept. I contacted  the administrator to find out if there is a way to remove them and he told me that if I don't want adds I can always upgrade (which is paid, certainly). Moreover, trypod.com does not support php files which was necessary for the contact form to work properly. I wouldn't be able to receive any of those interesting comments you are going to send me.

I remained in touch with the creator of the contact file and he recommended that I use another host and he emailed me the entire list of different sites that provide this type of service. I tried many and picked this one because of the domain name I'll be using, which is 


It wasn't without it's complications. I was very confused with the URL I was given on a permanent bases (until the domain is activated). It all worked but the URL address contained 10-digit number and nothing to do we me or journalism. I contacted the administrator then, who fixed the problem within 5 minuts. As a result, I have my site, my cool URL address and a free host.

My site URL

I was just trying to find a server that I could upload my site to but although everyone claims it's free they all charge either for domain of for web hosting. Well I bought a domain matuszewska.me.uk but don't know what to do with it next. I also followed a friend's recommendation and signed up for tripod.lycos.com and even managed to upload some pages in progress just to be sure it works. 

My website address is http://k0624363.tripod.com/
The only thing I don't like is that there are some ads right at the top of my page and I don't know if I can get rid of them...
