I log on. I decide to be adventurous and add a second page . . . just try it out to see how it works.

MISTAKE!!!

Well, I don't think going to page 2 was a mistake, but something happened that I can't explain.

Mr. Computer was a bit sluggish that evening (I have dial-up, so sluggish is not only terrible, it's scary!) and I decided to get back to page 1 and log out.

As godaddy's site builder provides no information on the status of a keystroke command, I wait and wait and wait. Finally, there's a big flash of colors on the screen. It looks like page 1 and page 2 are trying to display at the same time. In the middle of the mess, a small yellow rectangular box appears. I have just enough time (about 1 second) to see the word "failure" in the box before it vanishes. There are other words in that little box, too -- even a colon -- but "failure" was the one that caught my eye.

I sat there with my eyes and my mouth wide open.

I couldn't -- wouldn't is probably more accurate -- believe what had just happened.

You know this little guy?

Well, he's actually named "confused" but sometimes he looks more like "brain fried" to me, which is exactly how I felt at the moment.

I thought maybe I would cry, but I couldn't. I deserved a good cry, dang it!

Knowing everything was either a big mess (which maybe I could solve over time) or completely lost (in which case I was going to buy some hari kari implements), I logged completely out of the website and logged back in.

Where does one find hari kari implements in south Orange County at 11 o'clock at night? Yep, everything I had moved to page 2 (which was most of the site) was gone. I had a few of my initial lines of text, but the meat of the site was conspicuous by it's absence.

I turned off the computer and walked away.

It took about a week for me to get back to that website. I found it as I had left it, forlorn and sad-looking.

I copied what was on the site over to Word and started working from there. Got alot done. Copied it back to the website. Looked good. Typed some more in Word and copied that to the website. Decided to see what logging out would do (supposedly, it automatically saves). Logged back on; everything I had copied from Word was gone.

Tried again, thinking I had missed a step. Same result.

I figured out what was wrong, but I can't fix it. I am at a loss.

So, I guess what I need now is my own "builder" that I can transfer/copy over to my site, yes?

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and did I mention that the site builder is called "Web Site Tonite"????
