Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks
–Writing For The Internet
Who said it couldn’t be done? Never
before has their been so many older folks who are computer
literate and who have the time and ability to set up their own
websites. Writing for the internet is a great skill for
them to acquire, and building a website to be the vehicle
for the publication is a skill worth acquiring. For
user-friendliness XsitePro has to be their software of
choice.
In the past it has been the preserve of
experts to build websites. Young myopic computer nerds
who speak that mysterious html language. XsitePro has
changed this and now just about anyone with a computer and
internet connection can build their own
website.
A website can open up a whole new world for people.
While some older folks are not as mobile as they used to be,
their active minds thrive on the stimulation of telling others
about their hobbies, travels, favorite recipes – some may have
had a very interesting life that they would like to publish in
an ebook, complete with photos.
Their church group or favorite charity
might appreciate them building a website on their behalf and
then using their writing skills to provide content - articles,
news items etc. XsitePro can take them through the
process in an easy to understand format.
The XsitePro tutorial takes around 2
hours to complete, and you don’t need to do it in one
sitting. At the end of this the aspiring webmaster will
be able to construct a simple site in a matter of hours.
Digital photos are a snap to add, and really enhance the
readability of the website pages.
With XSitePro it
is even simple to add audio and video to your website.
Sometimes the personal touch of a short audio or video
introduction adds a 'human' element to a website, and creates a
personal bond between the website owner and reader. It
builds credibility which in turn will lead to more sales if
this is the purpose of the site.
Then once your website is up to a
standard with which you are happy, and you have followed the
steps in the tutorial, a simple press of the ‘publish’ button
will see your website go ‘live’. If you want to add or
change anything, is as simple as opening up your website file,
make the changes, save them, then hit the ‘publish’ button
again.
Amaze your friends and family – with
XsitePro there is really nothing stopping you from building
your own website and becoming an internationally published
author.
