Hello all computer experts that know more than I do. I am almost to the age of 60 and have always wondered what web developers do or what they are. My definition of web developers are peoplethat can make web pages for like a business, or to promote something, really just anything in general that would have a picture, or even a design, or just maybe words on it. Then I start to wonder, do I really want to be one.

Booking on-line can be a hazardous process if you don't really know what exactly it is that you are doing. I myself speak from bitter experience, having once accidentally booked a nuclear war between Iceland and Belgium while simply trying to book some train tickets.

Shopping on-line is smart and keeps pace with today’s economic difficulties here in the United States. I refuse to use a bank that doesn’t have the option of on-line banking. With On-Line Shopping there should never be a reason to go off of the budget. Paying the bills also has never been so easy. By accessing financial accounts, any time of the day or night, keeping track of what you have to spend is so convenient. With just a few special key strokes, it is now possible to see our balances, charges, checks, and deposits. I know exactly when a payment or deposit has cleared every day of the week. With On-line Banking we have another time saving convenience. Anyone with Internet Explorer can make it as easy and fast as it can be. On-line Shopping also helps me from making those extra purchases I didn’t have to have; I probably would have made if I had gone to the store. Those things you see at the checkout counter; they dangle in front of us. Those great American products like cokes, candy and magazines just to name a few. On-line shopping is also convenient because of smart web design’s out there today. I can even find web designed websites that are geared for the kind of shopping I’m doing. In this way my Internet explorer helps me get the things I am looking for a how much I am spending. By things like a cart with the list and a balance for what’s in the cart at the top of that site’s web page. It doesn’t matter where I roam on the website that information is always there. I keep a list of the site’s I like to use and my Internet explorer is always handy with a click and I am there again. Almost all of our bills are paid instantly with auto bill pay and getting into the bank website by on-line banking is a simple and smart way to check those payments are made. All bills that can't be setup for auto bill pay are payable through their website on-line. Today's banking and shoppingonline can help make our family life richer. So much extra time spent together.

I love shopping. There was a time when I would spend all day window shopping, never actually buying anything, just going from shop to shop and trying things on. Nowadays I prefer buying on-line. The web design of some Internet sites are very attractive and encourage you to go from page to page to see what is available. Advertising on-line is so prevalent that it is fairly easy to find what you are looking for, and most sites have either a Chat Room or a forum for you to discuss your buying experience.

Published Monday, 8th Jun 19:06 BST

Today we had something interesting come in the mail from our On-Line investing group. We have been looking at our retirement fund less and less. With the market in such a mess, our connection to the economy has been painful for us to watch.When we surf the web you don't have to be hit over the head to see just how bad it has been. We knew if we moved it out we would lose and lock in all that we had lost the past year. We wanted to avoid most of that if at all possible. I watch the news every day and we get all sorts of email on the subject (economy), hundreds in fact of junk mail as well. Like everyone else in the country, we see the signs of the economy coming back up and easing. Of course that is wonderfully optimistic, our retirement fund isn’t reflecting much of a change from the huge drop we experienced. The On-Line Investing group has a website and the web design is very useful. We have links to helpful tools that are very easy to follow. One can find information on the subject of On-Line Investing, just begin to Surf The Web. No one who tries to surf the web I have ever met hated it. It doesn't take very long to start getting a Connection to the wonderful world all around us. It’s always a pleasure to go into the On-Line Investing website whether or not we like what kind balances we find or not. It's always informative. Never fails to astonish me how fast we can get important things done so quickly. Tearing open the envelope I found a letter from the investment group informing us of changes to our on-line investing website. They have added links to help us begin again. First things first I had to get a connection going from ournetwork and get into investing groups website. I wanted to get the list of the stock funds we have in our listings and all the balances printed out. Then I had to print out the new stock funds that had been added. Next I would get started on the new program that they had implemented into the website’s web design. Hopefully before too long we would have a plan in place to begin the task of rebuilding our future.

Published Monday, 8th Jun 18:05 BST

It’s not every day you find aninternet provider that will come from 70 miles away to fix a problem and do it in so quickly. That’s exactly what happened twice in as many weeks. I thought at first it was just some software problem with my network. I finally called the Internet Provider we use for technical support. The internet provider informed me they were having problems with the signal from my modem and would try to reset it from there that this had nothing to do with my network or any of myPersonal Computers or a PC.That was a relief of course, but short lived when they couldn’t fix it from there. I was told my case number and that a repairman would be contacting me on the matter. I passed the time by getting into each PC and having all of them run diagnostics. I understood this repair process could take a long time to get resolved. I might as well use the time wisely. I could use the time to clean up the PC. It’s really not hard thing to do. Finding the time to get it done though can be a problem. We have four teenagers in this house. Time is always a factor. Besides, I needed to check each one and with the network offline, this was going to give me that time.Often times what you think is going to be isn't quite the same. Actually the repairman was here two days later. I had time to run all of the diagnostics on the entire network PCsthough so it all worked out. The internet provider wasn't so lucky. The repair didn't hold. Less than a week later, the connection was dead again. A call to technical support and another appointment made with repair took another week. I went over to my parents’ home and paid our bills online. I just love mom and dad's home page. They worked on the web design with a different program than I have and it's so great.While I was online I noticed several of our web designs on the main page were updated for our home page. Mom and I talked about how the net had been running slow and she was having problems with her pages running out of time to load. She thinks that the problem was with the hub andthe internet provider was using the down time to perform maintenance. I guess that's possible. Why doesn't she do the same thing? I told her what I had been doing with all of our PCs on our network; she asked me to do the same with her and dads. I guess we all needed the time to get maintenance done, anyway.

I use the Internet on a daily basis and I appreciate that there has to be Advertising on-line but what I don't appreciate is the amount of spam that is attached to most of the advertising on-line, it doesn't seem to matter what kind of Web Design a site has they can hide spam in it anywhere, you click on one screen which you wish to view and all of a sudden half a dozen spam pop ups appear on your screen it is so annoying, the only way that I find you can stop that is by using sites that you need a user name to view, then again by the time you have found a user name that is not in use and been through the whole signing up process it is just as quick to close the pop up spam screens.

Published Monday, 1st Jun 23:59 BST

I use the Internet for almost all of my shopping. The Internet is right at my finger tips with my Browser; and if I like a sites web design I will use it often. Those sites that offer email newsletters for advertising their sales are a constant in my Email inbox. While I do enjoy getting those and have signed up for all of them through my browser, there is almost always some junk email attached to them in some way. I find that is the case because I didn't sign up to receive this extra junk, but they seem to find me somehow. I have hit the send and receive button on the email program and literally have had a window stall for all the emails coming in. Hundreds at a time come rolling in through my Internet connection. While almost all of these I just highlight and delete, I will inevitably delete something I needed to see.

What's the worst thing that you get on your computer for me it has to be junk email, if i don't go online for a week or so i can come back to well over a thousand in my junk email box its ridiculous. It is all down to the web design of the sites you go on, I wish I know how they did it as I think there should be a moderator for every new web design before its allowed to be available to your computer.

Don't you hate a some sites where the web design looks great until you click on something then some how you automatically sign up to something and don't know about it, next thing you know you are receiving junk email left right and centre. My Internet connection has problems with on-line shopping sites one web design in particular it slows my whole Internet Connection down, the web design must have so much content that it can't cope.

Published Friday, 22nd May 17:49 BST

Web design is such a complex thing i never really knew how complex until i tried to do a web design of my own, i took a little time to do some research on my computer I had recently changed my broadband provider so i now wasnt limited to the amount of time i could spend on here, if only i had taken the time to thoroughly go through and search for a good Broadband Provider when i had got my computer but instead i went with the one who provided my telephone line and what a mistake that was, although they were one of the biggest companies out there, this particular broadband provider promised the earth yet delivered far less. I couldn't wait until my contract had ran out and i could get a new broadband provider, i had great delight in phoning my old broadband provider and telling them exactly where they could stick there contract.
