Free Resources to Help Build and Maintain a Web Presence
In my journey to establish a useful web presence, I have encountered and availed myself of some useful free services. Other Newbies with lots of time and few financial resources may find these useful as they teach themselves about survival on the web.
FREE ONLINE E-MAIL SERVICES
These days, if you join almost any internet service, you get free e-mail. However, I've found these to be particularly useful. Some offer special filtering; some offer the ability read e-mail from several accounts in one place. Some offer to "alert you when a message arrives." Most offer the ability to download messages to your hard drive.Angelfire Mail Angelfire Mail service not only allows you to have a "Lifetime" online e-mail address, it allows you to "filter in" messages. In other words, you have the choice of telling this service to filter out messages you don't want or to only accept certain mail, and reject ALL others, eliminating SPAM completely.
Bigfoot Bigfoot is an e-mail forwarding/compiling/filtering service. No matter how often you move around, change e-mail providers, or if you have several e-mail accounts, you only need to give out one e-mail address that will be good for life. If you're tired of all the spam you're getting in your Hotmail account, filter it through Bigfoot first. They don't like spam, and will probably cut yours by 50% or more.
Yahoo! Mail Access your e-mail from any computer that has internet access, and be alerted when new mail arrives. All Yahoo functions become available to you when you sign up for Yahoo! Mail.
Hotmail Access your e-mail from any computer that has internet access. Access mail from other kinds of accounts. But don't look for much help with spam.
HINT: If you want to find out who's abusing your e-mail information (selling/giving it away), open a free e-mail account for each e-zine you receive and each bulletin board or usegroup you post to. The ones that fill up with Spam indicate lists that are not protecting your info, or the ones frequented by spammers harvesting addresses. You can then resign/unsubscribe from the group/e-zine and close the free account, or just close the free account and open another to which you can transfer your group/e-zine subscription until the next time your mailbox fills with spam. Of course, if you subscribe to 20 or 30 zines/lists/usegroups, it could be cumbersome remembering and logging into and out of all those accounts ;^>! I, personally, don't have time for more than 1 or 2 groups at a time.
FREE ONLINE WEB-SITE HOSTS:
Angelfire Angelfire is as complete and flexible a free web site host as I have found. (I have had three different hosted web sites.)SITE BUILDING AND ENHANCEMENTS:Tripod Tripod was not as flexible as Angelfire or as "user friendly"; however, it has improved since Lycos took them both over. It's an altogether interesting and powerful free host.

Navigation and Contact Info:
Contact Person: Lynda Karr (FYI: Mrs., but we don't stand on ceremony around here.)
Contact Preference: E-mail--see instructions below.
Confidentiality
All communications of any type with A Last Look are private and confidential, and may not be stored by any means or shared in any manner with anyone else without the written permission of Lynda Karr. Communications from you are accorded the same rights. Your e-mail address is never shared with anyone else without your express permission except as demanded by the law. If you receive a communication from me by mistake, you may not use anything in it for your personal gain or for the personal gain or detriment of others, and you should notify me at once, delete the communication, and ignore its contents.Message Instructions: I'm eager to hear from you, but thanks to UCE/SPAM and address-harvesting robots, I had to devise a method of masking my e-mail addresses and/or weeding out serious inquiries from junkmail. My method is to (1) provide a new e-mail address whenever spam overtakes me and (2) provide subject lines for you to use that robots can't use.
(1) If you don't need me now but think you might in the future, bookmark this page and come back here to click on the current e-mail address when you need me. Once you become a client/networker, you'll be given my permanent address.
(2) To enable my e-mail program to filter your message properly, please type or copy-and-paste one of the following subject lines into the subject line of your message. I look at messages with these subject lines first and the rest of my messages when I get around to it. Once I become familiar with your address, you won't need to worry about this step.
I may need a proofreader and/or copyeditor.
I am a proofreader and/or copyeditor.
I'd like to be a proofreader and/or copyeditor.
I have a comment about A Last Look and/or your Web site.Then click on the "Send e-mail" link.
Once you've clicked on the link, your e-mail program will pop up. Right-click in the Subject line, and click paste to enter the subject line you chose from those above (or just type it in). Then, compose your message including how I should address you in my response, at least your general location (city, time zone), a phone number at which you can be reached in case e-mail ceases to work, and a short outline of what you are hoping to accomplish. If you are requesting a free estimate, please attach your project file(s) or a file containing a few pages from the middle of your project.
Send e-mail
To send a personal message, write a subject line that includes the name I would know you by, like "Do you remember Lynda Sandford, from Maple Shade, NJ?", and click on the following link: Hi, LyndaHaving trouble? If mailer daemon returns your message or if the links above don't appear to work for you, send your message directly to me at dzntwrk (means the link or your e-mail "doesn't work") @alastlook.com, but please don't forget the subject-line instructions above.
If you are a potential client and do not receive a reply from me within one business day, it may be because your e-mail host treats mail from Yahoo.com as spam. Check with your provider to see if placing my yahoo address in your filters or address book will negate that block. If so, send me a message telling me that, and I'll send you the yahoo address to put in your filters or address book (via my ISP e-mail, currently handtechisp.com). If putting my yahoo address in your program won't work, please resend your request, and tell me your e-mail host won't accept yahoo mail. Hopefully your e-mail host will accept mail from my ISP. I move around a bit and my ISP can change, so I prefer to use stable, continuous, able-to-be-reached-from-any-computer Yahoo.
If you are a potential networker or newbie/wannabe, you won't hear from me until network activity increases and I am once again accepting applicants or I have new pages on the site that may be of interest to you. I will keep your information on file for that purpose and that purpose alone.
Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you, even if it is to complain about my site (grin)! If you know what you want and I know who you are, you can use the following buttons to fund your retainer.
