What Fun is Not...

I'm determined to put the Fun into Flight Simulator...

...good thing...

...otherwise...

...the challenge of bringing up a website...

...is anything but fun.

Here's just a few of the issues I've dealt with this week.

Domain names; registering domain names; ISP hosting; Microsoft FrontPage; HTML; ASP; Inspecting 100s of website templates; selecting a template; buying the template; editing the template; soliciting bids on Elance for a music score; responding to bidder's questions on Elance; selecting a bidder; terms, conditions & payments; finding a Media Hosting facility; learning about Media Hosting; Adobe Premiere; recording FSX sessions to a DV camera; capturing DV footage into Premiere; editing in Premiere; encoders; codecs; compression; AVI, FLV, FLW, WMV, WMA, MOV files; bit rates (constant- and variable-); search engines; Google AdWords; Yahoo Search Marketing; ecommerce; shopping carts; payment gateways; payment processors; SSL Certificates; Windows Media Player ActiveX Plug-in; EMail Communication systems; just to name a few.

Maybe my next venture should be How to Create a Media E-Commerce Site?

Until then, I'll be pleased to answer your questions about what I've learned in the website/ecommerce/media realm. And then--sometime soon--this blog will get back to having fun with Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX).

Keep the Shiny Side Up,
Plane Wryter
