Getting Started
Submitted by rogerwebb on Fri, 02/05/2008 - 13:42.Getting a website of this complexity up is a great challenge especially as, with limited funds, it has to be done using free open-source software. The software is great, but the guys who write are much more interested in new concepts and facilities than in documenting their stuff properly or in solving 'bugs' that users find.
Nevertheless it is amazing to think that this stuff is available for nothing (if not 'for free')
We often get stuck on the really technical stuff because the software writers assume we're all as up-to-speed as the are - fat chance.
Safety on the Internet

Use your common sense
But also, don't get paranoid - there are risks everywhere - crossing the road is a risk. Take sensible precautions and use the web as your window to the world.
