Web Site Creation

Before today, I pretty much had no clue how to create a website. I have always wanted to know how you register a domain name and how it works...and now I do. I thought the readings made the process and IT lingo easy to understand. IT can be intimidating if you don't know anything, but it is not as difficult to learn as one might think.
Of course, I would stick to standard Website hosting.

I also liked these tips of things to avoid when deciding on a domain name:
-dashes
-phrases that look confusing in lowercase
-names that don’t match your business
-settling for a .org or .net, over a .com

Additionally, I would like to add that intranets are very useful. I have used one at my work since I started 1.5 years ago and can't imagine what we would do without it. Although it is underused when it comes to people posting interesting articles and such, it is a great place to put company templates, hr documents, and a link to Deltek (our database that includes timesheets used by all) It is the homepage for everyone in the company.
