Hi everyone, Wanting to get the word out! Been doing some investigations in 2012 but haven't posted them yet. My current website of www.freespiritinvestigations,web.officelive.com expires 4/30/12. Microsoft is shutting down all free sites and wants people to go to Office 365...free for 6 months than roughly $6/month thereafter. I've created and submitted two new websites to Google, Bing and Yahoo. I hope they're on line soon enough. One is freespiritinvestigations.weebly.com and the other will be freespiritinvestigations.webs.com. Both have pictures but no audio yet. Weebly site has more investigation details. Webs site better pix. Why not combine them? I WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT! Thank you. Carol

I just stopped in to visit, they both look really good - If I had to choose, I would say the Weebly site is a little better. Though I think that is more an issue of taste rather than a statement on quality.
Oh! Just a hint - go to your profile here and create a signature with your website as a live link. Google et. al. will then recognize every post you have made here as a 'backlink' to your sites and it will help your search engine ratings

Hello there,
Thanks for the advice. How did you access the weebly and webs sites as other people said it's not on line yet? Also, I went into my profile and typed in the web name and URL. Nothing showed up. Any advice on that? Carol

Both sites looked good but I prefer the weebly site. The white background is easier for me to read and the side bar feels more intuitive, less cluttered.

Hello there, Thanks for the advice. How did you access the weebly and webs sites as other people said it's not on line yet? Also, I went into my profile and typed in the web name and URL. Nothing showed up. Any advice on that? Carol I just copy/pasted the website into my browser and both went directly there so I'm not sure what the problem is on that. But for running a live link in your signature you'll need to go to 'modify profile' and under the 'signature' box put the full web address of your sites - give each it's own line. (The boxes in the modify profile area for website name and address will only show your websites to someone viewing your profile.) Hope this helps!

Thanks Razor and fbnstephen for the input on the websites. When looking at the weebly site, it does look a lot better than just the writing from the officelive one. I need to update the webs site with 2011 and 2012 investigations, then will change over from weebly to webs.
I know I'm rehashing this, but once a person takes a lot of time to create a website and is told their site is shutting down, sign up for a new one with costs down the road, I am in forward drive and more than motivated to create another one for free. Webs allows only 10 pages on a free site, but that site will be even more impressive (at least to me...including some of my pix taken at various places). Weebly charges people for audio; webs doesn't and down the road I want to add audio as well, or post to Youtube. This is all new to me (digital this and that), while many others are so use to it. The age of technology and I'm finally catching up.
Again thanks for the input! Profile modified. Carol

You can use www.soundcloud.com to host your audio for free and link to it from weebly if you prefer the weebly format. I'm not suprised that microsoft wants out of the 'free' website market - I am curious as to what improvements the new format will have for $6 a month.

Just modified my profile with the other new website of freespiritinvestigations.webs.com. Still a bit of a work in progress and need to post some of 2011 investigations and eventually get EVPs into it. It's been fun.
Investigated an old Wauwatosa mansion just over a week ago and another one on 4/28, then will post info on them. May brings another old place near the airport. Carol.............
