Suggestions about program sharing site? Softopedia?

[DataLife]

I have used the FREE option for several years on webs.com.

Here is what I found from their Terms of Service.

Your 30-day free trial begins when you complete your registration. After the 30-day trial period, you will automatically be billed at the rate of $9.95 per month for the Enhanced Package's monthly plan, unless you upgrade (during or after your trial period) to an annual package. Cancel at any time by visiting the account billing page.

They are referring to 1 of the 3 paid options. The free option does not have a "trial" period.

Weebly is great when compared to all others out there. Very fast in creating presentable websites..
Just created a test site

[joedf]

Also, they Make your website automatically formatted for mobiles too :

Cool, another website creator, and it sounds like a good one.

I've been thinking about what I should name my website title and domain name. My first thought for site title is, "DangerdogL2121's Computer Programs" or, "DangerdogL2121's Scripts." But then I realized that the name dangerdogL2121 is kind of rough sounding and my programs would probably get less downloads. I didn't make the name for my computer programming, I made it for an online videogame and have been using it ever since.
So I ask you, what should I name my website and domain?

Danger, you old dog!

Checking the URL of Avi's Test Page, it looks like you won't have to worry about a domain name using weebly.

Your name in the URL could be something like this ...
http://ddog.weebly.com/

And your page title something like this ...
<title>dDog's AHk Scripts - Home</title>

Just a thought

or two

Great

[dangerdogL2121]

Sorry about the big delay.

Weebly sounds like a good site host.

Well, I did something that probably wasn't so smart. I changed my name to Datadog on my website.
Here it is: http://datadogscomputerprograms.webs.com/
Its a long way from finished.

@ErrorOnLine2
Thank you for your suggestions. I was too late to use them for my domain name and site title.
@Everyone
thank you for your help and expertise

I try to make all my ahk scripts in a single file, and host them on gist (github). The biggest advantage with gist is that the forums support

Code: Select all

[gist]gistnumber[/gist]

tags, so you just have to update your gist to update the code in your forum post. For images, icons and webpage I use dropbox. And I use http://pancakeapps.com to get a nice address for my dropbox page.

No problem, Danger.

Datadog is good.

[dangerdogL2121]

When I type http://datadogscomputerprograms.webs.com in the google search bar, it says that there are no documents that match the search. But that is the right address for my website.

So no one can find my site on google? I have to give them the link?
thanks

[joedf]

well first of all... google just doesnt "do" full site addresses
but you can submit it, so that it will be added, here is the link for that:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/a ... 2276?hl=en

cheers!

[dangerdogL2121]

So I have to have a Google account to do that. I can never remember the password and username for those. : |
I think I'll just let the "spiders" add it to the google search.
thanks

[joedf]

i have just added it for you but "Google doesn't guarantee that it will be added" to their index..
They probably will though

[dangerdogL2121]

thanks
And also I hadn't "confirmed" my webs account when I did that test, so might of been the problem as well.
-------------------------------
I just check and it worked. But for some reason Google search doesn't have a discription for the site. Do I need to put in a discription for google to show for my site? Maybe its something with webs.
thanks

[joedf]

I'm glad that it worked.
For a description, you have to add the meta-tag
Name description: blah blah...

[dangerdogL2121]

Yeah, I found it on webs and made a discription for the site.
thanks joe
