Hi everybody...I am Sunkist! I have my own domain name, but I use a free greeting card site. I want to be able to make my own greeting card site so that I can put ads on the site. Is that possible here? What do I need to do that? I think its a cgi bin, but I don't know for certain. If a free host is not the way to do it, what is the best way to set up an electronic greeting card page on my site?

That all depends on what you want your greeting card site to do. What do you want it to do?

Hi:

Thanks for your reply. I am actually looking for the software to set up the greeting card site.

I already have the cards designed.

I want users to be able to send a greeting card (one that is designed) to a friend. They will get an email, click on the email, and be brought to the site with the greeting card. Nothing fancy, just a standard e-greeting card site.

If you plan to have a large number of greeting cards, you'll want to use a database your site organized. MySQL would work. If you don't have that many cards, you could just use html, giving every card its own page. Then you could add some boxes to the bottom of each page in which the visitor can enter his/her friend's email address and a personal comment. You would need a script to handle this, but it would not have to be very complex.

If you want to personalize the actual content of the greeting card, well that's a whole different matter, entirely.
