My website saga - part 2

[Traci Pearson <pearsontechcomm -at- comcast -dot- net>]

Hi all!
It took two and a half weeks more, but I finally 
got my domain name transferred from WhoIs.com to 
GoDaddy.com. My website still isn't up and 
running, but that's because of me. And I'll still 
be looking to GoDaddy for some help on some 
things, but I think it'll run smoothly.

WhoIs was painfully slow in responding to online 
queries, which is the only way to contact them. 
Their interface is non-intuitive, and their FAQs 
not only don't match their interface but only are 
for people want to use WhoIs.com, not transfer away.

GoDaddy's online help isn't much better, and 
their interface is also non-intuitive and too 
busy...confusing. So I've had to resort to 
calling them for help. The first customer service 
person I talked to was wonderful! The second was 
lousy, and had me seriously reconsidering my 
decision to go with GoDaddy. Luckily the third 
and fourth were fine. Let's hope that's the norm.

I've made a simple template for my website and am 
working on the content. This is so easy for me to 
do for someone else and so hard to do for myself. 
It won't be perfect when I go live, but that's the way these things go!

Thank you once again to everyone who shared such 
wonderful suggestions and comments!

Most sincerely yours,
Traci Pearson
