I just signed up for my domain and webhosting last week. I'm not sure how long it takes for it all to be running but over the weekend I started re-working my pages for the big relaunch.
I had hoped that by the time I got my domain I'd be much more advanced in my web skills and I was going to get all creative and design a fancy new page with rollovers and flash and my own graphics. Not quite there yet but I did change the background colors and I spent all day Saturday learning about styles sheets which I am going to be implementing and I'm not going to test the site on too many browsers so I'm sure there will be trouble.
