Homestead Blog

Many of you have already heard of the Homestead Connection, a site started by a Homestead member as a helpful resource for people using SiteBuilder and other Homestead tools to build their websites. To quote the site, it’s a place where “you’ll find tips, FAQs and other useful information to assist you in presenting your site in the best possible light.” We thought we’d invite the head of that site to introduce it to readers of the blog. Hope you find it helpful! - Rochelle

The Homestead Connection Forum is a community of individuals who use Homestead’s website design software. It is member-owned, and was started to offer “Homesteaders” a place to seek answers to questions, share knowledge and learn new ways of enhancing Homestead-designed sites. The driving force of the Forum is the willingness of members to provide answers to posts based on their knowledge and experience.

Members have access to information on everything from search engine optimization and site design to tools and tips. There are currently over 4800 posts on the Forum. This collection of knowledge and information, together with the ability to ask questions in “real time”, provides Homestead users with an extensive resource for obtaining solutions to common issues associated with producing a quality website.

HC members have the option of adding their site to the Member Directory as well as being able to add an active link to the site in their signature. These options help to increase search engine awareness of member sites.

The Forum is not intended as a replacement for Homestead’s Help Sections or Technical Support. HC is offered as an additional resource for Homestead users so they can get timely answers to questions, and to help new users become familiar with the programs.

There is also a Homestead Connection site designed to be a ‘partner’ to the Forum that offers helpful guides and tutorials. The HC Forum and website, together with Homestead’s tech support, give users access to a comprehensive foundation of information and assistance to help with building their Homestead designed site.

If you aren’t a member I encourage you to visit the Forum and join the active community of Homestead users who are succeeding on the WWW. This is an opportunity to learn new ideas and to share the knowledge you have gained with others. The door is always open.
