  1. I am determined to launch a static website, but really have little idea how to start the process. I have had some exposure to dreamweaver and thus know a little html, but all sites i have worked on where already set up, and loaded on my assigned computer. I don't know what happens before it gets to my computer and am hoping this forum will give me some guidance. 1. I have saved my URL with GoDaddy 2. I have not secured hosting as I'm not sure whether to go with godaddy or a server at SoftLayer, which a friend has said I can use for free. 3. I found a template that I like at www.perfectory.com, that I haven't bought because I only have access to download the link for 3 days and I'm not sure i can do what needs to be done in that amount of time. So... A. If I choose Softlayer, how do I direct the URL to that server, assuming that if i stay at godaddy they will do this for me? also what is an A record and an MX record? i have heard of both but not familiar with them either. B. Once the server is in place, how do i download the template to a server? C. Once the template is downloaded, how do i keep the site from being published while i am changeing pictures and copy as i assume this will take me a couple of days and will need to get approval from my 1st Client:) ? D. Finally, how do i set up an email address so that the name is associated with the URL? Thanks in advance for any and all comments, help, and guidance.
