As probably many of you know, today, there has cropped up a problem with Facebook.  I’m hoping that it is being worked on by Facebook and is resolved soon.

The problem is that while logged into your Facebook account, you are reminded to log in again.  Once you go to log in, it tells you now that you must register a phone number to verify that you are a real person.  So, Facebook then tells you to verify your phone number by texting the letter “f” to 32665.  Facebook then texts you back a code which you enter into Facebook.

Sounds good so far right?  Well, I followed all of the instructions and now can no longer get into my Facebook account.  I’m attaching a screen shot below of the issue so that you can see what is happening.  When I log in, I get a message that says “Confirm You Identity”, then below that it says “Your Account is Already Verified” and then there is a button to click “Confirm”.  So, you click the “Confirm button, and nothing happens.

I just wanted those out there that are having this problem to realize that you aren’t the only ones with this issue and I don’t have an answer yet but I have contacted Facebook and I am awaiting their reply or fix.

For those of you who will be following this blog because you want to learn web design and have the intention of making it a business need to make this first step.  If you’ve been designing web sites for a while and already have a hosting account, please ignore this lesson.

1. Decide on a Webhosting service.  Look for the words Linux or PHP hosting.  Even if you don’t know what Linux or PHP is make sure that the hosting pack you decide on is considered Linux or PHP hosting.
2. Review web hosting packages to find the package that will meet your needs
3. Decide on a Domain Name for your web design business
4. Purchase the webhosting service that you decided on in #1 and when asked for the domain name you want to use, enter the domain name you decided on in step 3.
5. Receive email from the Webhosting Company with FTP information that you will need for future tutorials on this site.

Please note that in step 5, some webhosting services such as GoDaddy, you may have to take additional steps to actually set up the FTP service.  GoDaddy is not necessarily a hosting service for beginners.

Some webhosting services that I recommend are:

Godaddy.com (for intermediate users)

Hostmonster.com

DailyRazor.com
