I'm not sure what not going to the "outside world" means if you are restricting access. You and she can read it but not the rest of your family? The dog? I think if you are both monitoring and restricting, accessing over the Internet shouldn't be a problem. In fact, EITHER monitoring OR restricting would probably be sufficient. In any case, you can do both things without serving the pages yourself. I've got a host (webhostingbuzz, but any will work) and I'm running WordPress on it. WP is pretty simple to use, especially if you set it up and show her how to do the basics. I set up the domain so that if/when my kids want to have a site they can do it under their own names as "http://firstname.lastname.org". They already have firstn...@lastname.org email addresses. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
