What can a OneBigBlob.com website be used for?
OneBigBlob.com websites can be used for all kinds of things. For example:
Business - Do you have a small to medium business that needs a website (or facelift of your old site) but don't have a budget for a full custom site? Once in a while you may want to change small things or even drastically but don't have a large budget for a custom website? Creation and editing of your site is easy with a OneBigBlob.com website. Also, you may hire graphic artists or FLASH developers to create just the needed pieces you need to place inside your site instead of having to budget for a full custom website.
Event - Have a party comming up? Wedding? "Big Game"? Easily throw up a website to spotlight your event! And, when it's over, you can easily delete that site and create another!
Informational - Did you recently climb Mt. Everest and want to show the world your Bio, stories and pictures? Do you have the latest gossip on Movie Stars? Do you know how to make sushi and want to teach the world? Create your site on OneBigBlob.com!
Artists/Entertainers - Do you have a new hot band? Can you saw a lady in half then make her full again? Are you a professional singer? Are you an actor? Make a nice site for your fans, clients and agents!
Personal - Create a "Just for fun!" website. Or, maybe you just feel like making "your" site... spotlighting... you!?

How can people see my OneBigBlob.com website?
Anybody in the world with internet access can see your site. As soon as you "Create New Site" (inside a user account), it is instantly published online! Everytime you update it, it is instantly published online! When a user creates an account on OneBigBlob, his or her URL (internet address) will be created as http://www.OneBigBlob.com/[username] In order to see your site people should type OneBigBlob.com/[username] into the address bar and hit 'Enter' (don't need the http://www. part). For example, if your username is 'Bob' your Public online viewable URL would be, OneBigBlob.com/Bob

Does it cost anything to get my own OneBigBlob.com site?
OneBigBlob.com websites are totally FREE! Note however, that OneBigBlob.com places ads on your website's pages. We keep ad amounts to a minimum and place ads in very unobtrusive areas compared to other sites and YOUR CONTENT remains the main focus of the website. The ads that show are also contextually relevant to the content of your page. These ads cut the costs of running the OneBigBlob.com servers and our coffee machine :) In the future we will be offering upgrades at small fees to remove ads. Please view some of OneBigBlob.com's current websites (on the main page) to see how and where ads are placed.

Can I use my current domain name?
If you currently have a domain name (purchased somewhere like GoDaddy.com) it is pretty simple to have that name "point to" your OneBigBlob.com website (for example: If you own Bill.com you can set it so when anybody types in Bill.com in a browser address bar, it goes directly to your OneBigBlob.com website). "How to point your domain name" is beyond the scope of these FAQ's and you will have to ask your Domain Name Provider for help.
