Website teachers abound on the Internet, but the really good ones are very hard to find.

I’m talking about website teachers who can start you off from a very basic level and guide you all the way to uploading your own site to the Web.

A lot of time and money escaped my grasp as I searched for a program or person who could teach me the skills I needed. I thought at one point I was just too dumb to understand it all.

Like many out there, I bought into several promises made by so-called website teachers, but almost all the programs I purchased or joined fell far short of what I really needed.

Depression was setting in as each new teaching course would eventually evolve into a situation where the technical jargon used was way beyond my knowledge base. I needed to learn, but no one I could find started simply enough for people like me who at the beginning could only use a computer to write a letter, send email or explore the Internet. I was getting very frustrated by it all.

Most people who claim to be website teachers start off assuming you know a lot about the whole process or skip basic steps along the way leaving the computer newbie in the dark.

Most of the website teachers or programs I found seemed to take pride in using the technical terms I didn’t understand. It was like they had a cyber-smirk on their faces while spouting their course material.

There was one guy I was told about that must of had an ego the size of the State of Maine. Though I won’t mention his name, he referred to himself as the “newbie guru”.

In discussion with a student who was trying to help him understand that he could be much more effective if he’d tone down his high-minded method of teaching by speaking in plain English, he had the following to say:

“Don’t you tell me what the average Internet newbie needs. I OWN the newbies! I am a newbie God!”

Now there’s a great attitude to have! Who would want to try and learn from a guy like that?

It was at that point that the student mentioned came to a realization. He knew he couldn’t be alone in his struggle to learn about building websites. He felt there had to be literally thousands of people in the same predicament. He vowed to learn all he could about website construction and teach it to others in plain, simple language.

Some call it kismet, others fate. As my luck would have it, I met this student shortly after he created this course and signed right up. As it turns out hundreds of others did too.

The world became a great place again after I started his course. The teaching style was relaxed and very informative. It was broken into bite-size bits that made it easy to understand and the learning was fast. This former student had become one of the best website teachers on the Internet. He had fulfilled his promise and now thousands were going to benefit.
