2 Questions

my first question is i have a recipe web site up but i have tried almost
every search engine i can not seem to find any kitchen utensil clip art to
use in the ingredients sections of the recipes. The web site is:
http://shirleysrecipes.awardspace.biz. I need clip art that is applicable to
the ingredients listed. Does anyone know what i can do? My other question is
does anyone know of any free sub-domain web hosts that give the best bang for
you time, including the capability to publish office 2007 and earlier files
so they can be opened on the web instead of saved to the hard disc then
opened? I need a host that offers 5 sub-domains in one account as well as the
FrontPage Extensions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"including the capability to publish office 2007 and earlier files

I don't know any web host with that capability, free or otherwise.
A Word document (any version) is ALWAYS downloaded, then either opened in
the browser (IE only), opened in Word or saved to disc.
Any host that allows Word files (that is every host I know of) to be hosted
will work this way.

As for sub-domains, FP-extensions and Free - I doubt you will find that
combination. For low cost try http://www.webhost4life.com ($7 per month
after 1st year) and there are other, cheaper, hosts .

Try Google for the clipart - http://www.freeclipartnow.com/food/ was one
result.

Output your recipes as .pdf's if you have Acrobat (not the just reader), or
if you don't you can use something like CutePDF, or PrimoPDF to output from
Word to a PDF file, then upload them to your web for downloading by your
viewers...almost everyone has Acrobat Reader.

try bluehost.com
try http://sxc.hu/
I agree with Rob pdf's thought I hate them as a user) are best.

but what kind of office files? word excel what? what kind of content? You
might be better putting it as actual content within the web.

Thank you all for the replies! The type of content would be a companion
printable recipe book to go along with the web site. Right now, the print
version is in Publisher 2007. I tried using PDF. That is fine to print or
download for my viewers to print thier own copy of the finished file. I also
want the viewers to be able to open the Publisher 2007 file in their browser
(assuming they have publisher 2007 on their computer) so they don't have to
save it to their hard drive but in Firefox it forces them to save the file,
then download which saves to the hard drive. I had a professor in college
that hosted his labs on his web site and then we could download and open them
in the browser that is what i want to be able to do. Also, i have found three
companies that do offer frontpage extensions and 5 subdomains which is
awardspace, agilityhoster, & 100webspace. I was wondering if any one else
knew of any. As for the clip art i have tried google and all i could find was
kitchen utensils all together when i need separate images small enough to use
as a graphic for the items listed in ingredients. As for the person would
said they liked the Lemon Pound Cake Recipe, feel free to save my site if you
wish i put it up to let people be able to access my grandmother's recipes
with all who care to use them. So enjoy!

Thank you again,

Then you will have to provide Publisher 2003, 2007 or 2010 for all your
users, because Publisher is the only program able to open Publisher files.

PDF's are your solution.

why? the other question is a matter of opinion and research...neither of
which I have time for.

And I certainly wouldn't recommend to a newbie that he run his own webserver
so he can control subwebs or subdomains...numbnuts.

Thanks again,

Yes for those who don't have Publisher 2007 they would logically need
Publisher 2007which I am aware of. I was and am going to put a link to both
and a notify them through a little disclaimer of sorts that you have to have
Publisher 2007 to open the Publisher formatted file. I say 2007 cause that
is what it was created in. The reason i want both is so my grandmother can
add more to the book as she sees fit should she decide to do so provided she
has Publisher. The order in which this project would be presented to her
would be i would print, laminate, bind the recipe book that would be in pdf
and then make all the recipes on the site match the book. Which is why i call
it a companion site. As for a printable page, if you notice on every recipe
page ther is a link to a printable version that page is supposed to be able
to fit on a sheet of standard 8.5X11 in paper. I did have a question though,
what should the pixel dimensions be for the printable pages table to fill the
whole page up with 0.5 in margins? I want to use every inch of the paper i
can not just part of it. Hope that help shed some light on what I am doing
and why.

Thanks again,

So you are excluding European readers from printing your recipes?
A4 is the standard in Europe, being approx 8x11.25
Use a fixed width, centered page for print. The width being approx. 630px,
and change the fonts to a serif style (like Georgia, Times etc.) to make the
printed version easier to read. (serif for print, non-serif fonts for the
screen).
A print CSS sheet is the easiest way to set things up - see
