What is the cheapest and easiest way to setup my own website?

Q. -I want it to be a proper website with my own domain, rather than these free sites
-Can you give your reason and the price for the website
-Is there any good software for helping someone go step through step for making a home made business website?

A. I recommend you check out Office Live Small Business from Microsoft. Remember that you get what you pay for with completely free services--lots of other people's ads on your site. Small Business Websites are ad free and very, very inexpensive. They let people make their own websites, and since it is template based, you do not need to know any web page coding languages. The service is easy to use and extremely affordable. There is a gallery on the homepage with examples and case studies of business who have used Office Live Small Business to get their website going.

What is a good website to share photography?
Q. Not like facebook or myspace but a place where I can post my photography and have people critique it and I can look at other pictures.

A. There are a few different places you can use or try in fact I would use a few at once especially if you want to sell any of them.

try free sites like
http://www.flickr.com
http://www.picasa.web.google.com
http://www.ephotozine.com
http://www.imagefly.info
http://www.eyefetch.com
http://www.imgload.com
http://www.pbase.com

there is also
http://www.redbubble.com

You could always start your own blog with someone like www.blogger.com and download a photoblog template from somewhere like www.bloggertemplates.com (they have some great photography templates)

You could have the free account with blogger and the free blogger ID or you could buy your own domain name though blogger for $10 so instead of having a web address like www.mybestpics.blogspot.com it would look like www.enjoymyphotos.com and it is still hosted free with blogger. To promote it you could then add your web site address as a signature to your emails, your facebook page etc

The blog is a good idea if you want to be a photographer and it's easier than having a full website especially when you are starting out. And it looks more professioal than sending someone to the likes of picasa or flickr.

Picture of a boy and girl making a heart out of multiple pictures?
Q. Its been on facebook and tumblr and ifunny pages but i can't seem to find it anymore. Link please.

A. There are computer programs that will let you take several pictures and then use an image as a template to make them into a heart shape. This is one of them and it is free.
