Is anyone else having a hard time grasping this whole website thing?

The one-page web and nonprofit assignments made me realize how extensive the internet really is...how in the world is all that nonsense possible? We're using one of the simplest site-making softwares available, so the actual creation of the site is easy. The posting of the sites is what gets me. The UNCW servers and student files and timmy and ftp this and save that...it's all confusing as hell.

Can't the UNCW staff figure out some easier way to organize how to use this website/storage spage/timmy nonsense? If not, teach a class on the stuff! The TAC center website has been absolutely no help to me, other than displaying(mostly hidden within other blocks of text) the URLs to access all these assorted servers. All the needed information is there, but for the website building virgins like myself...it's a foreign language. Ms. Shirley Mathews and I actually broke out the dry-erase markers in an attempt to organize these sites and decipher how to make use of them.

This leads me to believe that the usability of the TAC website could use some improvement. The contact information for the TAC office, just in case you "can't access your TIMMY folder is in bold. The URL for the ftp site that lets you access your TIMMY folder is not in bold, and is buried deep within a paragraph and bulleted list BELOW the contact information. That's a good thing...because you're definitely going to need that phone number when you can't make sense of it all.

So, UNCW, make your TAC website a little easier to understand. Please. Teach a class on how to use your e-mail, TIMMY, and web space at orientation. Do something, because it's not fair to students or professors to waste class time interpreting and teaching how to use your server system.
