How to create a web site for free

Although there have been ways to create a free web site since the web began, few of the methods were really free, easy, or comprehensive enough to do most people any good.

Remember that when someone says “it’s free”, there’s some kind of a catch because somebody has to pay for it.

Fortunately with some of the newer renditions of free web site systems, the “free” is simply being bombarded with a bunch of advertising for paid programs when you’re downloading the application, advertising banners on the site, or the absence of more desirable features like audio, video, and embedded files that are only available as a premium upgrade.

Library of Congress – Cataloging in Publication Program (CIP) and Catalog Card Number

Library of Congress – Cataloging in Publication Program (CIP) and Catalog Card Number

A Library of Congress catalog card number is a unique identification number that the Library of Congress assigns to the catalog record created for each book in its cataloged collections.

Librarians use it to locate a specific Library of Congress catalog record in the national databases and to order catalog cards from the Library of Congress or from commercial suppliers.

The Library of Congress assigns this number while the book is being cataloged. Under certain circumstances, however, a card number can be assigned before the book is published through the Pre-assigned Card Number Program (PCN).

Without this data your book could sit in a library for several months before personnel know how to log it or where to put it. By participating in CIP, you will be provided pertinent information that can be printed right on the copyright page of your book.

Since failure was NOT an option, I started researching the solutions and it turns out that everything you need is available, on-line, for free.
