What Builder lets me do is design a layout and to create a style- I can make every page the same or I can make every page different or any combination.

A really important note – this is all done in menus – I am not messing with the code – I am not a programmer – what I like to see in Premium Word Press themes is the ability to change things and never have to look at or mess with the code.

What I have done is designed a page – I put in an image – put areas on the left and right of the image that I can add things, I added a navigation bar, put in a place for content – added a right side bar – a widget area below and a footer.

Next I played with the style creator and changed some of the colors and so now this is what I have

You also need to have a domain name. In this case I am using a domain name in my name. If you go to ronaldheadley.com you will not find anything – I do not have a site there. I do have some information on the Geezer n Geek site about domain names. For now all you need to know is a domain name is an address that the internet can find. You can get domain names from Blue Host – you have to renew your domain names every year and a good practice is to set up you domains so that they automatically renew. Blue host charges $10 for a new domain name and the renewal is $10 a year.

If your domain name is costing more than $10-$12 a year or less you are getting ripped off!!! There are lots of places that will charge you a lot more. Do not use these places.

So in the case of the Sandbox it is an add on to my domain ronaldheadley.com – I pay $10 a year for the domain. I have two add ons at the moment to that domain. ronaldheadley.com/oxford is a community site and the new one ronaldheadley.com/sandbox are addons, they are separate site, Blue Host does not charge extra for doing this and I pay only for the one domain.

The same thing is true for geezerngeek.com the Small business guides are an add on at geezerngeek.com which is this site and geezerngeek.com/sbg is the add on that I am working on.

Remember if you are following this just go to where I am working and be sure to refresh your screen to see the changes. Right now as I learn Builder I will be working in the Sandbox so bring it up and hit the refresh and you will if I am making any progress.

What I have done so far is put Word Press on my domain, uploaded the Builder Theme and a Child theme to make it look like it does.

Next I will be using Builder to set up some pages and layouts.

Step one wear heavy gloves. Remove the cotter pin that is below the mast head (the mast head is the part that the four legs bolt to)

Step two grab the tail brace and turn the wheel away from the wind. The wheel will stop turning for a second or two and then it will begin to turn in the reverse direction. With gloves on grab the wheel when it stops turning and hold it.

Step three lift the top from the mast head and remove it -

When the winds drop down check to make certain the tower is firmly fastened, hammer in the ground stakes if the tower is not in firm contact with the ground. Check to see if the tower is level. The easiest way to do this is with a level placed on the horizontal braces closest to the ground. Slide the top wheel and tail assembly back into the mast head and replace the cotter pin into the pivot shaft that is below the mast head.

If you are going to have Gail force or hurricane force winds take the top assembly off from the windmill tower. Place the top safely inside until these conditions change. The tower with out the wheel and tail will survive some very high winds.

If you windmill is mounted in cement or firmly mounted on a cement or strong wood base you windmill should be fine and be able to survive winds 70 mph or so. (I know of one in Nebraska mounted on a cement slab that has seen over 100 mph winds more than once and they do not remove the top)

If you happen the have one of the Chinese copies you may want to remove the entire top anytime the winds are higher than 15 mph and even doing that the blades very well still can and will fail, come loose or fly off.

While these comments are mostly about the 8 foot windmill they also apply to the much smaller 4.5 foot windmill.

With the 4.5 foot windmill even though the wheel is only 12 inches, do not try to stop if with your bare hands, wear gloves, grab the tail brace and turn the wheel away from the wind. It will slow down and stop, grab the wheel when it stops turning and lift the entire top off from the mast head.

Something to be aware of with the 4.5 foot windmill is it is low enough that children can get there hands in the wheel. The spinning wheel can cut little finger offs and break bones. Do not let children play with or get close to the 4.5 foot windmill when the wheel is turning. Which is most of the time. Both the 8 foot and 4.5 foot windmill wheels will turn in the slightest breeze.

Adults also have to be careful around the 4.5 foot windmill – just be aware that you have a spinning steel wheel that has square corners.
