Albus Dumbledore 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2006 just look around the forums for advice on making your site basic stuff: Put all of your things in the public_html or www folders when you login to your file manager with the file manager that is in the cpanel, or by finding an FTP Client, search the forums for info on FTP Clients or google it... the page that shows welcome to your hosting site! is the index.html page, and when you go to put your site up, you should have an index.html or anindex.php page because that is the first page that will show up when people go to your site, and from that index page you can direct them to other links on your site... now if you dont know HTML umm i wish you good luck and try a few of these sites for some HTML type things, like linking, and putting an image up etc.... http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://www.ipl.org/div/kidsweb/ http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/ http://www.w3schools.com/html/ <<goes into GREAT detail about HTML good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvalkass 5 Report post Posted August 1, 2006 The best way is probably going to be to make a test page and put that somewhere, to make sure that you know where to put the files. Open Notepad and copy and paste this into it: <html><head><title>Test Page</title></head><body><p>This should appear when it is in the right place, and the default page will go.</p></body></html> Save that as index.html (make sure Notepad doesn't put a .txt extension on). Then go into cPanel and load up the file manager. Open the public_html directory. There should be 1 file inside it (index.htm). Delete that file by clicking the file name then clicking Delete on the right hand side. Then click the link to upload a file, and upload the new index.html you just made. Go to your web address now and you should see that page rather than the T17 default one. To make more interesting pages, I suggest you look at the links Albus has provided, especially W3Schools. Just remember that the first page anyone will see of your website is the file called index.html inside the directory called public_html/b]. Visitors cannot see any other directories, only what is inside the public_html folder. If you need any more help then feel free to PM or email me and I wil help you as best I can.

TypoMage 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 I have gone there before Albus D. But it only said the basics Or am I looking in the wrong place o the site?It talked about tables and all of that stuff but is that all there is to html? There is more but where can I find it on that site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albus Dumbledore 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the pagethat website, covers everything in HTML for making a website, with the tables you can make a website layout if you know how to use tables well enough....

Panzer 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 W3school is the best website for learning web code at. Get books out from your local library, just read them whenever you can and youll soon get the hang of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TypoMage 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 I wish making a website was easier then this. I mean it is way to complicated. I do not think I will ever be able to make a website. Posting in forums is still fun. Well I will learn. But I still need help. So please help me. Is there a easier way? Besides html. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drk002 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Hey, don't lose heart. HTML is fun.(Especially when you dont know much about it and still creating killer websites)Ya I said killer websites without learning HTML. Ofcourse basic stuff (like full form of HTML) etc will help you making more-killer websites.OK, back to business. Believe me you can design very nice websites without learning HTML.(And when you do that HTML is already learnt, subtly)Go use a web-page design software like Microsoft Front Page or Macromedia Dreamweaver. Let me say FrontPage:1- Open a new blank page in design mode.(They have design mode, code mode and preview)2-Write whatever you like: (I expect you can type well)Do what ever formatting the text by going to FORMAT>FONT etc.Insert images from INSERT>PICTURE option.........save the page and upload somewhere. Let's see if this could convince you HTML IS FUN.(Ya if you can't get Front Page, do the same with Microsoft Word)All the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TypoMage 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Hmmmm sounds interesting so where can I download one of those and which one is the most best? And also do any of them cost money?

hype 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Well, I usually code my html files with notepad, a free and available in all windows... Frontpage are available by purchasing it... Microsoft Word requires purchasing of Microsoft Office and Macromedia Dreamweaver too requires you to purchase the product... Unless you get a crack of it, but I wouldnt recommend since its illegal, you could probably use notepad and learn it from scratch... Try w3schools(as said) for html tutorial startup guide, they'll help...http://www.w3schools.com/ Edited August 18, 2006 by hype (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuddy 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 You could also use one of those online free site creaters that some offer. They can then prodeuce the whole thing for you without having to know any HTML. However, if you want to change a detail that isn't in there wizard, you'll have to learn the HTML, it's a catch 22, if you don't learn the basics, you can't progress through to the advanced stuff.

TypoMage 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 Well thanks alot for all of your help. What do you guys use to make your site? I have heard that most people do not use html anymore it is more like Java and Msql(Or something like that.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
