Guest Nellie2 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 I have been having a good think about the website thing just recently and decided that my efforts were a tad rubbish to say the least.....plus I didn't have a clue what I was doing.So I am starting again.....from scratch.......this is what I have spent the last couple of hours working on......including finding out the basics of HTML.........what do you think? Good idea? I just have the one page at the mo but will probably have to redesign that as I go along and add others.Here is the link anyway.God loves a trier!

Guest Damo Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Thats good nel, I would love to start a web page from manually inputting HTML, Its probably the best way to learn.Pretty soon you'll be an expert....then you can teach it to me! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Well I thought the best place to start is at the begining. I think I need to know how the HTML works before I start using an editing program......all that lot was done in notepad. But as things get a bit more complicated then I will go on to use a design program. I'm only on page 31 of my book too....... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 You're making me envious. My new .plus.net bb that's due to come on line on 1th May says I can have a 25Mb Web site. Might give it a go and paste my jogging things on it. For this I will need mega mega help. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Damo Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 What are the buttons mark? are they images?.....have you put everything together in the right place? have you uploaded the buttons or are they left behind in another folder on your pc?

mark2 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Not sure yet damo just going back over everything, used that secret PCA program :D to create it, first time I've tried this and used the wizard to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Damo Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Ahhhhhhh :lol: :lol: Thats quite good then, it means if you get stuck anytime I can go through step by step at my end!!!!all i will say though, is create a new folder and store everything in that, index.htm, page 1, 2, all your images, etc.Once youve gone back over it let me know if you cant spot anything and Ill hook up my laptop with 'that secret prog' on!CheersDamo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Think it's sorted almost, had some gifs missing but needs some editing cos some of the buttons lead nowhere at present. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 I have a few more pages now that I'm going to have to prepare but I think it will now take a while to get it set up properly, there aren't going to be enough hours even with my only 9 hr day.

Tony Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 HiWell here is my site Freiburg Nomads. (it is all about our cricket club here in Freiburg. The History page makes interesting reading about how we started)I started it February last year (i did not have a clue what i was doing either)The most of it was done with dreamweaver 4 (and to be honest it still is) as the site is always updated with info for our members, it's just quicker.But all the extras i did my self, guest-book etc..Even though the site is done with DW whether you like it or not you will learn the basics of HTML.The forums i only added the other day, i want to see how they take off, if they are well received then i will host my own forum Yabb or maybe the software for this one.TonyPS Nellie good work so far, but that banner ad at the bottom is a real big distraction (Sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter e Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 I've been trying to learn a little HTML, but then I saw this article which said, "Learn XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets instead. They will be the new language of the web". So I went to Smiths and bought a couple of books - one on XHTML and CSS (first page said, "If you know HTML, you know 85% of XHTML") and one on Javascript. I shall be a web design genius when I've read 'em (which may take a while).Anyway, Nellie - keep at it. You'll get a flash of inspiration and next thing you'll have a great site with a million visitors a week. :o Damo's right, it is addictive. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
