Getting Started
A few people have asked me how I made my web site and what did it take? I decided to make this section and explain how I did it from the beginning. Please note that all I know is HTML and ASP, I do not know how to write scripts in CGI/Perl, Java or PHP or any other language. But I will explain how to set up your website, then show you how to grow with it, as I have done! I will also explain the basic's of Html, IE: how to make tables, set tags, insert images and the like. I will show you how to put in scripts to enhance your site and add some functionality! I will also refer you to the resources on the left side of these pages, as they were instrumental in my understanding of the website business. First off, I had no clue as to how to make a web site, I knew nothing of HTML, CGI/Perl, Java or anything else for that matter and I didnt want to pay for a site till I was sure I could make a decent one! So I went to a free host (that's someone who will put my site on the internet free of charge).The only downfall there is you have to agree to display ads on your site, either in the form of banners or pop-ups. I chose Angelfire. Because they had ready made pages(templates) that I could put my pictures and text in. But there are other free providers so I suggest you check them out before you pick one. Before I go any further, I need to point out that I assume you have an understanding of computers and things like Files, Folders, Extensions, Uploading, Downloading and the like. If you dont, email me or ask at my forum and I would be happy to try to anwser your question! Now that that is out of the way...I assume you have signed up for a free site somewhere(I know I assume alot!). Look around first, get to know all the features and support they offer, they should supply you with some kind of instruction on how to get your site up and running. Most will have something like a basic editor go ahead and use that. If there is no Basic Editor, then look for a template or something that will let you insert images and text to create your own page. If you went with Angelfire or Tripod I can help you through it! Once you are familiar with everything, see if you can convert a page to an Advanced Editor. I would create a page with the basic editor and call it test.html(just some text, a couple of pictures and maybe a link or two) and convert it, then study it and compare it with the page it makes. If you cant convert a page to HTML text only, then go to your site on the web, then right click on it and choose View Source and compare it to your site. After you have totaly confused yourself come back here because the next lesson will explain it all! Remember if you have any questions email me or ask at the forum I would be happy to help!
