Word documents are not HTML documents unless you specifically save them as such.

Yikes! Well, I might as well now!

[Tosoto]

I bet you were expecting a geocities building tool

[Aminaga]

Yeah, I was really. And this is WAY more complicated!

It looks like I may have no choice but to use that thingy Number 8 sent me...

For what it's worth, Firefox has a nifty FTP client you can install as an extension... FireFTP (like that wasn't obvious...).  Open it up in a new tab, login, and go to town! Very Happy  It's a tad buggy at times, but that's the only thing I use for uploading changes to my site. Smile

....

Reminds me, I need to find a better HTML editor, as Notepad is a bit rough to use for a newbie like me. Razz

Wow, thanks khaldore! I wasn't aware of such a plugin, but it makes sense there would be one to compete with IE. I'll have to try it out.

As for not having a Geocities style page editor, I'd like to point to the hosting.php page on Mystic Software, that states the following...

If you apply for web hosting, you will be required to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload your files from your computer to your website. Mystic Software does not have any web based uploading method, or web based HTML editors. For more information about FTP, see below.

Which I bet he didn't read, which doesn't surprise me one bit

I had the same problom the first time I tried the MS hosting, but now I learned stuff, and it made me smart, in the head!

For future reference, always present bad news first.

Nobody likes to be disappointed at the end. Razz

I used Notepad for my pages, but it probably shows.

[Aminaga]

YES! Finally, I did it! Sure I need to work on some images there, but for
now, this will have to do!

Special Thanks to Dude Man and Quoaz for helping me make a Web Page at MS Word. Thanks guys!

And big thanks to everybody else who is going to visit my site.

Admins: Can you please replace the forum at MS-Hosted with the one at Other RPG Toolkit Sites, and also please move this topic back to my own forum at ORPGTS?
Thanks!

Enjoy!

EDIT: Some images might not be used sadly...

A tip: For some reason you have to select index from a number of files to see the site. If you wish people to see your site rather than the contents of your folder, try renaming Index.htm index.htm. I am not sure, but I think it is case sensitive. (Spyder, it is a Linux server, right? Linux is usually case sensitive in my limited experience).

[Aminaga]

Thanks, and Haraldur, if you're an admin, why don't you move the topic?

I suggest you go <a href='http://www.w3schools.com/' target='_blank'>here</a> (<a href='http://www.w3schools.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.w3schools.com/</a>)

And learn HTML and CSS, you'll be way better off if you do.  Then you'll be able to make webpages in notepad, as well as have bragging rights.  It's very easy (IMHO) to learn them, since it's just text, it's not even like programming.

[Aminaga]

Dude, I already know how to make Web Pages in Note Pad now.
I'm only having trouble adding veiwable images on to the site...

[AlienDude]

You set up your folder hierarchy, put everything in it, check your img tags to see if the src is right (use the full address ["http://..."] unless you set up a base tag soyou can write relative addresses["../img/image.ext"]).  if you make sure that stuff is right you shouldn't have a lot of problems.

for viewable inages, if you want to have viewable images you have to set up links to them, if you want to can use thumbnails.

this is a basic rundown (correct me if im wrong):

Code: [Select]


<a href="http://www.site.com/dir/image.ext"><img src="http://www.site.com/dir/image.ext" width="60px" height="100px"></a>

/*sets up a link to an image, the link appearing as a smaller version of the picture (thumbnail)*/
