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...

You're obviously lying... You're generating your code in Word, hence you have kilobytes of uneccessary data on your site that will:
1) cause it to load much more slowly
2) break things (like images)
3) produce poor quality web pages...

Don't try to lie to me, I've know HTML fluently for 8 years now, and the code on your page simply shows that you don't know it.

(Sample)

Code: [Select]

<link rel=File-List href="./Index_files/filelist.xml">
<link rel=Edit-Time-Data href="./Index_files/editdata.mso">
<!--[if !mso]>
<style>
v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
.shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
</style>
<![endif]-->
<title> </title>
<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
 <o:DocumentProperties>
  <o:Author> </o:Author>
  <o:Template>Normal</o:Template>
  <o:LastAuthor> </o:LastAuthor>
  <o:Revision>3</o:Revision>
  <o:TotalTime>3</o:TotalTime>
  <o:Created>2005-02-03T21:29:00Z</o:Created>
  <o:LastSaved>2005-02-03T23:31:00Z</o:LastSaved>

  <o:CharactersWithSpaces>5081</o:CharactersWithSpaces>
  <o:Version>9.2720</o:Version>
 </o:DocumentProperties>
</xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
 <w:WordDocument>
  <w:PunctuationKerning/>
 </w:WordDocument>
</xml><![endif]-->

Your images are broken because your image tags are all wrong, they point to a folder called Image_files, and you just copied all your images to the main directory instead of copying the folder.

Hey DMM,

If you need something that works better than word...

Try <a href='http://www.w3.org/Amaya' target='_blank'>this</a>. It won the pricelessware.org award for best WYSIWYG web designer. You don't need HTML knowledge to make a page with it, but if you have some you can use it.
I don't use it, I use Frontpage, but of course, Frontpage is not free.

Number Eight: No thanks. So far I like doing it the way it is...

matt72186: Look, if you aren't giving me solutions that don't involve
switching from MS Word, don't give me solutions at all!

matt72186 · « **Reply #33 on:** February 06, 2005, 05:28:16 PM »

Hey I'm just trying to give you suggestions that would improve your website, and possibly make it work, besides I told you the problem with the images all you gotta do is fix it. If you're going to be a stubborn brat and completely ignore my solutions then go on, but if you want to fix your site I suggest you listen to me!

Aminaga · « **Reply #34 on:** February 06, 2005, 07:18:04 PM »

Okay, okay. The truth is, I'm refusing because I'm accually not that
good with such advanced coding...

Number Eight · « **Reply #35 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:35:37 PM »

HTML is actually not that advanced. If you go to that website matt72186 recommended you could probably learn it in an hour or so (at least the basics).
It's quite simple.

Spyder · « **Reply #36 on:** February 07, 2005, 06:24:30 AM »

Yeah, HTML is extremely simple. After you learn the basic tags like <a href, <img src, <i>, <b>, and <u>, etc, just about everything else starts to make sense. I still do things like tables using an editor like Macromedia Dreamweaver, rather than handcode them, just because I find it easier, but Matt's right, you shouldn't use Word for HTML. It adds tons of useless crap to your page that you can't see unless you look at the source code, but it makes your files ten times larger than they need to be.

Aminaga · « **Reply #37 on:** February 07, 2005, 08:48:54 AM »

Everyone has there opinions. Sure, they'll be some crap that I don't need,
but I don't care! Someday, amybe I'll take you're advice, but for now, I already started with MS Word, and for now, it'll be like this!

Haraldur · « **Reply #38 on:** February 09, 2005, 04:24:26 PM »

HTML is really easy, even I managed it. Notepad is your friend!

Aminaga · « **Reply #39 on:** February 09, 2005, 05:12:01 PM »

I LOVE NOTEPAD!!!!

Is Notepad the same thing as MS Word, or is it more advanced?

matt72186 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 09, 2005, 05:53:30 PM »

Notepad is a lot less advanced than Word, and a lot more simple. It's about as complex as the textarea you see for fast reply. It's meant just to write simple text, which is all that's needed to code HTML.

Aminaga · « **Reply #41 on:** February 09, 2005, 06:04:15 PM »

Oh, and Matt, I wanted to ask you if I can convert pages I made
into the HTML program thingy?

Just asking a simple question. Wink

Because I'm feeling nice, I spent 10 minutes making your page. It's up to you if you want to use this authentic "Matthew Lucas" site or not, but I'll tell ya, it's a lot better than what you already got (Faster/Works).

Hold the Windows Key and hit "R"
Type "notepad" hit Enter
Then copy+paste the code below into the text
Save as "index.html" in your site's folder (make sure it's a lowercase 'i')
Upload it to your site using Internet Explorer

For maximum effectiveness I suggest you study the code, I kept it fairly simple, hopefully you can learn something from this.
