http://princepuppets.com Well I got the domain name awhile ago. Managed to redirect it to bravenet, to use as a low cost host. But gee whats HTML? Where do I learn to use that? I tried downloading her catalog onto the site but all scanned documents are each too big.

I have a LOT to learn:) Thats really good, just wish I had done this years ago, that way I would already be experienced....


The other thread about the modem is for a computer she got. I am busy trying to get stuff together...

Try www.webmonkey.com
It's a great site that explains everything from the basics of HTML, to frames, tables, stylesheets (I hate stylesheets!) and publishing a website and much more.

You don't need to know much HTML to build a site (speaking from experience) with wysiwyg web editors like MS FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver or Adobe GoLive your pretty much set. Sometimes these programs won't let you do certain things, so you'll need to go into the code and do it by hand. I have all three but, prefer Dreamweaver MX personally.

You may be surprised how much HTML you actually know. Here, our vB code is loosely based on HTML in some cases just replace the brackets with carrots, so to bold text in HTML instead of
[b]this is the bold tag in Vb Code[/b ]
you'll type
<b>this is the bold tag in HTML Code</b>

HTML is really not that hard to learn, coding is not case sensitive so that helps a lot. One thing thats been really ponded into my head, if your designing a page that a lot of people are going to view do it in 800x600 rez, since thats pretty much the standard. I have my rez at 1152x864, and thats what I designed my site at, but nit many know about my site since it's still under construction.
