website help
on: March 19, 2007, 03:09:16 pm
Okay, so I've done some web stuff before.. really basic html ages ago. So I need a little help getting one going again.

I'm running an experiment and would like to document my progress where people can get updated, etc via a very basic website.

Now, through my college I have a gig of FTP space that I can upload to. This is far more than enough for the few photos and text I'll need to upload each week updating my progress. Will I be able to upload the website to my FTP and use it's address directly, or will I need to find a host that can give me a domain name and all that? How do I create an html document that will display in a web browser? Is there a program you recommend that can create the html for me if I just tell it I want this text here and that photo there? Again, it's going to be very, very basic, I won't even need links or anything. Basically just a single page where I can update the text and photos. Can someone help get me started?

Thanks.

If your school offers you ftp storage space, it probably has a way to use that for a webpage.  At my school you put things in a certain folder, and it becomes accessible via web.umr.edu/~username/.  Your school's website should hopefully have some sort of helpdesk with information on the specifics involved with that.  As far as creating the webpages, some common ways of making them without knowing html involve Microsoft Word, Frontpage Express, or Dreamweaver.  I'd go ahead and code the html though, since it's going to be a simple site you won't need to learn a whole lot of tags to get a decent site, and the code will be much cleaner than any of those other options.

Never, under any circumstances whatsoever, use Frontpage. There's a new web dev environment available now which produces clean HTML and correct CSS. The pay-for version's called MS Expression Web, but there's probably a free variant available for personal use.

Indeed, that's what I did using a cheat sheet from webmonkey. It didn't take long for it to come back to me. :)

Hey, I just answered his questions.  I know frontpage generates terrible code, even dreamweaver isn't perfect, but it didn't sound like code quality was of major concern as it just needed to be simple.  I'd still learn the html and such, but if he's short on time it can be a pain to get a page to look right.  Granted the odds of generated code looking the same in every browser are slim to nil as well.

It's super basic as it only needs to be, and the answers you all gave helped get me going and refreshed my basic html memory.  :)
