| perhaps you should learn HTML before trying to run a webserver? Buy book on HTML and CSS |

Hey...
HTML knowledge is not needed to run a web-server, but is sometimes a big help.
A lot of programs can save in HTML format - e.g. MS Word, Star- / OpenOffice and a lot others...
Maybee get a homepage design program with WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) to do the job for you...
:!:
Don't give up - it's fun to make homepages :wink:

imho that's exactly what one shouldnt do, it is actually much easier to learn some basic html and then built on from there, than to learn a wysiwyg package which are usually complicated and limited by definition anyway...., those kind of packages are more welcome when u mastered html/css to a certain degree and need to pack some page as fast as one could, but again, there are other options even then. (but that is only my personal opinion) |

RedGoku, you can do a search on the web for alot of tutorials on
"how to make a web page". Here are a couple to start you off:
http://www.pagetutor.com/pagetutor/makapage/
http://www.wam.umd.edu/~toh/HowToMakeAWebPage.html
Even though oz1kad says "HTML knowledge is not needed to run a web-server", it is DEFINATELY a big help.
Unless you plan on getting a "pre-made" website from somewhere and putting it on your web server without
being able to make ANY changes to it, you need to learn HTML. You get much more self-satisfaction when you
customize everything to your tastes or fix every little problem that might come up. |

You got it olly86.
Frontpage does the job without the need to know html. Being a 59 yr old grandfather, I would rather play with the grandkids and play golf than learn html and so far I have managed to aviod it for 4+ years. As far as I can tell html has nothing to do with running a web server and I make changes and updates on my (research/info) site almost daily.
Using Abyss Web Server and Frontpage on a home computer is not much more complicated than composing and sending an e-mail. Sure there is a learning curve but for anyone used to Windows programs everything is familiar. |

Was a good suggestion olly86. One of the common problems for amature/novices like me is getting answers in forums like those previous.
Question: "how do I make links?"
Answer: "learn a programing language"
Your suggestion is more immediate. |

Another thing that helps is viewing the source code on other peoples pages... (dun just cut and past though that's kinda nasty ~laffs~). This at least gives you a rough idea of how some code is done.

I personaly learned my web design from looking at peoples source code , i didn't go to a web design class , just check out my success by checking out my web site lol 8)
Ok , maybe I used a little knowledg from my HTML REF book
http://htmlref.com
Also that PHP forms on my site are programmed by me , if you would like a personal designed script , just send me a private message , my scripts are easy to setup.

okay you guys, You have screwed up my comfortable, lazy and uncluttered life and shamed me into looking at html. I am in the process of trying to write a little mailto script which brings me to the question:
If I can even get this idea to work, is it considered whimpy to insert the html into MS Front to make it part of the web site? |

of course not!
I don't care how it's done, as long it is beeing done correctly!
Personally I think it is very handy to know html, if you have a problem youre able to handle it yourself ;) |
