Where do I write the HTML for my site...
« on: October 07, 2008, 08:10:20 pm »
I just joined furtopia.org less than a week ago, where do I write the html for my ftp website?

I know how to upload and all, but do I use publisher or something?

Thx,

Luv,
Jooles :) :) (: :D

You need to use a separate program to write the HTML for your site. Furtopia doesn't have a HTML editor, unfortunately. =3

Dreamweaver, FrontPage, etc. I write my own HTML in notepad.

A good uplaoder for FTP is filezilla. It's free. <3

ACEHtml free is very good. Typically your first page will have to be named index.html , index.htm or index.php

http://software.visicommedia.com/en/products/acehtmlfreeware/ (does require free registration) Or theres plenty of other freeware HTML programs out there if you lack the cash for Dreamweaver, Frontpage and need help with some of the coding which Notepad doesnt offer.

A good place to look for other freeware html programs would be... www.freewarefiles.com Another would be www.download.com and just read through the descriptions and usually they mention if they're only "trialware"

Other pages can be labled whatever you wish. But dont put spaces in the filenames. Instead use -'s or _'s ie. Page-1.html or Page_1.html and you just link to those and any other files with your index.html page.

If your other pages are in the same folder or folders on the same site, you can take some shortcuts code wise.
Code: [Select]
  ie. <a href="page-1.html">Page 1</a> or <a href="folder/page_1.html">Page 1</a>

Some good html tutorials can be found below:

http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/

http://www.htmlgoodies.com/
 
If you need more help with coding googling what your trying to do can help.

Nods. Save your main opening page as index.html and upload it into the open directory so when you type joolesthefurry.furtopia.org, the html page will be triggered.

(so if your using Filezilla, place the index.html in the HTML directory.)

ok, im doing somewhat well currently... except for 2 things...

i created link such as "www.joolesthefurry.furtopia.org/literature/poetry.htm


"www.joolesthefurry.furtopia.org/literature.htm" works out perfectly...

but weirdly enough, when i made separate folder (literature, notice it has no .htm at the end) poetry.htm didnt work, even though on filezilla I put it into the literature folder...

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

you dont put the *.htm or *.html on folders, just any pages you make.

created a mini tutorial on how to get folders on your site. hope it'll help.
