Right ive sort of worked out how to use it now and ive stuck a basic page up witch is now viewable to the world...Im using dream weaver.its bloody good. Its just a long process converting all the code over...

You can upload your stuff via the web site, or you can use an ftp program such as ace or cute, Im not sure but I think dreamweaver has an ftp program built in? just look at geocities or angelfire FAQ section all will be explained!

This is all getting a bit confusing,ive got a page now and ive made it say welcome to murphs page etc,but i want links on there to certain thing,now am i right in saying that i can upload the things i want links to ,and then link to where ever they are...s**t this is hard work man,the other thing is dreamweaver is on my laptop whick hasnt been configured for the network yet so i have to cut and paste the text onto a floppy and then, then upload onto my pc which is connected...mission man!!!

by **JamieFRST** on Tue Oct 02, 2001 7:38 am

Keep at it mate! it's well worth it when it done, I used dreamweaver to do my site, link below in sig, and its hosted by angelfire, you only get 1 pop up which anit to bad! :wink:

I don't think ade will like your sig pic :lol:

by **Murph** on Tue Oct 02, 2001 7:42 am

i will keep at it, i will put my car as my sig when i get my ass into gear and take a few pics...Ill remove the other one if its hassle..Ive just loaded some images onto my site,into a directory-but i dont know how to link to them...any ideas...

by **AdrianFRST** on Tue Oct 02, 2001 7:43 am

Sorry Murph, had to remove your sig image. (!)

Regarding webspace, try http://www.plus.net

They give you free space at http://www.yourname.plus.net and there are a lot of tutorials and helpfull info on the site.

Yep, that's how you link. Create a page called say 'cars.htm' and on your mainpage set the link to 'cars.htm'. That way it will link to the page regardless of whether it is on your PC or the internet.

by **Murph** on Tue Oct 02, 2001 7:54 am

no worries about the pic didnt relise...Right im getting there i think.If i create all thepages and all the links etc in one folder-and then upload the folder will this work...

More help needed....Ive uploaded another page with a background image.once activated it lost its background...how do i prevent this as when i created a link for the background it was in a folder--Now it cant find...this angle fire is difficult to use man....

by **JamieFRST** on Tue Oct 02, 2001 2:20 pm

Don't know m8, If your finding anglefire difficult to use try down loading a FTP program, they work like explorer you just drag the file from ur computer to the server! :wink:

Murph - does your ISP give you space - i.e. my ISP - Freeserve- give me 15megs space thats what i do with mine, i upload to my own account, and it shouldnt get deleted as you are constantly dialing up, you dont get annoying pop-up windows (sorry mixon, but everytime you click a link on your site you get that fcuking popup window! :wink:

)

so see if your ISP does mate

then get hold of CUTE FTP - find out your ISP's HOST ADDRESS
and your away :grin:

Nice one chief ill have a look into that..Cheers Murph!

Sorry Ade, but there's *no way* I'll ever recommend plusnet to anyone, not even my worst enemy (well, OK , maybe him, but he does deserve it).

I'll admit their FAQ's are very good, but all the decent competent folks that really made that place work have left and all that remains is a bunch of incompetent buffoons whose idea of customer service and client satisfaction is to say "well, fcuk you! we don't care, we have your money."

I'm not gonna mention any names but I have had nothing but bad experiences since they got taken over about 3 years ago. The attitude of their customer services and managerial staff sucks and if it wasn't for the time/cost aspect of sueing them my employers would have done so long ago.

Furthermore, they owe me personally the best part of a hundred quid and screwed the company I work for for £1000's :aaah:
