There was no reason for you to get rough and to shut off my topic. No wonder this site got hacked...you just bend over and take it. You guys are great when it comes to help but you're just a bunch of cool, rational guys and I can't relate to you people so I'm done with this forum.As far as you go, justsomeguy...if you're going to get anywhere you're going to have to learn to not stoop to someone's level but to stoop even lower.Thanks for all the help so far everyone...and to anyone that reads this before the moderators take it off I hope you learn as much as I did in this forum in the short time I was here.HTMLover

Those jerks came here and ruined things for us. Isn't anybody going to do anything? Throw something back at them? Don't care if they fix it in 30 minutes as long as we do something.Hope I'm not the only one that feels this way.HTMLover

Thanks for all your replies...you're right I made that mistake when I bought Web Site Building for Dummies or something like that from the "For Dummies" books from the internet. It was supposed to be for beginners but in the first chapter it tells you all the things they expect you to alrady know. That really bugged me since I thought that was the point of buying a beginner's book. Anyhow, I've checked out the web hosting companies you guys mentioned and they're great. I've found one called iPowerWeb. Anyone ever heard of it? Looks like they offer a lot so I'm still giving this some thought. As a newbie one thing I'm not understanding is...I could use HTML to create a guestbook section where people type things in then submit them but I'm finding that a lot of web hosting companies offer a guestbook so is one better to use than the other? I'll admit I've been having problems getting my submit buttons to correspond to the text field in my HTML code so I'm really wanting to take the easy route and just use what the hosting company is offering but I don't want to miss out on the HTMLearning experience and go on without knowing how to get my submit button to correspond with the text field that people can type in on my site.As always any help is appreciated...thanks,Andy A. - HTMLover

Thanks for that tip...that helped me out with a few links I had set up.Anyonw know what's a good web hosting service? I'm seeing so many but I'm nervous on making a committment with a small amount of experience.Thanks for you help guys,Andy A. - HTMLover

When I first started on this site I went to the HTML examples area and started learning different things with HTML there. I just found out about this forum recently and, just in case you only know about the forum, I recommend going to the other sections of this site and check out all the free wonderful tips that this site has. I'll admit, if they didn't make it so darn easy I would never have started playing with HTML. You might find an answer to this question or another question that you might have in the future. Trust me, you will love it!Hope that helped,Andy A. - HTMLover

"I'm not sure if I understand your linking questions. To link to each page, you just need:HTML"Thanks to both of you for your replies. I really needed some input and I'm feeling comfortable with what you guys said. As far as to what you said S@m, when I was talking about linking I was referring to the link between having all of my pages done and getting those completed pages online to have a fully functioning site. I know I have to use FTP software to get the site online but I was wondering if there was anything else that I have to do or if I just upload the completed web pages to the site using an FTP software and expect things to work. Hope that explains things a little more.Hey MarkDF, is there are particular book that worked well for you? If so, what do you recommend and where do you suggest I get it?Thanks again to both of you for your reply.Andy A. - HTMLover

Hello everyone,This is my first post here. Recently I started reading some things on this site just for the heck of it and before I knew it I went from thinking HTML was an alien language to starting on my first site. As always it's very basic since I'm new but after reading a lot of the posts here I'm noticing that you are all so friendly and helpful to each other so I was hoping I could feel some of that love. I have devoted each paragraph to a particular issue that I have so please...if you have the answers to just one that is plenty of help for me. I really appreciate any responses that you guys can give & thanks in advance.With that said, let me get down to it. I've been visiting some sites that have general background templates that are just beautiful and each one is specific to the different types of sites that a person could create. I don't know how to use Flash, Photoshop or anything else but I've just started playing with those as well. I was just wondering if anyone here knew where I could go for a good start on creating my own background designs that I could implement into my HTML sites. Currently I'm using CoffeeCup HTML Editor and it is good for someone that is new to HTML (like me) but I was also wondering if anyone could recommend any other programs that have worked well. The program I'm using does a lot of things for me then generates the HTML text for me which is great because it generates the codes so I can learn what is the right way but I'm getting comfortable with HTML really fast so I don't know what the next step would be.With the sites that I've been playing around with I really want to add some video clips and other things on them that people could download. Anyone know how I could do that? I haven't tried anything and I have no idea where to start so any information on this would be greatly appreciated.Lastly, I have created all of my pages and I have my domain name registered but I have no idea how to link the two. I heard that I need to use FTP software to upload files to the server and I'm reading up on that so I was just wondering if I'm on the right track. Also, whenever I find a hosting company do all of them have tools that I could use to upload the pages that I created to the site? Thank you all for reading this and to anyone that posted a response with any bits of information I owe you all a big one. Shouldn't take me long to pick on this HTML thing...I have absolutely no talent whatsoever but I've finally found something that I just LOVE and if I can help anyone with anything in the future I would be more than glad to.Thanks again,Andy A. - HTMLover
