Creating A Webpage:
 

Right so I guess COMCAST gives me my own space for a page, so I need to know what do I need to get started? I know what I want on their but all this talk of FTP, HTTP is making my balls hurt worse than a Steel-Toe-Kicking. What do I need?

Reading JACK now. Explains it simply enough. What the fuck is WS_FTP.

tis to upload the .html, pics, movies shit like that to the web

ok. Ok how do I phrase this:

I have Macromedia Studio. It has DREAM, FIREWORKS and FLASH. Now it seems FIREWORKS and DREAM put the HTML code in the thing for you right? It uploads all that. When I work in these, it'll save an HTML and then I upload to where? Yea I'm a b00n at this, but theres alot of shit I wanna do since I'm being allowed to take classes on the subject.

it will save as .html bascially contact comcast or get the info on how to set it up using WS_FTP LE

retrieve the
profile name
host name/address
userID
password

you then upload it to your account site using ws_ftp

i use adobe golive as my html authoring tool

If you are new to HTML ect i STRONGLY suggest checking out Namo it is basically drag and drop and has a built in FTP which is used to upload the website to your host and once u get more into HTML ect Namo also has ALL the features as GOLIVE you can dl a demo at http://www.Namo.com it is a FULL featured 30 trial demo

Kool - thanks to JUDAS and OLD ( ed: - OLD did something good!) for the HTML tutorials. Really made shit easy to get into.

Ok now I need some music software - JUDAS i got word u was the man. Canned music, preprogrammed music, and kind of sounds, any kind of program that takes text and interprets the text as canned-voices, shit like that.

What would someone recommend in a Web Host.

yeah i mess around with sound forge sometimes ... i can get you a copy of it but im not sure it does what you need

Im not sure exactly what your looking for but there is a free prog out there called shit talker that u can type stuff and it will say it ect just search for it on google

i prefer using good old notepad to write web pages

Yea I been doing that, plus I guess its better to know the basics.

Some websites, like Earthlink or Geocities, have their own HTTP-based FTP program. For example, DoD Studios; it allows you to upload images to their webserver using a FTP protocal in a HTTP webpage format. If Comcast has that, you can use that. A more powerful tool would be a FTP client though. Some of the better ones are CuteFTP and WS_FTP.

A good way to start learning HTML is to use a program that gives you a WYSIWYG option (What You See Is What You Get.) As most people will say that MS Frontpage is crap, it IS a good program to learn HTML code. It works much like MS Word does; you insert text / images / tables, whatever, and you can then choose the HTML tag at the bottom to see how everything you put on the page was generated. This is how I first learned HTML code. You can also look into CuteHTML and CoffeeCup HTMLEditor, they have the same effect.

I got Homesite 5.0 - basically a notepad with tons of features. I dont particualrly like the HTML-Dummy Programs. I can see using them in the future just to speed certain things up, but right now Homesite is a great program, that allows me to view what I'm doing as I type, as well as having the advanced options things like Dreamweaver offers.

Besides its a welcome diversion to focus on typing.

And I said FU to Comcast and decided to spend the money to get my own website. www.[insertlater].com. Right now theres a bunch of shit - and I mean that literally - on there.

I also havent figured out what I need embed music into my index page.

Red stop spamming.

I know how to embed .WAV & .MIDI files into webpages, dunno about .MP3s though. If need be, tell me, and I'll give you the code needed.

Html has always made my head hurt cry:

.WAV and MIDI is fine. I can always convert good bless ware...I mean god bless PURCHASING POWER! Yea that's it.

Converting .MP3 to .WAV isn't warez. You can do it with freeware built into WinAMP

[code:77a00]<EMBED src="http://website.com/file.wav" autostart=true loop=false volume=100
hidden=true><NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="http:/website.com/file.wav"></NOEMBED>[/code:77a00]

AUTOSTART = Plays when it downloads
LOOP = Continous play
VOLUME = hmmm. ..
HIDDEN = Wether or not the controls for the sound will show up on the page. I don't think this will work for any Windows Media Player versions over 6.4, but give it a shot.

It IS possible to upload MP3s for embedded playback, but usually not without an HTML Encoder plugin, which can cost money.

Ahhh cool, got it to work. . .now here's the thing, if I did want controls can I make one or does it have to come from some fancy ass program - cause that Windows Player looks gay.

bah i just make a web layout in ps then slice it in imageready then just make some iframes where i want text and shit to go

It uses whatever default media player is on the persons PC to open .WAV files. For example, if I looked at it, and my default proggie was RealPlayer, then it would open up with mini-RealPlayer controls.

Still a work in progress, but for basic HTML bullshit - I think it's on its way. Only two workable links so far, but soon we'll get there.

Thinking about adding a forum section as well as soon as I can figure out how to do that.

Dont know how to do flash yet, when I do "THE ED HOW TO Series" will be up ASAP.
