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.

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.

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.
