Web Sites

[LaconianShot]

I'm thinking of possibly making a PS website that would feature mainly artwork, pictures...etc...except the only problem is, I know nothing about making Websites. If someone could possibly enlighten me about how you do it...particularly Benoit, because you said you made your websites on Notepad which is the medium I would like to use <blockquote>it's more like real work</blockquote> so...anyone?

Try to find a basic tutorial on HTML. That's how I learned it. I found a basic tutorial in a computer magazine.<p>Then you write it in Notepad, and instead of saving it as a .txt file, you save it in .html<p>Since it's vacation now, who knows I'll have the time to translate that whole article (it's in Dutch). %)

Thanks Benoit.

At this point in ime I only know 1 language and thats english. I do plan on either learning japanese, latin, or german

Yeah, there are tons of decent HTML tutorals out there. After all, it is the language of the internet.<p>Benoit: I used to use notepad until I found textpad (http://www.textpad.com. Its non cripped, non time limited shareware). Having code highlighting combined with a spell checker that doesn't check inside tags is so nice.

[Benoit]

I consider software that does such checking for lazy people. If you type it correctly the first time, meaning you pay attention, you don't need a checker.<p>And I don't really need flashy stuff...

To each his own, Benoit. #)

I guess...

I found a great site! It features an interactive tutorial on html. It's www.davesite.com and then a bunch of links that I can't remember. So far I just know the basics, but I agree with Benoit. Doing it on Note Pad gives way more control without limits, plus, I think it ultimately makes you better at coding html. Now that I know a bit about html, it makes me realize how much work it takes...and looking at this site...it must have been dificult...

Aye, "www.davesite.com" - that's the one I referred to several months ago when I was planning on making my own site. I never really got around to it, though.

[LaconianShot]

Does davesite eventually get around to teaching how to make a website fancy (like this one)? Oh, and if you want more info on my upcoming site...feel free to ask...I won't get into much detail just yet though...

[Mizehrith]

If I'm not mistaken, there were a few design tutorials somewhere on the site. Look around, and I'm sure you'll eventually find something.

I stil remember something about HTML, there was a period when I studied because they proposed me a work which involved HTML knowledge (it then turned out in nothing). It had taken me some time, but the pleasure of making a site with only the notpad is priceless, but often nicer results are obtained useing stuff like Frontpage, Dreamweaver, and so on.<br>It really depends on how much work you are willing to put, how much spare time you have, and so on.
