Question From A Noob

[Extreme]

ok well i dont really know anything and am doing this blind. i read the stuff in the pinned topic... "html and css tutorials". if gives a basic explaination of how to make the scripted pages that are the website by defining all the tags. but is there a sample page where several of those are on it and perhaps a screenshot or link to a page what uses several of those?

 

i am trying to see how i would create the homepage and what to do and where. i see how the commands work but not how they would all go together on a page.

 

i also dont know where in my cPanel or on the ftp that i can find the homepage at my website. currently at the site you see a white page with a link to my phpBB3 forums. http://tregonia.net/ So i am surely not in the know here

 

so again...where can i find a sample page that shows all the scripts inline and a view of wha the page would look like?

I would reccomend starting here ---> http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

 

Just read each section under HTML Basic, it is a quick read and provides working examples that you can even edit.

And to take it a step more in the automated direction take a look at Nvu which is a WYSIWYG editor and publishing program.

 

You FTP your pages to the public_html folder.

well i know they are in that folder

 

i just dont know what the file would be called that would have the basic homepage. there shouldnt be much there really. I just dont know what that file is called

[TCH-Bruce]

It's called a Home page and named: index.html usually or index.php

The W3Schools site that Dick recommended is an excellent resource, and as one who has been learning HTML, CSS, and PHP on his own for the past couple of years, I would also recommend it. I have the site bookmarked on my computer at home, and refer to it often when creating or editing a web page.

 

There are sections on that site for HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, PHP, Java, and much more. Not only are the tutorials easy to follow, but being a tutorial offered by the W3C consortium, you will be learning how to code HTML and CSS that will validate.

Thats what i needed

 

and i will get into the tutorials when i can. Does anyone know where i can get a list of the index colors? I can get several from the phpBB3 forums since those are used to make forum post colors...but i was curious if there were more

[TCH-Bruce]

There are a lot of codes you can use for colors. Here is one site that will allow you to blend colors

THAT IS AWESOME

 

i will sooooooo use that.
