just look around the forums for advice on making your site
basic stuff: Put all of your things in the public_html or www folders when you login to your file manager with the file manager that is in the cpanel, or by finding an FTP Client, search the forums for info on FTP Clients or google it... the page that shows welcome to your hosting site! is the index.html page, and when you go to put your site up, you should have an index.html or anindex.php page because that is the first page that will show up when people go to your site, and from that index page you can direct them to other links on your site... now if you dont know HTML umm i wish you good luck and try a few of these sites for some HTML type things, like linking, and putting an image up etc.... http://funky-chickens.com http://www.ipl.org/div/kidsweb/ http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/ http://www.w3schools.com/html/ <<goes into GREAT detail about HTML good luck |

The best way is probably going to be to make a test page and put that somewhere, to make sure that you know where to put the files. Open Notepad and copy and paste this into it:
CODE <html> <head> <title>Test Page</title> </head> <body> <p>This should appear when it is in the right place, and the default page will go. </p> </body> </html> Save that as index.html (make sure Notepad doesn't put a .txt extension on). Then go into cPanel and load up the file manager. Open the public_html directory. There should be 1 file inside it (index.htm). Delete that file by clicking the file name then clicking Delete on the right hand side. Then click the link to upload a file, and upload the new index.html you just made. Go to your web address now and you should see that page rather than the T17 default one. To make more interesting pages, I suggest you look at the links Albus has provided, especially W3Schools. Just remember that the first page anyone will see of your website is the file called index.html inside the directory called [b]public_html/b]. Visitors cannot see any other directories, only what is inside the public_html folder. If you need any more help then feel free to PM or email me and I wil help you as best I can. |

if you know html and want to learn how to create more interactive stuff like email sending forms and the like try the COMPUTERS/PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES/PHP FORUM here on trap17.
For a more in depth guide to PHP visit http://www.php.net its great for learning the various commands and functions of the php language :-) |

I have gone there before Albus D. But it only said the basics
 Or am I looking in the wrong place o the site?It talked about tables and all of that stuff but is that all there is to html? There is more but where can I find it on that site. |

QUOTE The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page that website, covers everything in HTML for making a website, with the tables you can make a website layout if you know how to use tables well enough.... |

W3school is the best website for learning web code at. Get books out from your local library, just read them whenever you can and youll soon get the hang of it.
