lorne Posted June 9, 2004 CID Share Posted June 9, 2004 So i was thinking of starting my own site. Not really a forum or anything, just a place where friends can share stuff It would just be small and would only be certain people and i would like it to be password protectec if possible so no idiots can get in. Of course the TestMY.NET people would be welcome. So could somebody point me in the right direction as far as a template and free Space is concerned. And any tips you might have for a complete n00b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecliptic Posted June 9, 2004 CID Share Posted June 9, 2004 heh thanks for the opinions on the site, i never took any html/web design classes or any of that, so i guess for just learning on my own its pretty good. as for gettings stuff from comp -> server, u can use ftp, they have alot of progys out there, i personaly use aceftp 3. as for code, there are alot of wysiswyg(say it like wizzywug) that is, What You See Is What You Get. where u can just throw stuff together, geocities has one of these built into their website, when u want to create your own, you just use their page builder. as for knowing the code, u dont really HAVE to, its just nice to so you can get what you are looking for. so if you are just looking for something very simple, u can use geocities's( http://www.geocities.com ) pagebuilder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted June 9, 2004 CID Share Posted June 9, 2004 Yea... my first site was on Geocities, god... that must have been in 1995-1996 ~ Geocities was just starting out themselves ~~~ well what I am tring to say is that it is a good place to start out. - Damon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted June 10, 2004 CID Share Posted June 10, 2004 back then geocities was the shit... Now everything has just gone downhill... If you dont have banners you get on a slow server... if you want a fast site then you get huge popus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
