Starting my Web Site

[wwhatley]

Does anyone have time to help an extreme newbie?

I have tried to set up a web site. I have it registered and I have uploaded a index page.

When you access the site you get a list: parent directory, index(1) html and web stats.

I am so new I can not figure out why I can not make a disect link to my index (home) page.

Thanks in advance for any help.

as a start, rename Index1[1].html to index.html.

That should make the page load properly immediately

Thank you very much for the reply.

It is not easy to be a dummy.....lol

Thanks

Feel free to post again. We are here to help you out.

I followed your advise. I deleted the index(1), saved as a new name the file to index.html and uploaded it.

It may take a while for it to be operational but as of now things are the same.

Also the image I have on the page does not show in the browser. It is OK in my preview window (I am using coffecup) editor.

Once again I thank you for helping a TRUE newbie...

make all names on the internet in small caps without spaces and without long names.

Therefore rename Index.html to index.html (small i)

Remove the space in the image name.

Thanks.....I am away to try.

I took your advice and now the site opens directly!!

Thank you very much. Now I have to figure out why the picture will not show.

Thanks again. It is truely appreciated when a new fella like me can ask a very simple question, compared to knowledge of most, and get such a nice help.

ps: I would have added one of those smilies but I don't know how just yet......

I clicked on your site and the picture still does not show. In your HTML it is referenced like this:

<center><img src="shipfull.jpg" width="350" height="250" alt="" border="0" align=""></center>

Are you sure you uploaded the picture?
Is it in the same folder as index.html?
Could the problem be .jpg as opposed to .jpeg ? ( a wild guess )
Maybe the file is named "shipful.jpg" - no double "L"?

I also checked out your source HTML. As petreza pointed out, check your picture file.

I also noticed that you are using a font that not that many others will have. If Blackadder ITC is not installed on your viewer's machine, they will see your page as you do.

I have tried to make it a practice to use common fonts that most computers will already have.

Good luck with your site and have fun!

you need to upload the pic and then is should show if you want it in its own folder then you will have to change <img src="shipfull.jpg" width="350" height="250" alt="" border="0" align="">
to
<img src="folder/shipfull.jpg" width="350" height="250" alt="" border="0" align="">
change folder to folder name

Thanks folks!

I'm away to try it.
