Need help with website

[scpaintballer01]

im really really new to this stuff. I kinda know HTML, but would really like to prusue website design ect... as a career someday. Ive been working with geocities, but everytime i upload a template it does not read the HTML. Basically im saying...please sombody tell me a bit of what i need to learn and where to learn it. Thanks a lot.

first switch from geos to some other free host.
50mb/1gb will be enough for you to develop your html skills

Now do you have some website alredy up that you could show? Would be easier as we'd see how well you do and could suggest some stuff.

Overally I'd suggest picking up a book or two about html and php.
And if you have the $, get photoshop and start doing some tutorials and stuff.
The key here is practice, practice and a ----load more of practice. :)

well the site is now: http://thor.prohosting.com/phogclan/

but i keep getting the red boxes. *twitch* :classic2: *twitch* ive uploaded it through Cute which is what they recommend and its still givin me the red boxes. Ive uploaded the HTML docs, the images and everything...still the same thing.

lets take a pic for example. it's location is

http://thor.prohosting.com/phogclan/images/image_18_2.jpg

in the place where you uploaded your index.html file, do you have a images folder with image_18_2.jpg in it?

this is were it has to be.

[scpaintballer01]

yes i have all the images in the "images" folder. But thery're not in "my pictures." Should i put them in my pics?

ok qute FTP says that is has an invalid name... :confused4

[scpaintballer01]

you want to persue web design with a template you got from freewebtemplates.com? wow good start!

[scpaintballer01]

please dont flame me man...i dont got photoshop, so right now im working on a very basic design.

[Wojtek]

hey, at least he kept the copyright and dosnt claim its his design

You might want to take a look at Jasc Paint Shop Pro.
It's cheaper then Photoshop. It's what I started with.

[scpaintballer01]

yeah, ive been looking at those two right now. im currently working on www.freewebs.com/musicwebdesign as a "building" project and insert things as i learn. None of the links work at the time..havnt had time to insert anything, but it will come soon enough. O and the top logo was from a free logo site place...forgot the URL.

also for Paint Shop, which one would you reccommend? The web one or Paint Shop pro 9?
