Has anyone ever made a web site?

Back in time when excite and altavista was the most popular search engine, I try to make website with homestead and geocities. Anybody know what I am talking about :teeth: I would like to make it good one again one more time

    I had a geoshitties site, back when personal sites were nothing more than personal information and some pictures...definitely great for would-be stalkers looking to find where you are and what you look like.

    I have my own domain now, mainly used it for blogging, but hardly even touch it anymore. I make use of a small percentage of my monthly bandwidth limit. So, if anybody's looking for hosting, just ask me, I have plenty of free space!

    These days I fiddle about with Frontpage 2000 or even just do the HTML by hand, since I don't make super-massively-colorful websites. :)

    Hey NukeChem, I was fooling around with frontpage last night but for some reason I kept getting broken images when I published the page. Am I doing this right? To insert a logo to a blank index.html page, I go: file>import, then insert>picture

    It shows on the index page but when I publish all that comes up is a placeholder for the image with a broken image icon

    You have to make sure the picture is linked properly.

    Do you mean that when you upload it onto the web, the images aren't showing? Because 99% of the time, when that happens, it's because the image is linked from your own computer, ie. c://folder/mypicture.jpg, and it's not linked to the proper location on your webserver. FrontPage is stupid like that.

    If you're just viewing it on your computer as an HTML file, remember not to move the image files from where you linked them.

    Did you check the permissions associated with that directory? And like MB said t was possible that FP mucked up the filename but it looks like it has not been mucked up.

    Just to clarify the directory structure though, you have something like this, right?

    /yourwebsitedirectory/index.html
    /yourwebsitedirectory/images/nextphonelogo.gif

    If that's the case I don't see any particular reason why it should be screwed up, but it may be some peculiarity of the web-host you use.

    Thanks for the suggestions, it must be a problem with the web host. Such a simple thing for fuck's sake
