 Hi razorchris,
There as quite a few good places that you can learn the basics of code. I started working on a some freepages but there were way too many pop ups, but I got the basics...the heading from Corey Bryant..
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> |
Then I followed one of the links he gave me:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/
This was quite useful....for basic html code....
Eventually I went to this site and got some ideas how to do what Corey said I would do...TABLES....
http://www.hypergurl.com/frames.html
Basically one creates an index.html and then two pages, called left.html and right.html
It is probably better to stay working from one site first for some of them use different codes and then things might not work...
| Code: |
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page</title>
</head>
<frameset cols=160,*>
<frame src="left.html" name="leftside">
<frame src="right.html" name="rightside">
</frameset>
<body>
</body>
<noframes>
<a href="your main page.html">Your browser does not support frames. Click Here to enter my main Page</a>
</noframes>
</html> |
I have not really started using the code that I have learned yet, ... one needs time for such adventures...hahaha
The page I intend to revamp is
http://www.geocities.com/aerycksmusic
I am a dreamer so it might take a lot longer than it should.
I hope you enjoy the links and the code ideas...have fun and come back from time to time, I am sure once I get my pages properly coded that I will come back here and share everything I have learned, that after all was the idea behind stringing this thread.
Thanks for asking, and please invite your friends to participate on this thread...it just might start something good.
Peace,
Eric. |

Hi Corey,
I had a look at loudexpressions.com and apart from the fact that their page does not load properly, I cannot understand a word they are saying.
As I have already explained in my opening post. I have a VERY BASIC knowledge of code and want to build a website that looks good.
I learned how to put frames on the left and right and thereby break away from just centralizing stuff to make it pretty and balanced. You say this is deprecating / ending with the change of html.
To make this easier for a 'dummy code person' like myself and I am sure I am not the only one who is struggling to keep up.
Seriously, I have to build a website advertising my house in South Africa (which I am hoping to sell...soon!), so I opened one of those free websites at geocities and started out fresh by deleting all their stuff....
Now all I have is a page in the File Manager called, index.htm and this is the content.
Will you please share with me possible code to build a first page that I have already titled 'Woodlands Cottage'.
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Woodlands Cottage</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html> |
Sincerely,
Eric John Sawyer

Well, well...with a little perseverance I think I finally got the hang of Geocities page builder and have begun revampling my original 'website'...woohooo... http://www.geocities.com/aerycksmusic/ (it is hung up at the moment, cause I got to busy, but it will be back in an hour)
The site to advertize my house worked like a dream and took me a couple of hours using page builder, it is like working with building blocks...very user friendly, it may not be the best but it is 'better than all the rest'.... http://www.geocities.com/ozwoodlands/
Peace,
Eric John Sawyer

Corey, you have a very nice website.
As we say in Afrikaans, 'jy laat my my kop krap'...
I am generally quite stubborn and like to work things out myself but I was asked a question tonight..."How does one create tables that compress so that I can work on multiple pages...?"
So I entered tables and where did I come out...right here at your site....
I am a little tired after working on my site...and am managing to make quite an improvement, but I am still using a pretty mixed code and then I started reading your styles stuff and how fonts and frames are actually quite time consuming etc etc....and I can understand..thank goodness I have not got into fonts and have begun to find my way out of frames...thanks for a great site...
This is what I am doing at the moment.....it is going to change and all thanks to what you have done with this site...awesome dude, awesome...
Anyone reading this and thinking hey, I want to get my site too look better, look no further you are in the zone....go to the bar overhead that says...
TUTORIAL FORUM QUICK LIST CSS and read, read, read buddy read...it will help you build and amazing website.....
Eric
Practicing your codes...
