Hello all,
So I'm giving it my best shot at this web design bit. I'm working on improving/changing a site done in HTTP. I transfered all the files to my computer and made some changes. When I upload the pages back to the site, how do I create new links? Get everything flowing. Also, if I put a upload a new picture, how do I put it on a page? Thanks!

hmm....
HTTP hyper text transfer protocal
that really doesn't give us much to go on how you're site is done. Was it created with a editor like dreamweaver etc..
are there links on the apge already?
a link is added like this in it's simplest form
<a href=&quot;pagename&quot;>Link to Page</a>

images are usually placed in a folder named images for order
to add a image in it's simplest form
upload the image say in a images directory (folder) and do
<img src-&quot;imagename&quot;>

here's a example of a page with a image and link
<html>
<body>
<a href=&quot; see onpnt</a>
<br>
<img src=&quot;smile face.gif&quot;>
output on page [lol]
</body>
</html>

if you need something really specific get a little more detailed or show some code etc..

hope that helps A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

sorry the image in a image directory (folder) was meant to be
<img src=&quot;images/smile.gif&quot;> [lol]

That helps a lot. (Sorry, I didn't mean http, I meant html) After I make changes, I upload it using FTP, but when I go to the site, the changes aren't there. Then, when I go back to the page, the changes aren't saved. Is there a step I'm missing?

what are you using to change the pages. notepad etc..

when you FTP the pages and then you go to view the site you're refreshing the page correct.
Try also hitting ctrl + F5 to clear the cache

I am using notpad. I have not been refreshing the pages, but how does that effect the changes not saving? Thanks!

what exactly do you mean by the changes are not saving? you click save in notepad and it isn't saving or it isn't appearing as if it is saving? You need to refresh the page everytime you make a change for you to see the change in the browser A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

Mel,

There's some really good tutorials which will help you a lot, visit any of the following site for info. Just take your time, print these out and study them in your spare time.
The basics are quite easy once you get used to looking at the codes and recognising what everything does.


If you want something better than notepad this editor
will help you write HTML. It will also help you correct mistakes. it's easy to use if you take it step by step and it will help keep your code &quot;clean&quot;

Welcome to the world of HTML!
