I have talked the local Car Club into letting me "practice" setting up websites by doing their first one. They know I have never done one before, and they also know that there is a good chance that they will get what they pay for (doing it for free
)
I got a book from the library, and it has helped, but I am afraid that it may be to outdated.
Fist off assume I am doing everything offline, with all the files located on my computer, no online work just yet. I know when the time comes I will have to have the pictures hosted, and I may see if Cliff will let me use PIP (If I remember right he had set it up for multiple websites).
Question 1. How do I get pictures to show up, When I try to get a background all I see is a broken link, kinda the same as when I put up a fake
www.blablabla link just to have something there.
Question 2. How are pages divided? For instance, say I want the same type of layout as PFF'S main page, with links on the left, information in the middle, and ads, or polls on the right. What would I do to get that seperated?
Question 3. Where can a person get a good (free) program for a Forum?
Question 4. Cliff can I link to PFF?
Question 5. Cliff can I use PIP? And how would I get it set up to work with the site in question?
Here is the basic start of the page, I went more indepth with a few of the other pages, I didn't set up the links until I had the other page at least halfway, so half are just my bla bla links. Like I said, no pictures, and no real dividers makes it look crappy.
I am proud of myself for actually starting this, I know I have been talking about it for a few years.
