Web Site Editor

Who is an ameture web hoster out there (I know you are Doc)?

I'm looking to re-build my website. I did my old one (hasn't been deleted yet...) with FrontPage, but now I'm on Charter and they do not support that format. So I am off to find a new HTML editor with FTP capabilities. I undersatnd that this is a standard and if I learn a new software for Charter, when I switch to Verision later this year I won't need to change again (I hope).

Does anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks in advance. Av8r

I use TextPad for editing and WS_FTP for ftp'ing. Both offer the try before you buy option. I think you'll be glad to get away from front page.

Hosting means storing files on a web server

Not sure what Charter is, but HTML is just text -- any text editor will work.

I use Dreamweaver

Av8r,
I use http://www.nvu.com/ to work on mine. For FTP, I'm using the extension for Firefox (FireFTP). Both work very well for me, and they're free.

Sorry, I guess I'm not being descriptive enough.

First; Charter is a huge TV Cable company who also provides internet service through their TV cable. Yes, I'm not looking to host, just publish something boringly simple like my last site.

Main issue: I know nothing about HTML other than thats what FP would convert to to be published by my old provider (I think?). I still use MS IE as a browser, so I don't know if the firefox options will work for me. I was hoping to be able to get something similar that has a set of instructions or something that I can follow to learn how it all works. I'm (obviously) not the brightest bulb in the marquee, so I'm looking for something simple to operate.

All opinions are welcome (except Junkman, 'cause he's been banned ).

Nevermind.

I figured out how to make FP work. Now to fill the website with my BS.

Last time I checked, Frontpage will fill up your site with BS all by it's self.

Your local library should have books on HTML. You could always search the web -- there are many sites out there to help you.

Cascading Style-Sheet (CSS) is what you really need to concentrate on. Change one file and all your pages reading the .css file change as well.

Got 'r up. www.theav8rweb.com and a domain registered to boot.

It'll grow alot over the next few months...

Looks good.........

Now, how do I make a hit-counter without all the FP crapola...

Let the glitches commence...

Look for perl / cgi scripts for counters. If you have cpanel which comes with many hosting packages web counters and other stuff is normally included.
