Thread Name: Tech: website - how to make one
Subject: RE: Tech: website
I put up this website using MS-WORD. I knew it would probably have to be re-done but -- I could hardly ask Bill which HTML editors we have, could I, it would have definitely spoiled the surprise.
Only about 2/3 of it will have to be redone . However I had to use an HTML editor just to get the thing to work at all! WORD had done that trick of referencing images on my hard disk, and even with editing the HTML I can NOT get them to reference my uploaded images unless I use WORD's conventions. Going to have to rip out WORD's code and re-write. Heartily agree, don't use MS-WORD to create web pages. But it got the initial job done for me.
Rabbit, I was helped by my (obsolete) copy of Web Pages for Dummies, and there's an HTML For Dummies book. The thing I've found is that on-line tutorials include all the facts but don't give you a picture of what to do with the facts. The Dummies books are good for getting that mental image of what can be done and how. They may be available at the library, or used book store, remainder store etc.
