Hi there I am quite a newbie for HTML stuffs so I need some advice and instruction please I use Hostgator and basically, I have designed 2 pages of mini website ready to upload to the the server. I have already done so for the HOMEPAGE as I know, to upload it, I would need to go to FILE MANAGER, then UPLOAD and then name the file as "index.html" homepage. And done... Now my next question is.......becasue I have created 2 pages, for the next page where on my homepage, it will have on "click on next page" icon, where do I upload the second page under in the server? If you can instruct me in the way like first, go to File Manager------->Public HTML----------> etc I dunno what to do as well as what to name as for 2nd page in the website Anyone could advise me would be greatly appreciated please
upload it to the same directory as your index.html file. The you can link to it with yoursite.com/your_2nd_page_name.html. You can name your pages pretty much whatever you like. Think about what the page is about before naming it, keep it relevent.
Just upload the 2nd page to the same directory of index.html which should now be in the document root of yoursite.com. For example, if you name that page goodstuff.html, and upload it to the document root of somesite.com, you can always access it through http://www.somesite.com/goodstuff.html. So you can link to it with <a href="http://www.somesite.com/goodstuff.html">Some good stuff in here</a> Just put the code above somewhere in your index.html and the goodstuff.html is linked from your homepage.
Hi there First of all, thank you for your response as I really appreciate that Just a couple of more questions, if you don't mind, 1) Under the "UPLOAD" secition, I see there are like 12 "Browse" for to choose to upload and I wonder why there are so many of them and what's the use for as I thought one is enough?? 2) In the common website we always go to, we often see on the top or on the left hand side, where it has like an icon to click on such as "FAQ", "Contact", "Home" etc. Where do put those links under which directory as well? 3) For the 2) above, how do I make those tabs or a bar thing whether it is on the top or left handside if I want to make for "FAQ", "Contact", "Home" etc. Is it hard to create them? I use NVU Thanks for your time
1) I don't use hostgator, so I'll go with my instinct, that 12 "Browse", one for each directory that you currently have - all of them don't necessarily have to be your creation, some might be system directories that you don't want to know more about. 2) You may want to make faq.html for FAQ, contact.html for contact information and etc. and put them all in the document root - the same directory of index.html. Then you are to link those .html files that you have created from index.html 3) I thought you have coded some HTML so should be able to learn at http://www.htmldog.com/ fast. Basically, you need to make up a HTML list or simply layout the menu links in tables and style them using CSS. Just head for http://www.htmldog.com or http://www.w3schools.com for info about HTML + CSS webpage design, and try out on your own computer. They are easy and you should be able to answer these questions yourself in less than 24 hours. Good luck!
