How to best use my free web space
My ISP (insightbb) gives my some web space that I can do what I want with. I just want to be able to host some pictures. Nothing fancy. I've been through their do it your self webpage builder program and I'm sure It's fine if you want that sort of thing, but I just want stripped down basic picture viewing. Is there a simple way to set that up? Like a directory, I suppose? Is that ftp? I am a moron with this, but I'm willing to learn. Anybody point me to a place where I can get these questions answered?
Muchos gracias, KY Chris

alrighty. sounds like you just want to do some basic stuff. i'll try and give you a quick lesson on publishing pictures.
Getting the Pics "ONLINE" *check to see if you're isp has an online interface for uploading photos to your webspace. if so, use that. if not, you'll need an ftp program. ws_ftp is a commonly used one that's easy to use. i'll not go into how to use that cause there are good tutorials out there on each different ftp program. Posting Pictures now i'm not sure what you want to do here. you can either use your space for remote linking (to post on forums) or you can use it to post http pages that display your images. *so we'll tackle the 1st scenereo (sp?) you need to find out what your webspace is called. it's usually your account username. as an example, we'll use mine. my isp is cox.net and my username is vt_steve_05. in this webspace, i have a handfull of images. one is named "funny_hockey.jpg" so the complete url to this pic is "http://www.members.cox.net/vt_steve_05/funny_hockey.jpg". (NOTE: you will need to find the first part of your webspace url - ie the members.cox.net equivalent). now to post this image on the forum, you need to surround that complete url with image tags -- [IMG][/IMG]. if you do it correctly, you should see the image...  * now if you want to have a web page display these images, you'll need to create an html page. you can either use MS Frontpage or another web authoring tool...or you could hand write you own. that's how i did my personal web page. i will give you a VERY BASIC example. you'll need to open up a text editor like notepad and type this: Quote:
ok, now save this file as "photopage.html". then you'll need to ftp it to your webspace. and there ya go! so, there ya have it in a nutshell. i hope this is what you were looking for. if you still have questions, feel free to throw them at us. we're here to help.

I had to learn HTML for a class last semester cause I had to build a web page and had to buy a book that believe it or not is super useful- less than 200 pages, big type, easy easy easy to understand. Teaches you what you need to know quick. I'll lend it to ya if you like as I have no use for it now.
