I use Dreamweaver to make websites, but you could also use MS Frontpage or learn HTML and code using notepad. To upload them you'll have to learn how to use an FTP client like http://www.smartftp.com/ or http://www.cuteftp.com/

[Edit] Argh, I take too long to type up posts, gotta try and not get sidetracked by the TV -_-

All one needs to make a webpage in is notepad. For images, MS Pain(t).

To upload your website to DB Spot, you need an FTP, such as SmartFTP (google for it).

If you want to you a click and drag program (well, more or less click and drag) then you can try MS Frontpage or Dreamweaver (both cost money, haven't found a single free one). If you want a better painting tool, and don't want to pay for one, try Gimp.

Cheers,
Preston

Either will work on dbspot. As well as index.php, also I believe default.htm/html/php works

Oneka,
The best route is to have a full copy of your website on your hard disk and edit that - then upload the pages once your happy, but really your FTP program is for transferring files, once you transfer your website images, zips, and HTM files you'll be able to test it online.

Have a look for PSP3.1 too, a real early version of Paint Shop Pro, not huge functionality but it pees all over Paint, and I'd rather use it than Gimp. If you can't find it - I could email it to you (it's a demo, but not restricted in any way).

I always use .htm. Some sites insist on .html. No difference.

The only difference is early unix servers used .html, while early microsoft servers used .htm as they were limited to 3-letter file extensions.

Ok Ive done a good amount of HTML so far on my comp but now comes the question of how to get a certain layout



How do I get it so that the links are on the left side but dont interfere the position of the rest of the stuff?

Well if you make the white transparent,part of your text(highlights)will be lost too.

Use Screen blending and change the colour to white.
