If you want to see how much your collective help has helped me here is
what I did today. I will take it back down tomorrow and put back the
under construction page from the host site so I can work on it some
more. I am thrilled to go to bed feeling a great accomplishment and a
good start. Special thanks to Jeffrey and Neimar.

Hi,
My name is Lisa from Arizona and I am attempting to put up a
website but haven't a clue of what I am doing. Here is what I
have managed so far.
Bought a domain name and a 2-year package with webhostingpad.com
They have templates on there website builder but I have found
them to difficult to use with JAWS version 9. I had assistance to
get the templates up but couldn't edit them and that's a big problem.
I got filezilla and have managed to connect with my ftp so I could
work on my website manually because I think that would be the best
way to have control over my content. I downloaded from web
Braille the only book I could find on html written for html 4 and
xhtml which if memory serves was written in 2002. Thing is I'm
using kurzweil to read it so the syntax doesn't come out right for
me to get the code. My husband more of a novice than me says I
can just write it in ms word 2003 and save it as an html file than
put it up that way.
Don't, ever! and I mean ever! use MS Office products to do
webpages! They'll screw them up. Personally, I just use Notepad to
code my pages and the HTML by hand.
I want my website to look something like this at least the
mainhome page.
A title
OK, well hhere you go
<html>
<<head>title Whatever you want </title></head>
A welcome sentence
OK, just write anything.
7 links or so in a list the typical about us contact us and others
for example.
OK, then you would do
<h5 Navigation</h5>
<ul>
<a href= "filename.html"> WHome</a>
<li> <a hrref="Filename.htm"> Contacts</a>
and etc.
A copyright blip at the bottom.
Copyright whatever 2009
</html>
How do I do this first page and what do I call it?
See example above. Call it index.html Then how do I create the
links on the page which would direct the user to subsequent pages.
See example. As I mentioned I have ms word 2003, and notepad and
wordpad. Do you have any suggestions on what I can read on the
internet to learn this stuff or should I switch to a different
hosting company.
See the W3 Schools tutorials; they are are a great help. I have a
30-day guarantee?
I am afraid that I will spend so much time figuring out how to put
up my content that I'll never get anything up on the web.
It takes a while at first, but once you get the hang of HTML and
stuff, you'll be able to snap pages out like this. My website
will need to be updated daily with new articles and links and I
don't want it to take forever or I'll not be able to write.
Itwon't take forever.
Ok, that's it. Any help or suggestions any one has is greatly
appreciated.
Lisa
