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
