Need some help

[yhcln1]

hi guys, i'm new (as you can see). i want some help on how to create a web site. i know you need a domain and hosting. but what do you do after that? i already have some templates, and i use the html editor on it, but how am i suppose to upload the pics and html onto the site? thx for your help

Do you have FTP access? That helps. And what Control Panel do you have? You should be able to go to your File Manager and have a button that says "Upload Files". Templates I'm not sure about, but Pics are easy. And for HTML, you should be able to copy the code and then just paste it onto the page of whatever page on your site you want. I might be able to help you more if you give me the URL of your website.

thx, your post answered many of my questions. but does anyone know if you can use html on ebay? im trying to sell something and i want to make it look nice. thx

btw im trying out mambo and webmaster thinggy

I don't know about E-bay, i don't think you need HTML on e-bay, because millions of people use E-bay, but not very many have HTML knowledge.
I think Mambo's difficult, but at least we don't have to use HTML. And what Webmaster thingy are you talking about?

mambo isnt the best to start out with. try php-nuke. google that and see what you get. its one of the easiest CMS systems ever created. it has a moderate learning curve but youll get used to it , dont worry.

Yeah, mambo is hard for beginners. I don't really know how to use it also haha. I am running e107 CMS for my site. The url to the script's official site is: http://e107.org/ I find it pretty easy to use and it has a clean interface. It has all the functions you ever need really.

thx everyone, im switching from mambo to php-nuke. btw is there a edit button here? just wondering, its kind of weird if you can't and you have to double post

[yhcln1]

oh yeah, std i don't think i have ftp access, but i have ftp client (flashfxp if that counts)

Then that might not work. Open it, and try to go to ftp://whateveryourwebsiteis.yourextension if it works, you can just copy files you want on your website and paste them into there. And there is an edit button, but once you leave the page, you can't edit your post. And i could help more if i knew the URL of your site.
