I am not sure on uploading a page or copying it here, but here is my jewelry site page. http://www.anzwers.org/free/exoticdragon/tail1.html (not sure why this didn't highlight during preview?)

It really isn't a formal business look, but this is the second front page I designed for this site. I do hand crafted jewelry, so I want it to look, well, not to commercial, is a good word.

I added the wave sound to match up with the ocean views, and where a lot of fashion jewelry comes from (shells, pearls, etc.), which is featured at my site.

All my coding is done in the old HTML. The new codings I never caught onto. Like FTP. I never could figure that out, so always find a site featuring the onsite uploader. Works for me.

I have several sites on the www, (vets, music, family, personal, art, sex, Erotic backgrounds, cooking, political), so I enjoying turning code into pages. And they have all been built on free host pages usually supported by advertisements. In fact, if you look at my jewelry page, it actually has less ads, than what a similar business making personal pages, and then supporting it being on the internet with ads. So free isn't a bad thingy.

Looking good, and it has to be said that these days, with third-party components you can copy and paste, you can survive with just html knowledge, I guess it depends on how much control you want, I seem to be a control freak lol.
As for FTP, you shouldn't need to learn anything, just download a decent FTP program (lots of free ones out there).

I think its a good idea to try and learn these things if possible. You can learn a bit a t a time and Like cmcook says, a lot can be done with third party programs. The problem, in my opinion anyway, with third party tools is they tend to limit what you can do somewhat, and without a full understanding of the process your designs can be limited also.

Anyway keep up the good work - and thanks for joining our little forum which we hope will start growing soon!

Hi! Since I came here last, I am moving my website to another free provider who waves ads for a $1.00 a year. Not bad at all. What promoted the move was Anszwers locked me off my website, so I cannot loggin and work on my site. I sent several emails to these people, and I have had no reply.

So if you are using a free site, make sure you have a means to contact the site and it's contact with it's owners. I spent about a month setting that site up, so what somewhat frustrated and disappointed by their actions. My new site is almost a clone of the old site: http://tailjewelry.s5.com/index.html


I like extra large full width pictures for my pages, as opposed to tiles. And there are a few ways to do this.

One way is have a program like (FREE) "Infranview," that can manipulate your picture, makes thumbs, etc. I size my webpage background pic to 1280x960 pixels. That fills my screen, but might be to large for older machines, and frankly some old win95 or win98s might not be able to open that big of an image. I then upload it to a (FREE) storage place that handles my large pics. They are rare, so here is a link ( http://www.imagecave.com/ ) to a site that will store the giant images you can then hotlink to your webpages. And sorry, little 95-98s, but I am stuck on big.

If this Giant size is a concern, here is another way to use your large picture and put it on your webpages. Get yourself the (FREE) "Splitz" program. It takes a full screen pic & cuts it into as many pieces as you need to get it uploaded to the server, and it makes you a table HTML coding complete with the pic-pieces names. After uploading just change the url names over to your server/page code. The full picture comes together when you open the page. The trick here is to cut your pic slices so they do not interfer with what you are putting on the page, like the menu, articles, or other items. You have to do that math before you splitz. These type pages do load fast, so they do have an advantage even over tiled pic sizes.

The way I code these pages is make the cut piece a background pic of the table it sits in, and then you can lay items ontop of it.

Here is the Splitz code for a large pic cut into 4 pieces.

<table cellspacing = 0 cellpadding = 0 border = 0>
<tr><td><img src="2_1_1.jpg" width=550 height=548></td><td><img src="2_2_1.jpg" width=574
height=548></td></tr>
<tr><td><img src="2_1_2.jpg" width=550 height=540></td><td><img src="2_2_2.jpg" width=574
height=540></td></tr>
</TABLE>

To make the pic into a background, you just change the <TD> properties from img src= to background=and insert the URLs for the pieces.

<table cellspacing = 0 cellpadding = 0 border = 0>
<tr><td background="http://paintedcavestorall/image/2_1_1.jpg" width=550 height=548 border="0"></td><td background="http://paintedcavestorall/image/2_2_1.jpg" width=574
height=548></td></tr>
<tr><td background="http://paintedcavestorall/image/2_1_2.jpg" width=550 height=540></td><td background="http://paintedcavestorall/image2_2_2.jpg" width=574
height=540></td></tr>
</TABLE>

Ooops! I almost fogot! You want to add border="0" with the images like so
<tr><td background="http://paintedcavestorall/image/2_1_1.jpg" width=550 height=548 border="0">

I hope you see how that works!! Wish you well

That looks really amazing man you have done neat work,,,,

The page has no content as well as no designing with no logo.Whereas the bar that you have shown to the left side is good.I liked the color changing when you drag mouse on the buttons.Keep it up and get help from any professional.
