    It's really easy.
    You have a template.
    Make a road map on paper as to what you want to do.
    Create your separate pages.
    Edit the easy stuff.
    What your directory structure.
    It is really that easy.

    hehe I have had it all set out for the last 2 days in front page just trying to figure out how to get it loading properly.. lol
    Hopefully my last question, infront of <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" do I need to place the file location of the .css file?

    Look at the template you downloaded.
    The index.html and the style.css are in the root directory, so if you look at the <link href
    it is pointing to the root directory where the file is stored.
    A server is just another pc sitting somewhere else. It uses the same style file structure.
    Kinda of like having a pc and a laptop at home - one is fixed in some room and the other is in another room - but both use the same file structure.
    Like MyDocuments or MyPictures.
    You could have in MyPictures with 20 files in it and a sub-directory called Mygreatestpics and in that directory you could have 10 files.
    Are you getting the idea?

    do you have the directory name correct - upper/lower case
    is it UPPERCASE Images or lowercase images

    It is a Capital I for the Image directory
     
  9. ishkey

    ishkey Moderator, Logos, Sports Crests Staff Member Verified Member

    change the capital I to a lowercase i everywhere you referenced it in the html file and rename the directory to a lowercase images.
    Try not to use Capital case. If you look in the css file you will not see a capital Images.
    When programming you have to remember to be case aware.

    111.118.160.55/~perfects/
    is this some sort of free address from your ip
    because if it is - your website will never be indexed or found by the search engines.

    You can temporarily view your web pages by going to:
    http://111.118.160.55/~perfects/

    Please print and save this email for future reference, it contains very important information about your account.

    Domain Name : perfectscents.com

    Error!
    Could not locate remote server


    Never seen "You can temporarily view your web pages by going to:"
    a ~ in the name normally means some free space your ip gives you.
    Each host is different.
    Not likely - I upload, download, add, delete all day long. A server is just another hard drive.

    the main thing for now is that it's working (the template that is) so I can get to work on it now
