Title: Webpage or not
Post by: 00jon00 on Wed 02/06/2004 06:10:12
You see, I'm thinking about making a webpage to "promote" my games and other crap, but I'm not sure if I should...What do you think?

You should.
Make sure you put screenshots, or no one will ever download your stuff.

ok, I can use notepad to make the page but I need some software that publishes it on the internet for others to see...I've got some on my laptop but its out dated and I want some newer stuff.  The only thing I've been able to find is either pay for domain name or use IP address....???

domain name doesnt normally give you webhosting.....

you need to find a free webhoster such as freewebs, lycos, Geocities etc. etc. etc.

K, here's the thing..Geocities, Angelfire, etc all limit you unless you pay so much a month...My laptop's got software on it that publishes webpages so that anybody on the web can view it...and its free...problem is, that programs really out dated and is have'n issues lol...it actually came with windows 95, but I kept it when I installed XP...its just not working on xp worth a crap..I was hoping to find something like it

I got webspace with a computer magazine I ordered... pages made with notepad, free to steal page layout ideas, but nothing else... See page here (http://koti.mbnet.fi/tk-/MRC), I'd say if you don't want ads and anything, it be freewebs, but the downside of FW is a very slow download speed.

Search for an FTP prog called WS_FTP LE or something... I have a 95 version on this computer, gots winme, but it works fine. The publishing wizard thingy that used to come with IE is good, but offers no free webspace anyhow. It's an automatic FTP program... I think version 4 of IE was the last that had it.

I used this (http://www.araneae.com/) to code my pages.
It's pretty much Notepad, but it uses colours to separate html thingies.
