I'm NOT thick...but!!
« on: Tuesday 31 May 05 19:14 BST (UK) »

Hi, I KNOW I'm not thick but I have managed to get a name for my website on rootschat.com. Sadly, thats all I have been able to do. How do I put a page on it or even a photo
I suspect that I will be posting a lot on this subject
Thanks in advance
Bob

Hi Bob,

First suggestion,
read through some of the postings  on this board, how others have started out.
e.g.
From "Where do i start ?" to "At last !!!!!"
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,60069.0.html
or
Keith Bateman's contributions, and many other topics.

In particular, think about what you want your web site to do, what you want to put on it.
e.g.
What will you put on your web-site ??
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,45251.0.html

 Also have a think about the possibilities offered by your family history software. That might give you a start and you can add from there.

But first, have a browse, mull over a few ideas, and come and ask us again !
Everybody is keen to help, give us some pointers !!

OK..Perhaps I'm a little bit thick. I have got the FTP thing and I think that I have uploaded something. I think that I am supposed to design the page(s) off line and then up load them onto the webspace. Is that right?
Then again, how can I log in to the webspace and change things?

Would it be a good idea to design the content of my web space, ie colours, layout, photos, font etc and load the whole thing at once?

As you'll see in that link that Berlin Bob has provided  .....

1. decide what you want the web site to say for you
2. work out on paper if necessary how you want it to look
3. create the pages ... there are various programs to assist in this
4. copy the pages and linked files (images etc) from your system to the server

Each time you transfer a page with the same name it replaces the one already there so you can update your web site in this manner.
