hmm I'll give it a try on a practice webpage. All the stuff I did in dreamweaver, I uploaded with FTP, but I couldn't use it. I was happy with my dreamweaver coding as well

Learning HTML is really very easy and your certain to benifit from it. I completed the basics of these tutorials in about a week.


the <div> tags should be working as they work with all doctypes and aren't a very recent feature.


On the subject of updating it, if you did that on the actual site instead of in the source code than you could save it to the database with php ect and wouldn't need to buy anything. <- really badly explained, but I'm lazy so you'll have to make do.

the editing thing isn't an issue now as long as I use the template the hosting site offers

I would highly advise against W3Schools as a learning source. Skype's link is far, far, far, far better a guide.

W3schools is a good site for looking up syntaxes and stuff but don't use it to learn because they don't actually explain anything on the website. They just show you what to do.

You shouldn't be, lol. The code is very messy and as I said it wont validate. The layout doesn't even display correctly. As I said, look through those tutorial videos I posted and you'll be on your way to created professional layouts in no time.

I have to agree that it covers the code in more detail, but w3Schools covers more in less detail.

And anyway, did you really have to use so many far's? It kinda hurt my feelings. cry)

In Firefox it's right click - view source. Chrome, it's right click - inspect element. There's an option in every browser to see the HTML of a site.

I didn't get to write any of that. It asked me to upload files with FTP, so I did, I uploaded the site I designed and it made me choose all this template bulllshiiit

Don't use template generators, they are pretty much always awful.

The ones I did in dreamweaver, I meant that I was happy with what I had done, and disappointed that I didn't get to use what I created, I could only use the template

I didn't get a choice. with that hosting it pretty much forced me to use it

According to the guy when I opened a ticket, I had to use site builder in order to create my website. Using that automatically puts a template on it

No you don't. You can just upload the html and related files under the htdocs for the domain via ftp or cpanel(I think its cpanel, they may be using vistapanel, not 100% sure.) Its fine to buy a domain to hold onto but you really need to learn front-end web development.
