this is so CONFUSING!
like, i cant even open up new pages.
you know? like, there is HOME,
then LAYOUTS, then GRAPHICS,
for instance. right? well,
then, i put a website template right?
and you have to put the links in.
i dont know what link to put in for layouts,
graphics, &blah. its just HOME, and
i dont know the link to put to view another page.
this is confusing o.O
any help would be appreciated[:

I'm confused as to what you're asking.

Err....... it would be the-file-name.the-file-type, right?

For example, if you have a page called "layouts" that's a regular .html file, you'd link it like this:

Since it's in the same directory, there's no http://.

(By the way, and I mean absolutely no offense, but your habit of hitting enter after every few words has been bothering me for a while.)

Sorry, I really don't know what you're asking either. Can you post your code and a link so we can see the site you're working on?

ahha, sorry [x just a habit. &i mean, okay, imagine this layout on my site.
http://www.createblog.com/layouts/code.php?id=29869
okay? well, you have to put links in it right?
like ill put in LAYOUTS as a link, then it will go to another page with my layouts there, but its the same layout and everything. so, if im done looking at the layouts section, i want to go home, so i click home. right? well, the part i dont get is what the link is to have another page in my site. you know?
ex. http://atomicaffliction.com/
if i click DIV LAYOOUTS it takes me to another page, i dont know what the <a href="THIS PART"> url is. im sory, im really new at this. and my site is down.

Okay! So, let's say you have all your pages. They're called home, layouts, graphics, about, and page5 (I couldn't think of anything else). In the template code, find the area for the navigation and changes the links' destination URL like you would for any myspace layout. Like so (I'm copying and pasting the code):


You do NOT need "http://www.yoursite.com/" because it's all in the same directory. Hopefully.

So you need to write out these pages and save them as .html files (or if you're going to use PHP .php files). Each page is a separate file. You'll have home.html, layouts.html, graphics.html, about.html, and page5.html. Basically, every single page has the same codes, except for the content area (because you want them all to have the same layout, but different content). The exception to this is if you're using PHP, but I don't think you've gotten that far yet.

Then you need to upload all of those files into your root directory. Since you're using 000webhost.com or whatever, which comes with cPanel, you can upload the files through that. Otherwise you might have to use an FTP host like FileZilla or SmartFTP. (Again, I don't think you've gotten this far yet.)

I'm still not entirely sure if this is what you're confused about, but I hope this helps a bit.

^that helped like immensely. lmfao. im still confused about stuff, but you made it THAT much clearer. thanks[:
that was really helpful !


so wait, i save what i want to show up on the page,
like for example,

WELCOME TO MY LAYOUT PART OF THE PAGE, blah blah blah
LAYOUT 1 - CODEEE blahh
LAYOUT 2 - AKHSLDJAJDK

so i make all that ^ stuff on like word, then save it as a html.
THEN i upload as a file on cpanel. right?
[sorry for all the questions, im like seriously noobish, lmfao]

Haha, no problem. :] I can understand how it's so confusing; learning how to code a Myspace or Xanga layout before learning how to code a website is a bit like reverse learning.

^haha, yeeah, thanks[:
&i have a little question that i posted up there. sorry, xP
lol. but was that right?

Uhm, I don't think it'll work in Word. I personally use Notepad, and when I want to save it I go save as and specify the file type as .html. Or you could save it as a plain text document, then change the file extension from .txt to .html.

There are some programs that will code your pages for you, such as Microsoft FrontPage or (I think?) Dreamweaver. I've never used them because if I code my pages by hand I actually get what the hell the codes mean, which makes troubleshooting easier. You could try, but they're usually expensive. I'd suggest just learning to code by hand.

^alright thanks[: yeah, im pretty familiar with coding, and html and what not. so, once the site is back up, imma try that[:
really, thanks for all your help,
really appreciate it[:

No problem

PLEASE CLOSE & MOVE TO RESOLVED.
thanks.
