Where do I start??

[chris123]

Hello. I have recently downloaded 1st Page 2006. And I am VERY new!...in fact I really don't know where to start...For Exaple How do I create my Home page...Furthermore, How do I put a template on there...NOTE** I do not want to buy a template.

Templates can be make in an image editor like Photoshop or The GIMP and then sliced/coded, or they can be made entirely out of code (though these sites are fairl uninteresting at the best of times).

As to making a home page, merely name it index.html and it will automatically be displayed as the home page for the directory it is in.

For more information on slicing:

For more information on code:
HTML - http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
CSS (because tables for layouts are lame, and should be avoided ASAP) - http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

I just started also. But, I did find this site: bradkidder.com/1stPage/1stPage01.html
It is for FP 2000 but at least it explains a lot of things that will apply to 2006.

chris123,

I think you'll find
this site (http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp) very helpful.

Aye, same recommendation as me. In reply to your questions:

HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language, and it is the standard language websites are written in.
