I recommend you to use PHP-Nuke because it's really easy to use...

This web is a tutorial i made, explaining step by step how to install it....

When you have it installed, it will be very easy for you to use it..

Good luck,

Well, if you want to learn the html and build valid websites, start at http://www.w3schools.com/ You can experiment with the html you pick up with notepad. Once you get the feel of things, you can start making great sites.

To make your sites learn up CSS too. you can pick up the basics at http://www.cssbasics.com/

Then when you have questions, post them at these forums. You will learn as you experiment

I bet the information you're learning would come in handy when you do your websites.

html, css - way easier than programming classes.

You could also check on download.com to see if there are any free web authoring programs there.

I reccommend that you try the Adobe (Formerly known as Macromedia) Dreamweaver! This is a professional web design tool. You can try the trial program which can be downloaded from the internet, which lasts for 15 days.

Secondly, I reccommend you also try writing your code in Notepad, as this will help you to develop your coding skills, and you will become more fluent with your code.

Again as Jensen Mentioned earlier try the website, he mentioned, w3schools.com as this will teach you the proper and valid coding skills that you need to learn, so you can create a website.

Hope this helps you in your quest to become a web master (lol)

Regards,
Zenax

Did you place your index.html/php in public_html folder? if not it wont know what your main page is.

Yep notepad is a great way to start with html there are many websites which will give you detailed info on basic html and you'll find its really quit easy, also i would suggest you try learning XHTML its basicly the same as normal html with just a few differences in the coding but nothing too complicated and html is the old way Xhtml is the new way so you'd be better of learning that.
As for dreamweaver its the best software for making websites dreamweaver 8 is great but a little on the exspensive side.
and as for your problem with the index page the advice in the last post is correct you must upload your index.html to your public_html folder for it to display ;)

Download a free basic template and then learn the code a lil bit. If u get stuck somewhere
w3schools is always there at your service.
U would code better if u learn it the practical way i.e. Trial n error.
Keep coding n see the results.
Just a suggestion!

I suggest that before you even start writing a single piece of HTML code you design the layout and generally how you want your site to look like. Since you're taking Java and Visual Basic classes (to go a bit off topic, learning two languages with two different styles of syntax?), the teacher should teach about good design of your programs.

You can do a mockup of your site design with whatever graphics tools you have available (Photoshop, MS Paint, etc.) on your computer.

After you do those two preliminary steps, open up Notepad (No Microsoft Word: Any HTML that comes out of it will end up looking like garbage) and start coding in HTML. If you don't know HTML and CSS, http://www.w3schools.com/ is always a good place to start. They've even got tutorials on AJAX, SVG, JavaScript, and Flash.

You can also get a template and start with that. Try and get a template as bare-bones as possible so you can expand on it.

If you plan on making anything dynamic on x10hosting, you will need to learn PHP eventually, although it really isn't that hard to learn.

Code:

I am new to this webhosting site and i am trying to get a website running. Hope someone can help me out here. I deleted the existing index.html that was in public_html directory, I then created an index.html offline ( which runs successfully when i view it offline ) and uploaded it to public_html folder.. The problem i have is my index.html does not load and display online. Is there a step that i am missing? Why doesn't my index.html load and display as it does when i view it offline.? Thanks.
