Creating a website.
I have a question about making a website. Ive been to a few websites that say that they made them with notepad. I Dont see how you can do this. Can someone please explain it to me?

There is a code which browsers such as Netscape and IE read, the source code. All that people do is write this code themselves, instead of using WYSIWYG programmes such as Frontpage. It's not hard to learn at all...Just go to a few websites, click on view (or something, depending on your browser) and view source. Read through, guess a bit, try it out, try again and have fun!...Any questions feel free to ask
Don't worry too much about me, ignore me long enough and I'll go away.

All Web sites use HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). HTML is a subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that is used to produce paper documents. HTML is a text-only format that defines page structure and allows you to place text content within the page and reference graphics for display on your Web Browser.
Many (Most?) web sites use extensions to HTML for display or processing of data that HTML cannot perform. CGI (Common Gateway Interface), Perl and Java are common extenders to Web Servers. The Guitar Tricks Site uses CGI extensively.
When you open a web page in your browser, you can usually view the HTML source. In Internet Explorer 5, select View - Source. Notepad should open and show you the source code for the page.
You can use Notepad to create a web page - you can also use Microsoft Word 97 or later; just select "Save As" HTML. You can then open the page with your Web Browser for Viewing or with Notepad for editing.

Well, sending you this message from my Web Design class in High School I can tell you quite a bit. First of all try to take a class on it, if you like web design just a little you will love the class. I find myself doing most of my work at home and with only 3 weeks I have made my web page. If taking a class is out of the question then look at web pages that teach you. One that we use in our class is "http://www.webdinner.com" it is was usefull. Well, hope that helped.

You have to make a small file that tells the browser to open up two (or more) pages and display them in frames, which you specify. So to make simple frames page, you need three files.
I recommend HTTP://WWW.ECHOECHO.COM
Almost everthing I know about web design came from this site. If they don't have what you're looking for, they have links to several other places.

In the <body> tag, put in BGSOUND="****.***", whatever the file is. Usually its a MIDI or WAV file since the browser can play those itself.

try making the MIDI file local...put it in local directories on your site.

Well here is the code if anyone else wants it
<embed src="http://members.aol.com/awalz3/FF7prelu.mid"
autostart=True loop=false width=145
Height=55 allign="center"> </embed>
You dont have to loop it if you dont want, just put in false in the loop if you dont want it to loop and false if you dont want it to auto start.
