Improve web page coding

[xsivforce]

Very generous X-Istence.

Wow - I've got a heck of a lot of learning to do. Won't be updating the site for a while until I've figured out how to do everything.
Appreciate your offer X-Istence. Awaiting instructions - thanks heaps.

Don't worry it doesn't take long. I converted mine in about a week. And I learned from scratch.

 

[coathanger007]

Just to give you guys some background, my knowledge of coding is minimal. I created the site with Coffeecup Freehtml and used animation coding from Ace Freehtml. Then I used notepad and raw common sense to edit the code and insert code from freeservers etc for guestbook, counter and so on. Therefore I really have to learn everything from scratch with baby steps . The thing that attracts people to my site is content not coding.

 

[xsivforce]

You have a good start there. You are right, great content!

 

[Alan]

yea the content is good

But if you have to wait forever for it to load......well its obvious ....

I noticed your hit counter on the homepage and the hit counter on your appearance page has a third of a difference....this should tell you something....


Anyways looks like you have quite a few things to be getting on with.....enjoy and keep us posted with your progress

PM me a username, password, and the sub-domain you would want:

freeprograms.x-istence.com

or <anythinghere>.x-istence.com

Ill get you set up with 100 MB space, 3 GB transfer (Plenty for what you go, more if needed), email, and a control panel for your use

 

[Grandmaster]

So any progress?

 

[coathanger007]

WOOHOO - will PM you. Thanks. With 100MB space I'll be able to host small programs that used to be freeware but have since jumped boats.

 

[Grandmaster]

I thought you already read that ;p

X-istence is on vacation at the moment, so he might not reply to your PM just yet. (http://personal.x-istence.com/node/view/34)

 

[coathanger007]

Ooops - Enjoy your hols first X-istence. Guess that means being one with nature and leaving behind anything I.T.

Best place to learn HTML is here: http://www.w3schools.com/

Inline CSS is... YACK. *makes a cat-like motion to throw up*
Your intentions are no doubt good, but what you produce is in no way better than <font> ;D

What this person wants is a decent external stylesheet.

OMG i read this entire thread and the page STILL is not loaded, no mind you doing anything else to the site, sort that loading time, i cant see anyone waiting that long to look at freeware

 

[coathanger007]

OK - hosted a cut down version on my ISP - difference in loading times is huge. Hate the address though - can't wait for x-istence to come back.

amazing diffrence mate, whats the old host a 14.4 k dial up ?

dunno what you think, but a freeware site starting www.freewebs.com/decentdownloads

no banners, 100mb space if you want a better sounding name

 

[coathanger007]

I'm just wondering what's the catch. Will test out the speed first. Thanks

 

[GoNz0]

tiny banner at the bottom saying its hosted by freewebs, 40mb to start, 100mb with 1 email request, 500mb transfer p/month
no my sql

i used em b4 with no issue, good speeds back then, dunno bout now though.

 

[coathanger007]

No, this is far too inconvenient. There's no FTP access and you have to pay to upload multiple files simultaneously. What a pity

I have now added a link to a faster slimmed down version of the frontpage hosted by my ISP. Also, centered the entire page as Allan suggested.

 

[Maveric169]

I took your code from the slimmed down version and ran it through DW MX. Attached is the cleaned up code, but really it wasn't that bad. Didn't make alot of changes.
