I hate paint. Not that I like images in general, but when I do them I prefer Photoshop

Photo$hop is overkill for me, if I can't do it in paint (or gifworks.com) it's not worth doing, lol.

Besides, notepad is a wysiwyg, what with upgrading from edit.com and all. haha - noobs are gonna think it's a site, you OG's (original geeks) know what i'm talking about...

hardcore baby...hardcore

"edit.com" is the DOS equalivent of "Paint" in Windows.

still, learning curve = minimal. more time to actually learn proper code (what a concept, eh).

Stay away from those fancy web tools. It will be better in the long term to learn HTML and style sheets. The most impotent reason being you will know exactly what you did and why you did it. Your site can start simple and go from there.

Good luck.

i swore i posted in this thread o well, anyway yeah flash is disgusting, i have 1 flash object on my testing site that ima upload to my real site eventually... freewebs.com/fallingrain11/outcome.html ... i would agree learning html and style sheets is the best way to go really all you gotta do is upload some backgrounds, and pics to bring some life to the page, get a good table going to neaten things up, maby toss in 1 or 2 flash objects at most... and write your site, thats what i did and i love the way its looking...

nice site btw deuce, looks good... paint FTW !!! although i do occasionally use photo shop on a rare occasion...

Well... I see you did NOT follow the advice provided and, instead, not only went the M$ Word approach, but also completely ignored the advice to write valid code...

The code behind http://podiumphoto.110mb.com/ has:

• 96 Errors
• no DOCTYPE
• no Title tag
• the Source Code alone weighs in at 67kB and then you (a photographer!) have a 440 by 352 px image that adds yet another 61kB

Good luck maintaining the site!

Hi,

Anyway what I came up withdoesn't look right any advice?

Complete novice with thing whole thing.

Yep, start a new thread and post a link to the site or the HTML itself so we can see what's up.

Peace...
