Kstar__2 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 dude, give us your website adres first now, what you do: 1. find out the adress of your webpage 2. post it here so we can help you 3. rename the file to monkey_island_1.txt (no capitals in the name) 4. delete the other file, and upload the one with the underscores and in low-cast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Eggplant Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 depending on what you are doing and how complex you want to get, determines what kind of assistance i can give you. i design websites from scratch the old fashion way by writing my own html code. it is not as pretty or cool as flash but it gives a larger reception to people who have older machines and even older browsers on their machines and there are still lots of people with 56k modems out there. htm or even shtml are versions i have seen. if you are using a webbuilding program frontpage eyecandy etc etc they want doc style files. frontpage has its pluses and minuses the worst thing about using a webpage builder is that if even one letter is spelt wrong or a bracket or " or . gets out of place the page goes wonkt and you have no idea why? where if you learn html code by heart you can find and fix the problem quicker. if you want help PM me any time or get me email address and if anyone needs elemnts of desktop themes built icons cursors etc also give me a shout.

Darth Eggplant Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 here is a sample of html code for you i will place it inside asterisk so it will show up copy the code to get an idea of how to make a link using an image. i will also show you a link using text. *< *p align=center*>*<*a href="*monkeyisland.txt*"*> *<*img src="monkeyislandbanner.jpg"*> *<*/a*>*<*/p*> this is a hot link or href meaning it refers to a file hot links can go to mp3 or wav files exe files image files jpg bmp gif it can also link through text for example *< *p align=center*>*<*a href="*monkeyisland.txt*"*> *<*font size=5 face=*arial color="*darkorchid*">*<*b*>* click here for my monkey island story *<*/b*>*<*/font*>*<*/a*>*<*/p*>* if the hot link or href is to a file two things will happen a left mouse click usually shows file from site, for a download a right mouse click pop up menu box which person then saves as target. if you want an automatic download place the file as as .zip file then left or right the file downloads. if you want the story to be on another page inside your site say off the main page or whatever you wouls say *<*a href*="*monkeyislandstory.html*"*>* or if it were at another site you would say *<*a href*="*http*://*www*.*whateverwebsite.com*/*monkeyisland.*txt* or mp3 or html or jpg*"*>* and you would link from one site to another or download from another site a file. hope this help you some remove all the asterisks they are only there so you can see the code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt-Liell Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Sorry to go off topic a bit but a little warning is needed. I have looked at your site and seen some rather familiar pieces of work, which you did not make and some which have your name on it. Now just as a future note be careful, many artists may not like that. Be sure to give due credit to people, otherwise they may get mad. Just as an example I made this sig for ET Warrior but you have taken out his name and put yours on it. Now I don't really care all that much I'm just trying to be helpful!
