That's okay because you have a huge team of folks who are always willing to answer questions and help you over the rough spots.
This page and the ones that follow are an attempt to get you started. They contain step-by-step instructions on everything from which software to use and how to use it, to putting final touches on a page to make it look attractive.
If the text is too small, you can hold down your Ctrl button and tap the + (plus) key to the far right on your keyboard to make
it larger (tap it several times, if you want).
If you want an idea of what a webpage looks like overall, you can Ctrl and - (minus) to make it smaller.
When you want to go back to normal, Ctrl 0 (zero).
If you get lost in this tutorial at any point, you can click the Menu button up there and find what you were working on. The Home button will bring you back to this page. The Next Page and Previous Page buttons are for the TUTORIALS. The tutorials are arranged in a specific order so following Next Page is your best bet. If you have questions, use the Contact Me button for my email address or download Discord and I'll send an invitation to my server. Discord is a great real-time chat program and it also has voice chat. If Discord scares you, I might be persuaded to give you my phone number.
The very first thing you need to do is choose some software (apps). There are a lot of programs that will build a web page for you and some of them are free! The same goes for FTP software and text editors. Don't worry if you don't know what these are, I'll explain.
An HTML editor (hypertext markup language) that uses point-and-click or drag-and-drop to build a page is usually called WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) because you work in a space that reflects everything you do as you're doing it and usually displays the same way on the Internet as it does on your computer. They're the simplest to use and we recommend starting with one.
Before you rush off to find a program, remember that it needs to be something that we can help with. If we don't know the software, our answers may take some time or might possibly be incorrect. For this tutorial, I'll be using SeaMonkey. It's actually a very nice web browser that has a WYSIWYG HTML editor included.
FTP (file transfer protocol) software is used to move your site from your computer to your web space and that's called UPLOADING. You can also use it to DOWNLOAD files from your site to your computer. For this tutorial, I'll be using FileZilla.
All versions of Windows come with a text editor called NotePad and Mac has TextEditor. These are great programs, not quite as handy for working on websites as some of the others but you won't be using a text editor very often so the Windows and Mac versions should work quite nicely. I use a very old version of NoteTab Pro (you can't get one this old any more).
