Wondering if anyone here could offer thoughts on these, especially for a beginner. The examples and samples certainly ignite my mind and motivate focused work
In the same vein. I throughly read the Zen Garden a year of so ago. From that reading, i sensed "standards," "templates," and now, "Frameworks" collect the macros of XML land?
Thanks for any and all thoughts.

So, what do you think?

This article lists some things to take into consideration when designing a site. It could be especially helpful for beginners. There are also some other articles at the site that could be of some value.
Are there other tips you would add? What do you think are some of the most important items to "Do" or "Don't"?

Kompozer: Free HTML Editor
Everyone has their preferences for writing HTML and/or creating web sites. Some prefer to do all the coding by hand. Others use HTML editors to help with some or most of the coding work.
Me? I need all the help I can get LOL. I generally use Kompozer - a free, WYSIWYG HTML editor. view link www.kompozer.net/ Kompozer has versions for Windows, Macs and Linux. It's fairly simple to learn to use and creates generally clean code.
You can use it like a word processor - choosing font, text color, style, size, etc. Then you can look at the source view and see all the wonderful HTML code.
Here are two help files with lots of screen shots that gives instructions on using Kompozer:
Introduction to Kompozer: view link ccs.110mb.com/eons/IntroductionToKomp. html
Kompozer part 2 - Adding an image: view link ccs.110mb.com/how/AddingImageWKompozer. html
If you don't already have a preference for an HTML editor, you might what to check it out. Feel free to ask any questions that you might have. We'd love to help if you decide to download it and learn to use it.
If you have a different editor that you use, we'd love to hear about it.

Important Thread in CT&I Group
In case you've missed it, there's a discussion going on in the CT&I group about attacks being made via Flash videos, etc. view link www.eons.com/groups/topic/1915016-New- Flash-Attack-has-no-Fix-Everyone- Vulnerable
"The attack can occur on Websites that accept user-generated content -- anything from Webmail to social networking sites." There is no quick fix.
OldGuy46 and tallbob have suggested some things that you can do to try to protect yourself. Others may make suggestions in the thread, so it might be a good idea to read the info and then subscribe to the message.

Creating a Website with a Template
One method (there are many) of creating a web site is by using a template and an HTML editor.
I use a free css template from view link www.freecsstemplates.org/ and a free HTML editor, Kompozer, view link www.kompozer.net/ The template site has a great number of templates released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license (requires link back) and which are w3C standards compliant and are valid (XHTML Strict). The templates even come with the images that are used with them. Of course, you could use the templates with a different editor or you could hand code the HTML.
This file, Using the "connections" Template, view link ccs.110mb.com/eons/usingcontemp.html gives a brief overview of how to download one of the templates. The file also contains some links to "jing" movies that show how to make two changes in the css file and how to use the editor to create links, move the content blocks and a few other things.
This is just one example of how you can create a web site. Feel free to give feedback and/or make suggestions. If you have any questions about any of the steps or would like more information, just ask! If you'd like to share some information about how you get started and what you use, you're welcome to post here or start a new thread, if you want.
Have Fun!

Using a Hosting Site's Built-in Editor
Many hosting sites also provide a choice to use the site's built-in editor, templates and images or that might be their only choice. This can be a quick, easy way to create a website. Generally, you don't need to know any coding and some sites provide help files or tutorials on using their editors.
So, what are the drawbacks?
1.) The templates and images that are provided by the hosting company are under copyright. If the site shuts down, or you chose to leave, you don't have the right to simply upload their template and images to a new site.
2.) Some offer a "free domain" with their service. However, some also register that domain under their name, so if you chose to leave or they shut down, you might have trouble getting control of the domain name. You might not be able to get it at all.
Whether or not you would choose to use a web hosting site's free editor would depend a great deal on the type of site you are building. It could be a great way to quickly create a temporary site (ball team, reunion, etc). It could even be a way to quickly have a site while you learn how to create your own HTML files and styles.
However, if you are creating a business site or a large site aimed at a wide audience, you might want to consider creating your own HTML files, registering your own domain name, and choosing a site that does not place ads on your pages - maybe even choosing a paid hosting site, LOL.

Web Hosting Site - Weebly
One member asked about Weebly in another post. That's fine. No problem - except sometimes information posted in a reply can get overlooked. Therefore this thread has been started to discuss the web hosting site - weebly.com There is also a thread discussing the pros and cons of using a Web Hosting Site's Built-in Editor: view link www.eons.com/groups/topic/1918015-Using- a-Hosting-Site-s-Built-in-Editor that might be of interest.
If you use or have used weebly.com, we'd love for you to share your opinions. If you run across an article on the net about it, we'd love you to share.

creating a URL
hello people
I am a relative neophyte at this game and am asking for some help from you brainiacs.
I have prepared an article titled "what is a veteran", that I would like to distribute on nov 10th to my friends inside and out of eons. it contains several illustrations which will not be a problem for e-mail but eons distribution is an entirely different animal. I could upload all the pic from photobucket but that is a wearisome chore. what I need to know is can I give this article a "URL" to simplify the task and how do I do that?
thank you all ------------ sirbill
