Coding my own website?

[rowlfe]

You can get a free domain name at http://www.webs.com (or you could use the free host recommended at the cu.cc site). The webs site requires that you use a button on each page that directs people to webs to get a free page, with no other advertising. You have to use their file uploader and there is no FTP without upgrading to a premium account.

Here is a link to what I did in a matter of minutes.

Domain: "1147m.cu.cc"

http://1147m.cu.cc

Which redirects to a sub-domain of webs.com at:

http://ngc1147m.webs.com

Using either link should take you to the same place, an example of a web page that I built when I was teaching HTML to a small group of people to show them how to do just what you are asking.

Edit: Yes, I know, the page has a layout error. The calendar in the upper left corner pushes the page title to the right. It should be centered. This is an intentional error used in the class I used to teach as an illustration and a problem for the people in the class to solve. If you right click on the page, you should have an option somewhere in your browser to "view page code" where you can save the page to your hard disk. Then you can look over the page HTML to see how the page is constructed. All of the widgets I used are free that I gathered here and there such as the IP information below the sun clock map. Another thought occurred to me, go to http://www.about.com and type "HTML tutorial" into the search box. You will find a wealth of tools to help you.
