Basically in a nutshell can I link to my webspace, even though I haven't created a website as such??
Thanks if anyone can help me.  |
yes you can link to your webspace although it is not even created yet.
in whatever forum, just write your wed address down, it should turn to a link, and people can click on it, there will be nothing there like a
404 file not found page will be displayed, unless you add files to your webspace.
make up a file and send it to your webspace by using the above link form Richard M for filezilla, add your details like your username and password then connect to your site, there you can upload and download files to and from your site with Filezilla.
if you update your site, then everyone who ahs not been to your site will see the new pages, anyone that has, will need to refresh their browser, to force the page to show, or they will need to clear their cache/temp internet files.
if you are new to making up webpages, try and call your homepage or the first page you want displayed as
index.html a good way to learn html is to click
view > view source in your browser, and this shows you the code of the page.
if you need a hand just PM me.
