[QUOTE="xstep, post: 877426, member: 11647"] You don't use Office products to produce HTML code. Very ugly and unnecessary. TextEdit which comes with your Mac will allow you to edit HTML pages. Set the preference for Plain Text and turn off 'Add ".txt" extension to plain files'. I also think you should set the 'Document type' to 'HTML 4.01 Transitional' and set the check mark on for 'Preserve white space'. There are some other editors out there that do syntax highlighting. You use FTP (or SFTP) to upload your finished web pages to a server. Once uploaded, and the read rights are correct (they usually are), the public will be able to see the pages instantly. Your web provided is simply providing the space and points your web domain to the right location on their drives. They will have some information to let you know where the root folder is for both your web pages and scripts. As for forum software, many providers have install scripts for common packages such as forums software. As mentioned, PHPBB is a common one. Seriously, if you are as new to this as you say and indicate, buy a bloody book, or check a couple out from your local library. Another option is web tutorials which you can give you a quick introduction to the entire cycle. Type the following words into Google for instance; [/QUOTE]
