I can't help you directly but I can give some pointers. But first is your site html, xml, does it have php/asp in it?
If it is just straight html my suggestion is to look up some beginner tutorials. Seriously, most people learn by doing it right? Follow a tutorial, don't just copy and paste the code they give you either type it out so you get used to doing it. For example the first lesson you will learn is a basic proper html setup which looks a lot like this:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>This goes in the titlebar</title>
<!----- Various scripts and links to scripts and style sheeting go here ---->
</head>
<body>
<!----- This is where the text on the screen will show up! ------>
<h1>MY First Webpage</h1><br><br>
This is my first webpage!
</body>
</html>
Ok lets examine this code a bit. The first line you won't need to worry about until later. Basically this tells your browser what formatting you are using (which markup version, etc. There is a site called:
www.w3.org (also
www.w3c.org ) or the world wide web consortium. Basically it has the standard syntax for any html tag you use as well as other languages and coding types such ans stylesheeting and XML. But like I said, ignore this for now... I use strict type html 4.01 on all my sites and it is a pain int eh *** sometimes which you will come to find out if you do want to learn more advanced things later.
But for now:
Every html page starts with a <html> tag.
This basically yells to the browser My webpage Starts here!!!! A few things happen that are a bit advanced when the browser reads this in. First of all a connection is established between the server and the browser (not a continuous one) Where information that are called headers are passed fromt he browser tot eh server....but I won't go into detail about that because it is quite advanced for someone like you (maybe, I dont want to assume).
Next comes <head> . Basically this is the top of your webpage where you can link outside files such as stylesheets and javascript scripts, etc. It is proper to place those within the <head></head> tag.
You can also place meta-tags inside the head which is proper as well. But you will learn more about those in other tutorials.
Also a very important thing that the <head> tags include in between them is the <title> tags. If you look at the top of your browser now it says: Beginner Needs help getting started.
Well they did:
<title>Beginner needs help getting started</title>
Now they dont make every page by hand that is controlled through other forms of coding which you should ignore for right now. let's just stick to the basics.
Ok also you if you noticed almost all my tags are closed. by closed I mean every tag: <head> has a closing tag: </head> .
There are some tags that do not require and end tag such as <br> but in proper html and also in XML languages to close the <br> tag you would do: <br /> Either way will work in your html file.
Ok the next most important part of a website is the <body>
This is where everythign goes that is displayed right here where you are reading! in your browser window!. Any text typed within there will display it on the screen. Try it out if you like! Open a text editing program like notepad or something and save a file to your desktop called: first.html or first.htm . You can then click on it and it should open up in your browser (if your computer is configured to) and you can view the test you typed in there.
The extra stuff I included within the body tag you will learn more about when doing more tutorials. this was to just get you started.
Also your <html> ending tag should always be the last thing on the bottom of the page...this basically tells your browser, I'm done! or end of file.
If you need more help, google: beginner html tutorials
It will bring up tons of sites you can look through so that you can learn the basics!
