Alright I've recently decided to make a website, but I don't know squat about building one. I have no experience in HTML, no experience in graphic design and I'm really not sure where to even begin. I also don't have the money to hire someone else to do it for me. So my question is, what are the best programs for beginning web designers?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Building a website.
- Thread starter Idkmyname
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
You can use Microsoft Front page. It is an editor where you can use a combination of static design and html. For instance when you make a bar with text you can see the html wich that produces. On the net is alot of information and standard html code to work with, you just have to practice alot. Just build a few websites to see what you can do with html or other code (php for instance - more advanced).
http://www.w3schools.com/ has alot of free website building tutorials.
With Dreamweaver you can build a website that is non static, so with flash for instance.
Also there are free hosting websites where you can build a website from a template. It isnt the most beautifull website you are making but it is something.
Just depends on how far you want to take this. Learning Java can get you pretty far too!

I started designing websites about 11-12 years ago when I was about 16 or 17, and I was self-taught.
Rather than read tutorials or rely upon HTML generators, I looked at the source code of web pages and figured out what different codes meant, by comparing the code with the rendered version. HTML, even complexly coded HTML, is usually pretty easy to figure out. It's when you get into cascading stylesheets or scripting that referring to tutorials becomes necessary. If you can learn HTML, it's easier and faster to pump out code than by using HTML generators, not to mention your code will be smaller and more efficient than any generated HTML (which is notoriously crappy -- even 11-12 years later). Writing HTML is a skill which once acquired never goes away, but the "skills" of using any HTML generator changes with every version.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Are you familiar with the term "warez"? Why pay for it when you can get it illegally? I'll find you almost any paid template for free.Idkmyname said:I was thinking about buying a professionally made template.
I also recommend Adobe Dreamweaver CS3. Microsoft Frontpage is horrible!
That's mostly the way I learned... and editing vBulletin templates too.Deep Dish said:I started designing websites about 11-12 years ago when I was about 16 or 17, and I was self-taught.

Have you heard of the term "copyright infringement"?It's-Me said:Are you familiar with the term "warez"? Why pay for it when you can get it illegally? I'll find you almost any paid template for free.

It's one thing to download a song and play it for personal use on your iPod, it's another thing to steal a template and post it on the internet for everyone to see.
Those laws don't apply in every country, that's why there's warez sites.STR8UP said:Have you heard of the term "copyright infringement"?

That's a good idea. I'm mainly concerned with the graphics of it all. I found a template I like on templatemonster.com for $62 I think I'm just going to buy it.Deep Dish said:I started designing websites about 11-12 years ago when I was about 16 or 17, and I was self-taught.

Buying a template isn't going to help you understanding how to build a website.. Start by creating a simple site using source code for other sites and tweak that in a notepad, save it as an .html file and see what is does! There are many ways that leads to Rome..
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
