Someone reminded me today of http://www.oswd.org/ - in fact a very handy place if you are out of ideas for a web page template.

That said you'll need some knowledge of html and css to be able to adapt something you like to your vision and needs.

I forget the exact link but w3_schools (try a Google) will be a great place to learn some stuff.

Also - go Google various stuff like "how to make a web page" - that sorta thing.  There is a heap of stuff out there and you may well find something that helps.  Some free host places also offer a simple on line way to create a page.

Could well be too - once you get a handle on basic html you'll find it ain't so hard as you might think.

Harry - we are same age - don't worry.

I have been ''in the game'' for many years but sometimes wonder if I have learned anything!  Never too late to start tho - just takes longer!

went to goggle and searched " how to make a web page " open no 1 page and got lost on the first ten lines seems hard to me

i love to go in deep to the pc and mess around with it ( did harm a few times ) but fixed it

but making a page seems to much for me

Probably seems hard at first glance but actually just a case of persevering a bit.

For relatively basic stuff you probably only need to know just a few basic tags such as <table> <p> <font>
 - if you managed even those you might soon find you can assemble a very basic page which you can save as .html and then view in your browser.

Another quite useful excercise is to find a relatively simple page on the web and if on a PC - right click and ''view source'' ..... could be that would help you see what does what a bit.

hi ivy , me again , i downloaded you web help page to a folder and tried to print it of twice but it would not print it right it missed pages out and a few other bits ( my printer is fine ) and it runs into 15 pages and it prints everything on the screen

is there any way to make it smaller or cut down on size or can i download it in any other way

harry

[Ivy]

Harry if you click on the button on top of the page called 'print this page' then you will be able to print the pages but without the images I guess.

Maybe you should make a post about this in Hardware section and you'll be able to know how to print those pages in the best way possible.

Best of luck Harry!
