Need Help?

Hey again :). I received a couple of questions on Facebook about how to upload HTML to a server, so I'm just posting this blog to help everyone who may be having trouble. I'm generally not a good teacher, but I tried to write the steps in an easy-to-understand way. These steps are for a Tripod account, but I'm willing to bet that other services work very similar. Take a look, and if you still need help, feel free to contact me on here or Facebook. (By the way, I will be the first to admit that I'm definitely no expert ... I only know the basics, but I just wanted to offer my service.)


I got my site at Tripod because it's free. Once there, create a domain name ... Pretty simple so far. Next you need to download Filezilla, which is also free. Once you have that, type your HTML into a text document (use Notepad) and save it ... I usually call my first page index.html. When you have that saved, pull up Filezilla on your computer. At the top, you will need to type the host (ftp.tripod.com), your username and your password. Click on "quick connect."

At that point, you should find the file index.html under your local site. (The box on the left.) Drag it to the box on the right (the remote site), and it should transfer automatically. Type in the URL to your site on your Web browser, and you should see your page. I hope that helps :).
