um well... Tripod's ok if you use their site builder feature (no pop-ups)
geocities... though they ARE reliable, one would suffer from pop-ups

Try Topcities.com:

http://www.topcities.com

you can get 150 megs of web space, and a personalized name for your URL as well. That's where I have my Internet students create their pages.

Cheers,

just out of interest Saz, do Topcities put banner ads or pop-ups on your site?

Ever Tried Homestead?? I hear they're good

Ares · 01-19-2002, 12:27 AM

About webpages, I'm currently trying to find the time to learn HTML4. But isnt there some program that translates text to HTML? That would be so much easier.

Ares · 01-19-2002, 12:21 PM

Learning HTML4 isnt that hard...Just look for some sites that give you the basic tags along with some examples [img]smile.gif[/img] . I wanna learn Flash, but i just dont have the time

There might be a program out there, but i dunno what it's called..Saz might know

Well, as long as you know HTML 3.2 then HTML 4 will be a breeze.
I found out the changes, and apart from a few new commands and changed ones etc. it's relatively the same to the type I learned.
Phew!
Oh yeah, that's another thing I hate about some site providers, including homestead, they have a site creator, which I find really restrictive, if I was ever gonna make a website, I'd do it with my own knowledge of HTML and (a bit of) JavaScript.
I really find some of the things you can do very restrictive, if only their was a site that let you use all yo're own HTML.
