How to build a website.
« on: September 18, 2008, 04:09:48 PM »
What's up everyone?! I'm wondering how I can make a website? Not like a myspace but an actual website like Backstreet Paradise?

There are lots of tutorials online to help you with this.  It's not really something you can learn in a day - I'm in a two year college program learning Web Development ;) so that's how much there is to learn.  You probably want to start out learning the basics though, like HTML tags and that kind of thing.

This is a good website with quite a bit of information.  You'll also need to sign up for some kind of web hosting, and this can cost money depending on what your needs are.  There are websites like Angelfire and Geocities to offer you hosting for free.

I'm glad people are helping and I'm not going to close this thread but the FAQ is really for info re: our site. We don't really encourage people to make their own... since... ya know... we kinda want you on ours. :)

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? ... I don't know, and I don't care.
