Want to make a website...what programs should I use?
I want to build a couple of websites, but I'm not sure which programs I should use on Linux. Any help would be apprieciated.

You mean an editor for HTML/scripting, or a server program like Apache for running a site on a machine?
|
To write a simple website easily, http://ww.nvu.com is a good enough program.

I'd say that it isn't the distro that matters the most, but your understanding of keeping it secure and up to date, expecially if you'll be providing a permanent site for a business, etc. Having said that, some are more suited to server/security-critical uses, instead of newbie-friendlyness. But all major distros should come with a properly configured apache package for you to test and learn with.

ok thanks.
|
so if I write the website in HTML on openoffice....whats my next step?
(I'm a newb with the whole website thing ;) ) |
save it as a .html file, as regular text
btw, you might want to use a text editor, not a office suit thats made for office (fancy) document writing |
i have it saved as HTML...but now how do I get in on the web?
|
mjl_2007 i suggest quanta for writing html.
For uploading the pages you have to have server account, do you have one? If not, i think geocities and yahoo are offering free server accounts for web page publishing. Maybe you could throw an eye on them. |
can't I run it off my own computer? What makes qunata better (just want to know comparisons).

Edit: Oh, and a large number of ISPs forbid running servers on your machines, eg web servers like Apache, and also your connection may not be suited to a site of any amount of traffic (upload bandwidth and latency etc). |
What makes quanta better?
You said you're writing your HTML in OpenOffice.org. Just try quanta and you'll see what's better (tag completition, auto tag closing, colors and much more). |
Ok. Does anybody know of a good place to host my site besides Yahoo?? Anybody know about 1and1.com and how they are?
