How do I create a website for my photos?
Discussion
I've never played with HTML stuff before.
I have ??GB of webspace through V21 that i dont use and ??GB with others.
1. How can I use this webspace to create a site to share my pics with others?
2. Is there a free platform/protocol/tool which I can download and use for the site to make it easy? Where is it?!
Thanks.

All you need to create a simple web page is notepad.
Put the following text in:
<HTML>
<TITLE>My Test Page</TITLE>
<BODY>
<H1>Heading</H1>
This is my test text.
<P>
Here's some more.
</BODY>
</HTML>
And save it as .html
To put a pic up on the page add:
<IMG SRC="graphics/image.jpg">
Where currently has: Here's some more.
That extra line would put an image called image.jpg on the page. That image was stored in a directory called graphics, which was in the same directory as the .html page.
That might be a bit confusing, but look up simple HTML on the web and you'll start to get it.

Have a look at Web Album Generator, it's free.

Everyone will have their own answer to this. Personally I'd avoid html like the plague. It's easy for people who can 'read' it (this is the Computing forum after all!); otherwise it might as well be Chinese IMHO.
My way: Get some proper webspace. I use 123; it works for me; others will have their own favourites. If you can use MS Word, try fiddling about with FrontPage. Hardened html-ites will snigger but it did a good job for a rookie like me. I've made several sites now, some for money
Oh yes, and the missing link is FTP software to upload it from your PC to the space. I use CuteFTP but there are many others.

CuteFTP is very good. But also try a little free/shareware program called FTPExplorer (www.ftpx.com/) it's a dead simple little program.
