Holding Page

[evo801]

Hi All,

I have brought a domain with hosting.

I would like to add a jpeg holding page whilst the main site is being developed.

Please may someone advise me on how to upload it.

Many thanks,
Best Regards

Hi. I did this a few weeks ago... the method seems to vary according to who you are with but I found Filezilla Client a good FTP tool http://filezilla-project.org/

Many Thanks, apologies for sounding stupid but how does this work?

Do I upload the jpeg screen shot to this site and upload it onto the host.

Thank you

Paste this into notepad, make the changes required (site title, and the picture you wish to use and save as index.html. Then upload this and your picture file to the index directory of your site:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Site Title</title>
</head>

<body>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.yoursite/yourpicture.jpg" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
