Angelfire Page

Post by SS5_Majin_Bebi » Mon Jun 02, 2003 3:42 am

Yeh, I just signed up for a page at Angelfire, and I have no fucking idea how to create the page now I'm there. It recons its "quick and simple" but i reckon thats bullshit. I don't understand the interface and I cant find any helpful help!! Is there anyone here who'd be able to give me a few pointers, like people who also have angelfire pages or something? I'd really appreciate it.

Well, I have an angelfire page I use for some random crap, but I do the HTML by hand.

Quick lesson in HTML basics, which is the extent of my knowledge.

To make a page, you need a body and a head, seperated by angle brackets, like so.

<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>

Where the slash ends the tag.

In the head goes information such as a title (the text in the top bar of a web site), and any tags you use for search engines. You'll have to look up Meta Tags for that, because I dunno how they work, but title is easy as peach pie.

<head>
<title>HOLY FLERKING SCHNIT!!</title>
</head>

Then, in the body, you put the page's actual content. You can also customize by using formatting tags. Bgcolor will make a background color (use American english, not British english for HTMl), link is the color of a link, vlink is the color of a visited link, and alink is the color of a link if you click and hold on it. Use them as so.

<body bgcolor=gray link=violet alink=red vlink=fhrkda>

Note the for vlink I put six random letters. HTML uses hexadecimal to key colors to different character combinations. This means that you can type six random letters and numbers into color format tags, and experiment to see what comes up.

So, now, we have the following HTMl page script.

<head>
<title>HOLY FLERKING SCHNIT!!</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=gray link=violet alink=red vlink=fhrkda>

Here, we can now input text. However, to keep the text looking nioce and aligned, we can use tables. Tables are a way of organizing content on a web page. You start with a <table> tag, use <tr> to indicate rows, and <td> to set off cells in a table. For simple alignment, you don't need <tr> and <td>. You can just do this.

<table width=800>This is my web page, it is a very nice web page, you will bow to my web page and my l33t h@xxor coding skillz, what R U waiting 4, BOW BIZATCH B4 I REND YR HED FRUM YR FRAYL AND PATHETIK BODEE!!!ONE</table>

Width denotes how many pixels wide the table is.

To link to something, you would use <a href="complete URL">. Note that the URL is in quotes. This is mandatory. Then, you would place the text and use an ending tag, like so.

<a href="http://www.furnitureporn.com/">HOT CHAIR ON CHAIR ACTION, OOOH YEAH HOMEEZ!!</a href>

You can use rule lines to seperate different sections on one page.

<hr width=500 size=2>

HR is a horizontal rule, width is the width in pixels, and size the height.

We now have this.

<head>
<title>HOLY FLERKING SCHNIT!!</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=gray link=violet alink=red vlink=fhrkda>
</center>
<table width=800>This is my web page, it is a very nice web page, you will bow to my web page and my l33t h@xxor coding skillz, what R U waiting 4, BOW BIZATCH B4 I REND YR HED FRUM YR FRAYL AND PATHETIK BODEE!!!ONE</table>
<p>
<hr width=500 size=2>
<p>
<a href="http://www.furnitureporn.com/">HOT CHAIR ON CHAIR ACTION, OOOH YEAH HOMEEZ!!</a href>

You see the <p>? That is how you place space between paragraphs. You can't hit enter, you have to insert the paragraph break tag. You can hit enter all you want, it won't do a bloody damn thing. I've also added the center tag to align everything in the center of the web page.

Finally, in image link. Do so thusly.

<img src="http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/chaosangel/WTF.txt">

And afterwards, close out the body tag and you will have the following.

<head>
<title>HOLY FLERKING SCHNIT!!</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=gray link=violet alink=red vlink=fhrkda>
<center>
<table width=800>This is my web page, it is a very nice web page, you will bow to my web page and my l33t h@xxor coding skillz, what R U waiting 4, BOW BIZATCH B4 I REND YR HED FRUM YR FRAYL AND PATHETIK BODEE!!!ONE</table>
<p>
<hr width=500 size=2>
<p>
<a href="http://www.furnitureporn.com/">HOT CHAIR ON CHAIR ACTION, OOOH YEAH HOMEEZ!!</a href>
<p>
<img src="http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/chaosangel/WTF.txt">
</center>
</body>

Type all of this up in a text document (I use Notepad), then change the file extension to .html. Upload that to Angelfire and bickety bam, you're done.

Here is a link to see what this script produces.

And a linkmto an HTMl guide that can give you more nifty tricks.
