Web DevelopmentPosted by Rich
im not sure what youre asking in "...seems that SBC has no
web development for the Mac." by SBC do you mean southwestern bell corporation? im guessing SBC is your web host? do you actually have a hosting/domain package? or do they just give their users web space for personal sites? all sbc needs to give you is the ftp address for your folder. then youll need ftp software to upload it (if youre on a mac). but to my knowledge most web design software packages have built in ftp capabilities... can you clarify what problems youre having?
If I had to guess at this, the company provides web space and simple web developement tools for the PC. If you don't want to code your pages by hand, you can find Mac based tools available (see above). If you want simple pages announcing a club meeting, you can do them by hand. It's not that hard. HTLM files are straight text files and can be written in TextEdit with the Plaint Text option selected. Most other packages like Microsoft Word have HTML Export options available. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can be done by hand from any Terminal window, but most people use Fetch to push files around the internet. Koz
Rich,
If you're not a HTML coder, or don't want to be. You might check out a few things. FreeWay Pro - from [www.softpress.com] incredibly simple to build full blown web sites. We use it not just for web development but for posting videos in process. Just encode your video, drop it on a page, and boom your done. It is painfully simple but very powerfull and writes compliant HTML code. RapidWeaver - This lets you make a site in a few minutes based on one of their templates. Hanles QT ,photos, text, etc. Again super simple. [www.realmacsoftware.com] .Mac from Apple - get a .mac account and you get to make your own site based on a template. Many web features included photo album sites, QT movies, etc. [www.blogger.com] here you can get a web site launched for free in just a few minutes. You can add photos, log entries (can't do QT). I hope this helps. - T. Payton
<<<If I have any other questions I will email individuals as to the questions.>>> This one's hard. Normally I would jump up and down and tell you to bring the questions back here to everyone can benefit from the discussion, however, this is a little off topic for the board, so I'm going to step back and let one of the board officials rule.
