I am trying to create a website but only have Microsoft Front Page. I used Dream Weaver a while back and recently decided to try on my home computer. BIG MISTAKE, it isn't half as good and I am having a few problems. The first is the line spacing. There is a huge gap between lines everytime I press "Enter". The second problem is with letting music play in the back ground. I have downloaded an MP3 I want to play in the back ground but because it is an MP3 file I can't play it. Does anyone know how I can convert it into another kind of file so I can play it?

My way of making things simple just confuses me!
You images are in subdirectory (graphics) directory.
Your index page is in the main directory.
Click on an image in the frontpage view and it will come up with an image properties box. Where it has the nae of the image, add graphics/ before it (or whatever the folder they are in is called.)
They won't show up on your PC anymore so I suggest you do like what you did online and create a graphics directory in the same folder as the index page and put your piccies in there.
You're then telling the browser to open the graphics folder and get the picture from within there, and not telling it to get a picture from within the folder you are currently in.

Link the two directories together? How?

Help! Can you dumb it down a shade?

Put all the images into the directory.
Now whenever you want to bring them up, you've got to link to the graphics folder and then the file.
Image the layout like your PC with loads of folders.
If you goto C:/ then my documents then my pictures is will show.
c:/mydocuments/mypictures/
So when you want to bring up a picture, link from the top of the site into the graphics folder (/graphics).
In front of your image links write /graphics/???.jpg.
Then it will find them and display them.

Emmm yeah that's all great but can someone PLEASE tell me how to get pictures on my site? I had them on the pages of my front page web and have uploaded my web onto tripod but the pictures aren't showing. I created a new directory called "Graphics" and uploaded all the pictures onto there but with no effect. Any help?

Hi,
If you could stream it out you wouldnt need to worry about bandwidth so much, but you would have to contend with some users losing the stream. You need to ask your self, is it vital to my sites design to play this media?

At least 6 minutes at 4K/s, which not many 56k'ers can maintain really, especially on compressed data.
Don't use lycos with the annoying ads.
If you know how to FTP your files to your webhost, use www.staghosting.com instead, or that portland host - whatever the address is for them.
By the way, having a file 1.5mb would seriously dig into your bandwidth. I know staghosting gives you 1000mb bandwidth a month, so with that file being downloaded, you could only have about 600 visitors per month and that's NOT including the actual content of your website. You'd be pushing it, and that's on one of the best free hosts.

Far too much.
That will take a few minutes for it to load properly on a 56k, meaning they would have to be looking at the same page for minutes for it to finish loading and start playing.
Don't bother.

Are you sure none of you can
> tell me how to get my song to work? It'd be great I promise :D
Do you have Flash or Director? it would be pretty simple to make a shockwave movie that just had your song in it. This way the siz could be kept down, and users can just click a link to end it.
