It's purely a personal site with stuff on that I like. What I would like from you people is simply some suggestions about the layout, e.g. where to put the title or section links etc. I am completely devoid of any talent when it comes to design ...

The initial index, the Calvin & Hobbes page and the Computers/Wallpapers pages are the design I'm currently going with - is this any good or can you suggest improvements? Nothing fancy, i.e. no Javascript menus or rollovers, just simply HTML and/or CSS.

ANY suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Seriously, the amount of crap generated with FP is unbelievable... get DW if you can (legally), or just hand code the blighter yourself.

You could do it from internet explorer can't you? Using Internet/Windows Explorer, type in the FTP URL of your address and just drag and drop.

If I remember rightly you select 'Publish' from the 'File' menu. It'll ask you to enter details about the server your uploading to and then it does the rest.

I used to find it quite useful as you could set it to only upload changed files and to remove files that didn't match your local version of the site, e.g. files you've renamed.

Purists will no doubt tell you not to use it ... :-D

No adverts, but they ask you to put a link on your main page, like at the bottom of mine ("Sponsor: ...").

You need to use FTP to upload - either an FTP client or something like FrontPage or Dreamweaver will be able to do it also.

I'm assuming you get no adverts with staghost? And how do you upload you files? Thansk
