Just wish to introduce myself to the group.
I have been attempting to learn very basic HTML on my own and I feel I
have progressed rather well. Theres obviously loads more I have to
learn hense the reason for joining this group.

I am currently studying online to get the qualification

NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Telematics, purely for my own benefit than
for anything else.

here is the site that ive just recently finished.
Most of you will think it is prettybasic but I myself am rather proud
of it.

You may all no doubt take a sneaky peak at the coding of it and I
actually have no idea what it now means because somewhere along the
line of having a few friends check on what I had created it now appears
that the coding is entirely different than my HTML I orginally wrote
for it

Please if any of you know how this could have happened please share
this with me??

Thanks in advance natasha

...but your code looks like it is straight out of 1995.
Doesn't use CSS for presentation.

How it is different? Please describe with some details.
There is no way that a friend could change your code by visiting the
page.

"Your" code is different because the site is being redirected via a frames
page to an address different from the original. If you can use a redirect
_without_ changing the url in the address bar, you can avoid the frame.

I think that's probably right, since it's from a free host; framing is
very common with those. If the op can afford $10-15 a month, s/he
would be much better off than using a free host.

There are plenty of hosting services out there for much less than that,
many from $25 a year and up. This isn't an e-commerce site, so the
extras you'd get with more expensive hosting would be a waste of money.

I think she can do this for less than $4 a month... I have one
account for $3.97 Australian per month. Unix, even php gets
thrown in. I expect now ng readers will auction this down!

Hi dorayme,

Note the lower case :) Where is your $3.97 host?

Andrew

I reminded them I have given them clients and how about they send
me a case of Bourbon for Xmas... They say, sure, but my ng
postings are undoing the good work with all the rubbish I write
and if I stop for gods sake for at least one year, maybe a case
for next Xmas!

dorayme,

I'm wondering what uh, folks like to drink where you're from:

Martian Comfort?
Jim MoonBeam?
Old Phobos?
Johnny Walker Red Planet?
Early Deimos?

Jim MoonBeam hits the spot for me.

When I landed in NSW, I learnt how to make beer from the grain.
You are good with names, perhaps, after all these years, I should
have a name for my output?

_Janis_ liked Southern Comfort. How's your voice?

Given your handle, how about Scale Ale.

I dunno Ed...? I am waiting for John Hosking who has talent in
this direction, a sharp eye for drink names for outer
spacers...before I go into label print production.

The person I am always calling when I need help from my host, starts
always laugh when I call him. I wouldn't even think I could ask him a
bottle for christmas. And I have also brought new customers in to this
company which is MUCH more expensive than those prices that been
mentioned in this thread.

If I wanted to find host for that price in Finland, I should be prepared
to unclassified level of service. I have also found widely trusted
(locally) company who ask me 150 eur/year for a platform with php but no
database, who refuse to give out access to shell in any price, who
prefer customers use meta referesh for redirecting instead of making
htaccess redirect, and who yell me in the telephone saying that they are
not very keen to have effort for a small customer like me. But I guess
companies like this can be found also from other side of the globe.

Anyway, I guess there will be no bottle of red wine this year.

Sorry for the delay. I had to do actual work, and sleep, and stuff.

Actually I like "Scale Ale" from mbstevens, but perhaps you want a
variety of names to choose from.

How about Red Planet Ale?
Or Terrabroo (guess what animal mascot I recommend)?
Or DoRayMe Pale Ale, "a drop of golden fun"?

Sorry, too much pressure. And I don't know exactly what you're brooing,
I mean, brewing; is it a lager? a pilsner? light? dark? heavy motor oil?

Oh, you know, a treble clef and some parallel lines on the label

NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Telematics,

My heart always sinks when I see a neologism like "Telematics" or a
fabricated acronym like "ICT". No-one competent in these fields calls
them that, the only people who do use these terms are ignorant
academics. In particular, the sort of ignorant academic who is
cheerfully teaching appalling technical standards in the subject. 8-(

The HTML on the page is horrible. Not your fault, let me hasten to add,
it's a combination of what you were taught and what the broken tools
produce. It could be worse - you might have signed up for the Open
University's web-design course, possibly the worst and most thoroughly
obsolete course available on the topic.

Many people around here in this newsgroup write better code than this.
Interestingly, "better" means both "technically superior" yet also "far
less work to produce". Now there's an outcome you don't get every day.

I'd suggest reading a copy of "Head First HTML & CSS". Learn how to
use some CSS, on top of some appropriate HTML, and you'll get better
results with less effort. You'll also realise just how simpel web
design can be, and why you don't need expensive rubbish tools like
Frontplague or Dreamweevil.

it now appears
that the coding is entirely different than my HTML I orginally wrote
for it

You're using cheap framed hosting. If you view the _frame's_ source,
then you'll see the real page.

You should stop hosting with this sort of cheapskate operation - it's a
bad idea for many reasons.

Yes, that would be nice...

I don't know if it just me, but I have always found the look of
sheet music attractive...
