I have a site, and it's main page is just blue links on white background, and I cans seem to only edit where the links are, how do I edit the home page?

You need to start by making your own file on your computer, then using a FTP program (like filezilla) through the FTP info the site gave ya, upload the file. home pages are usually index.html (or whatever extensio ya use, like .php)

Yeah, I'm learning HTML.
Thanks.
It's a PHP enabled host, so I can fiddle around a lot more to :P


EDIT: do I need the client, or server for filezilla?

From what I know about building a website you don't need a server while making it.

Btw use microsoft frontpage, that was easiest for me.

And if your using html you can build your entire website in notepad++ and save it as some document (Forgot What) and you can prewview your page from there.

yeah just save it as a .html file and it would open in your explorer and show what it looks like
