Hi all,
Yes, Jackie, I thought he was supposed to be doing it too, but I've
sent him stuff for the Mystery Book Club and it never got posted. So I dunnow.
To answer G. Cindy's question, (think we'll have to go back to G. Cindy
because we have more Cindy's now,) HTML is not hard to learn, at least
the basics aren't. The basic bottom line is that HTML is a way of
writing text which has "tags" added to it in order to tell the web
browser how to present the text on the screen. I won't tie up the list
with specifics.
As for FTP, yes it stands for File Transfer Protocol, and is one of the
parts of the Internet, though most folks think that the Internet
consists of just the web. It doesn't There's FTP and related things,
Telnet and related things, The Web, and now there's VOIP. It ain't
simple. Suffice it to say that when you create a web page you have to
transfer that page from your computer to a folder/directory on another
computer which has a web server. That server takes your "marked up"
text and displays it on the net. So in order to post info on the
Friends Of Bookshare site, you would need to both write the HTML and
have a username and password to upload the finished pages to the
server. Hope this explains. Oh, how do you FTP? You do it by using
an FTP client. There are lots of them, but the best one for Windows is
Filezilla in my opinion, it's easy to work and it's accessible.
I've probably given more info than needed, sorry.
Ann P.
