O.P. Huh?  HTML/FTP/PHP
OK guys and gals, i was scoping through the 14ish pages about the free web hosters, and thought; well, with all these free hosts about why dont i create a website? So, scoping through i find a few good websites and check them out. I soon become confuzzled (or confused for the more serious dudes) when a website starts to talk about loading your website, and mentioning something about FTP and PHP. Sot knowing what either one of them does, i backed away slowly and exited the website. So far ive managed to make a website only using the templates that freewebs.com (something like that anyway) offers, but that also mentions HTML, anyone got any ideas about helpjg me build my website/got any links to something like HTML for dummies?? please help guys an gals, thnx, Methos :S

RE: HTML/FTP/PHP
Google "learn html"...

The net is infested with tutorials like that ;)

PHP is a prgramming language which you can use to actual program a webpage. This is more advanced than HTML, but the result is the same (if you disregard the advanced stuff you can do with it of course).

FTP means File Transfer Protocol. This is the protocol used to transfer files from server to server or server to client. It has got nothing to do with HTML. Not something you should worry about atm...

PHP is another language and FTP is a way to upload your files to a webspace so they are viewable :)

You can't insert .exe videos into a website, because of potential risks such as virus'.

The hosting is free and quite good, email me or add me to msn...

'twas two questions. How to insert exes and how to insert wmvs.

For the exe question, you can't "insert" it into a page. An exe can't automatically be executed because that'd be a security risk. The only way is downloading it manually.

For the videos, it's something with <embed>, I'm not sure. Google it or find a site with an embedded video.

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
