New & confused

Hi Brenda,

To edit your web pages you could use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor such as Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver (unfortunately, they come at a price...) or you could use Notepad or another text editor if you fancy delving straight into the HTML.

The HTML tag for a link would look like this:

Code:

<a href="http://www.domain.com" target="_blank">Click here!</a>

The href="x" part holds the URL that the hyperlink will redirect the user to if/when they click it, and the target="_blank" part makes the link open in a new window. You can also use target="_top" so the link takes over the whole browser window (useful for getting rid of frames), or if you do use frames on your website you can use target="_self" to make the link load in the frame that it displays in.

A chat room could be a little harder, I'd search around Google for a free chat room provider, perhaps a site like bravenet.com offers a free service.

Hope this helps,

conf.

 

this is just a thought, i dont know exactly what you are looking for, but if you go to this website www.raidersoft.com they have a pretty nice chat called sigma chat that you can get for free, you need to register, but it is very nice.

theres pjirc for a webchat applet which can connect to an irc server and join a chatroom, or for no html coding required cpanel has entropychat which you can use (provides the html code to put into a page).

Regards,
Brent
