Website Development
My computer class wants to design their own website for all of the lower and middle school to use. Since it was origionally my idea I have the responsibility to find out how. We'll have about 6 weeks to do the project. My question to you is...
HOW DO YOU MAKE ONE?
I can get us an address and the school has their own server so it shouldn't b ethat expensive. If I can find out how my computer teacher and I will present it to the headmaster and if he approves my class will be allowed to design the site and I, along with my teacher, will create it. So what kind of software would I need and what programing/coding would I need to know.
Thx!

Beleive it or not, but Frontpage is a pretty decent html editor. The reason why the result may look cheap and unprofessionaly is solely in the web designer.
My suggestion would be that you make the template for the site in a graphical editor like Photoshop. Add text and everything else there. If you like it, then simply cut parts of the design and put it into html.
And if you ask me which editor is the best html editor. It would be either UltraEdit or PSPad.

Speaking of AuroraCMS. The thing NFSUnlimited.net uses is not the same thing as you'll find if you google for auroracms. Need I mention that at the time my cms started using the name 'AuroraCMS', that aussie site didn't exist
That's why nowadays squirrels help make NFSUnlimited.net. They have nuts of course because nutless squirrels aren't worth half a penny.

Hosting your website on your own computer is pretty easy, but you will need some skills and some time to set it up. For a small website with little of visitors, windows xp with apache server is enough. Just keep in mind that you'll have to run the maching 24/7. Professional hosting is a way to go as well, you can get some pretty cheap plans for a few $ per month (check godaddy.com).
Apache webserver installation takes 15MB...
Anoter interesting solution would also be to install some lightweight no gui linux under windows xp (http://www.vmware.com offers free virtualization - vmware server) and put the webserver there. It would be completely secure Depends on how much time you're willing to invest.

Carcrazy, you could try this free hosting service:
http://myhostisfree.com/
Judging by what you are saying you need the site for, it has plenty of storage and features for you. But you do need to have a good knowledge of HTML editing and know how to upload files to an ftp server so they work on your website.

OFFTOPIC: Yeah, that's what thermal tape generally does.Carcrazy wrote:OMFG! I was changing my MoBo so I could fix the computer I'm running this on, and when I went to pull the cpu out of the old one, it had gotten so hot the thermal tape freaking melted!!! I had to pry it off gently with a flat head screwdriver!
