Awardespace

Anybody uses this host?

I opened a free account but I don't know how to connect to the FTP menager. I tried [myusername].awardespace.com and awardespace/[myusername] but it doesn't work.

What program are you using?

If your using Dreamweaver (Just guessing cos I seen you talk about it before).

FTP host: [domain name for your site]

Host directory: /public_html/
(This does vary with diffrent server setups but this is the norm)

Login: [your username for your hosing account]

Password: [Your password for your hosting account]

never mind - I found solution.

thanks anyway

Ah right good good, thats the main thing.

Uploaded succesfully, took me 10 minutes, damn dial-up.

One correction: Awardspace not awardespace

[johneva]

Yeah your gonna have some funn making websites when you only have a dial-up connection.

Though at least you will have to design your site to be dail-up user freindly, which is something a lot of website designers miss or dont seem to care about.

I have some problems with this host. I uploaded index.html page and one .jpg file (they are in the same dir.) but i can't see that image on my site. Everything worked just fine on my PC. Could you look at the my site and tell me what's wrong.

PS don't laugh, i made this site only for testing

I dont know whats going on matey when you enter the URL for the image it is redirected to some other page, when you goto the address it should just show the image.

I would have a word with your host to find out whats going on.

i just tries to validate my page at w3.org ant it say that alt atribute is missing . I have alt atribute in file on my PC but when i upload it alt dissapears.

[johneva]

That wont cause the problem you have anyways but that is very strange too, what are you using to upload?

You wont pass a strick validation anyways there are quite a few errors in your coding to pass a strit validation. The font tag has been depriciated and also all your styles will have to be in CSS to pass strict validation, you are also only using half of the doctype. Oh and you have two keyword meta tags.

This site has a list of full doctypes.

New sites should be using the strick doctype transitional is for old sites that have not been redesigned for the new rules set to pass a strict doctype.
