 Hi,
 
 I am sorry this is not Ubuntu related but could any offer some help
 for a novice web site builder ?
 
 
 I have made a web site with a main page, gallery page and an image
 folder.
 
 When working in Notepad++ I have no problem opening the pages in a 
 browser but I am unsure of how to make sure they are all linked
 together and uploaded.
 
 When I have looked on local host sometimes the photos have been 
 missing and I assume that file naming is to blame.
 
 My question is how to name the files,
 
 I assume opening page is index.html
 
 2 nd page is  gallery.htm
 
 and photos  .images
 
 
 Can someone help me with this. Do I have to put all these files in
 a folder to upload.
 
 I have bought loads of books but none cover this bit !
 
 Many thanks
 
 John
 

Hi John,

Do you have an URL we can visit and check?

As you mentioned localhost, I'm assuming you're trying to view your
website on a web server (Apache, or similar) running on your own PC.
In that case, you'll need to copy all of the files into the
appropriate folder which Apache uses as it's main folder. For Apache
installed through the software centre in Ubuntu, this is /var/www/ but
other implementations may vary.

I'd also check that the names you've used in your HTML code is
correctly pointing to the files you're trying to reference. In
particular, take care of the file extensions - you've mentioned
index.html but gallery.htm (no 'l').

Good luck,
Chris

Hello All

Good advice above.

Just an idea for anyone getting their head around Web pages...

I've been using a dropbox.com free account as a testing system for Web pages 
with _relative_ links.

Install the dropbox software (nautilus-dropbox on Ubuntu or dropbox.exe on 
Windows) and you get a new folder called Dropbox in your home drive / user 
directory.

Just pop your pages and images (usually in a sub folder) into the Public folder 
of the dropbox folder. On your PC/Ubuntu box, right click over the index.html 
then click on the Dropbox item, then Copy Public Link. 

Paste that lot into a Web browser and you can check the _relative_ links, and 
you can show us if you get lost.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8403291/thinkpad-x200s-ubuntu1204.html

Above is a page in progress (I'll finish it tomorrow afternoon as I have a huge 
gap between sessions).

UK Ebay oddly enough. It is an X200s, not an X200 and is about four years old 
now. X60s laptops go for about £150, and this one just popped up at a Buy It 
Now price that looked reasonable, so I did.

There are half a dozen X200/X200s at around the same now, so I think that is 
the 'going rate'

Back on topic: this seems to run Ubuntu 12.04 really well - very fast and no 
glitches so far. Getting three to four hours off the battery. Dual monitor 
works fine with 1080p cheapo LED monitor. I'll try it for a couple of months 
and perhaps sell the PC.

as a newbie I'm in the process of switching over to Ubuntu, and as I run
a small business I use MS Visio for my site plans . My question is what
is the equivalent in Ubuntu? Also I've  just bought a Wacom Bamboo pad,
and I've seen lots of posts on here on using it, so any help with
installing the bamboo or using it would be really appreciated.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using and which version of the Wacom
Bamboo?

I would recommend you have a look at Dia and Inkscape. The Gimp is
also good, but is not a vector format editor. There is also Xfig, but
that may feel a little 'old fashined'.

Hi Jon,

Not sure if this will help at all... http://www.osalt.com/visio

I've not really used Visio that much, but I believe Dia which is 
mentioned on the link above may offer some of the same sort of features.

It may also be possible to run Visio on Ubuntu using either Crossover 
Office [1] or Wine [2] although compatibility may vary depending on 
which version you're running.  CrossOver Office is a commercial app 
although it's fairly cheap (IIRC about £20 to £30) and it does have a 
free 30 day trial available so you can test compatibility and Wine is 
free anyway.

Anyway, hope this helps and good luck, we're a generally friendly bunch 
here so if you get stuck I'm sure you'll get one or maybe 20 replies 
within a few minutes :-)

I can highly reccomend Dia.

Give it a go before checking out the alternative options listed above, 
as YMMV, but Dia is a concrete program which I have gladly reccomended
