I've taken a class on HTML, but really no idea how to do it. (Frontpage, too, but I take it this is about doing it manually :wink: ) Anyhow, is there a site that I can go to with all of the codes listed nicely, user friendly, etc? :lol: I like it nice and easy! Am willing to learn!

Hey amsd, CricketMX has very basic HTML, just adding pictures and text. In v1.06 I'll be adding an area where you can add music (probably just mp3 and wav to start with). At the moment my downloads page is down, but I will try and get it up soon :)

The scripts in CricketMX are pretty easy to remember, so I hope you learn something from them :D

No not really, you don't need to install it or anything, you just unzip it. There's not really a word to describe it :lol:

Is there anything in particular you want to learn? CricketMX at the moment only supports text and pictures, but you can add more if you wish :)

You have said that this is a basic program. If you understand html and know how to use it can a user make it more advanced? I learn stuff rather quickly and I have heard HTML can be fairly simple. So I am wondering if I learn HTML can I make my website more advanced?

If you learn HTML, you won't need CricketMX :P

That makes sense Battye but couldn't you use CricketMX and HTML knowledge in conjunction with eachother to make a decent website rather quickly? Maybe I am off base since I haven't played with this yet. I just downloaded it a few minutes ago.

Yes you can use the two together :)

Decent? Well, it depends on how much HTML you know...

HTML is not that simple really... do u know what is stands for?? i went to a site where it gives you a 7 day tutorial on how 2 do it, i learnt the whole tutorial in 30 mins, so in 1 sense you can say its simple but in another its not, depends how u fast you can observe..

Yes I do Boozy. I learn things rather quickly so it shouldn't be too hard. Benn playing with Front Page a little and you can view what you stuff looks like in HTML and it makes sense. I'll have to check that tutorial out when I get a chance.
