OK - so it ain't as cool as the RockPage....

...but I just created my first website. Our band, Big Bang Theory, needed one, so I took it upon myself to figure out how to use MS-FrontPage enough to get something usable, and got it hosted pretty cheap (I won't mention where, since some of our friends on the RockPage are in the business - I'm just using the place where Skruem (my other band) has their site hosted.)

Anyway - check it out....

www.bbtrocks.com

Nothing fancy, but I'm feeling pretty cool that I did this pretty much all on my own for the first time.

Hey J,

I was prompted for a password when I tried to go to your site.

In the words of Tim the Tool Man Taylor, "Unnghh?!?!"

Anyone else having any trouble? One person said the graphic was covering the navigation buttons, but those are the only 2 problems I've heard so far.....

Hey J;

I CAN reach your site from the URL you posted in the services forum. I don't know why I get the password prompt in this thread.

Great to see you jammin' with Tony Scaltz. I studied theory under him for a while. He's one of the best players around.

Some of the pics will not open for me on the index page when I use Mozilla. I can't find them by url either.

In IE it's fine.

Not too bad!!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I think some of the problems are stemming from teh fact that I used FrontPage to create all of it, and I have been told that perhaps FrontPage inserts weird shit into the html, and that anything but Internet Explorer has translation problems with sites created with FrontPage. News to me - I thought html was html, but the proof seems to be in the pudding, so to speak.

Anyone know where I can get Dreamweaver cheap?

Thanks again for the feedback - this community of musicians is freakin' awesome!

Depends on which version you use.

I had to set up a web server with FrontPage Extensions recently, and thus had to do a lot of testing with FrontPage 2003. I was very surprised at how cleanly it did the HTML compared to the older versions. The older ones made a hella mess.

It even has an option to leave your existing HTML, if you have any, completely alone.

ROCKPAGE
