Wendy James Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 1. A text editer, an ftp program both should be used when editing files. 2. yes check the contributions area 3. yes 4. 1 database 5. you have to find your own host, if you pay for hosting which you will have to to get php and mysql and be able to use ssl there shouldnt be any advertising 6. lots of stuff, read the forums and the knowledgebase 7 you're welcome Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.

Wendy James Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 You can use anything that will allow you to view the code. Some people use programs like Dreamweaver, others use something as simple as notepad. There are a ton of sites out there where you can download free ftp programs and editers. Just do a search. :) Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
