Cool Page is an unlimited free trial pagemaker. After 30 days it adds it's own link to thier site though. It can be found at www.3dize.com

I think i figured it out Crazyhorse! But how do you get a picture to enlarge after you click on it....i understand you make the picture a link but what do you put in the box to link it to a bigger picture, and where do you put the bigger picture?  Jeff

Click the pic in coolpage then in tha toolbar at the top put in the filename like this http://www.geocities.com/pintoman351/filename.jpg
that should link the page to the pic at full size

does that mean i have to put a full size picture somewhere on the site that it links to?
Title: Re:Free web site creator?
Post by: crazyhorse on December 04, 2003, 11:59:39 PM
no, when you upload the site the pics are uploaded full size so you just have to link to the pic you uploaded

geocities.com is a pretty good one.  it's part of yahoo, and i had to make a few websights for school, and it's pretty simple and self explanatory, there's only 1 banner on the sight, and you can have quite a bit of stuff on your sight.

In coolpage, if all else fails , preview you page in internet explorer, then click the view tab, then view source. you save that as HTML document, then upload that, along with all your pics manually.
i had the same trouble with coolpage , and a broadband modem, it works better on a dialup go figure?!?!
