Okay, a couple of days ago, I created an account with JaguarPC (http://www.jaguarpc.com) and got a domain through AletianNIC (http://www.aletianic.com/). I went to Phpbb (http://www.phpbb.com) by Bluewolf's advice. I after reading about the website, I realised this: I have no idea what I'm doing. Can somebody help me? I'm trying to create a forum much like this but I can't figure out how. My address is www.microfans.net (http://www.microfans.net). Thank you for your tme!
I've set up a couple now for clients, I can try and help you out. Where are you having trouble?
For a start, you need to set up an index file so that when people go to www.microfans.net, they don't see a flat directory list... heh.
Yeah, but how do I do that? lol
Ah, so what you're telling me is you have no idea whatsoever how to design and upload a web page?
Well, I got the forum part but I don't know how to make the homepage actually look like something...
Well, wordpress, coppermine and PHPBB are all accessible. Basically all you need is a front page. My guess is that you don't know any HTML? w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com) is a good site for beginners. Just go over the first few HTML tutorials.
For a very basic index.html file, you could probably use something like this:
<head></head>
<body>
<a href="/charmed/">Wordpress</a>
<a href="/charmedheroes/">Coppermine</a>
<a href="/forum/">phpBB</a>
</body>
