❓ Getting Started

Q: What's HTML?
A: It's the language of the web! HTML is just text with special tags like <h1> and <p> that tell browsers how to display stuff.

Q: Do I need to know programming?
A: Nope! HTML isn't programming, it's markup. If you can write text and put it between tags, you're golden.

Q: How do I get started?
A: 1) Make a file called index.html 2) Put some HTML in it 3) Upload it here 4) You're on the web!
⚠️ Important: index.html must be in the root, NOT in a subfolder!

🎨 Making Your Page

Q: What should I put on my page?
A: Whatever you want! Your thoughts, your art, your cat photos, a shrine to your favorite band. It's YOUR corner of the internet.

Q: Can I use fancy stuff like JavaScript?
A: Totally! Upload any HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, whatever. We just serve your files as-is.

Q: Can I upload multiple files?
A: Yes! Upload folders, images, stylesheets, scripts - everything. Just make sure you have an index.html in the root as your main page (not inside a subfolder).

🔗 Linking Files

Q: Why don't my images/CSS/links work?
A: You're probably using the wrong path! There are two types of links:

Relative links (recommended):
<img src="photo.jpg"> - same folder
<link href="css/style.css"> - in a subfolder
<a href="../index.html"> - go up one folder

Absolute links (from root - note the leading / slash):
<img src="/~yourusername/photo.jpg">
<link href="/~yourusername/css/style.css">

💡 Pro tip: Use relative links! They work locally AND on the server. Absolute links starting with a / slash (like /~yourusername/) only work on the server.

Q: My page works locally but breaks online?
A: Check your links! If you're using file:/// paths or C:\Users\ paths, those won't work on the web. Use relative paths instead.

📚 Learning Resources

Q: Where can I learn HTML?
A: Try W3Schools or MDN. Or just view source on websites you like and copy what they do!

Q: Any simple examples?
A: Sure! Here's a basic page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>This is my page.</p>
</body>
</html>
