Hello
Wanted to learn more about website creation and learn about HTML.
( going on adult education class shortly)
Hoping cksource might be an introduction
Donloaded CK source: Advice said load to the root of your website. But havent got one.
Hoped I could load a word doc ( foundation) to see how HTML would see it. Then learn from there.
If as dumbo I am way off beam here or there are charges I am not aware of then grateful for advice
Do please advise so I dont waste your time

Re: Dumbo visiting Please tell if I am offbeam
Even though you can, you're not supposed to create websites with CKEditor, just modify the content. It lets you change the text area from this:
To this: http://ckeditor.com/demo
If you have a website server then you have a root folder. It's basically the first thing you're in when you log in via FTP. Anyway, you can create a simple web page by doing the following:
1) Go here: http://nightly.ckeditor.com/7655/_samples/fullpage.html
2) Click "Source" button
3) Copy everything in textarea
4) Create a new text document on your desktop ("Text Document.txt")
5) Paste what you copied into the txt file and save
6) Change New "Text Document.txt" to "Text Document.html"
7) Double click "Text Document.html"
It should automatically open the html doc in a web browser and you should see "This is some sample text. You are using CKEditor." If you want to modify the code just reopen the html in notepad. You can use the demo in point 1 to create a functional page.

To get an idea of how HTML works, all you really need is use source mode in our demo page to see how an HTML website is structured. The rest is just adding stuff between the <html><body> tags. If you want to create a basic page, create a table with a bunch of rows and columns and no borders, then merge cells and add content. Of course, everybody will tell you creating pages inside tables is wrong, but that should get you started. Check the source. If you want more info on HTML you should check Youtube.
