Help!Confused I'm just starting my first site. I have a good ftp server & I've uploaded my file to my site. My words are there but the first half of the site is in hypertext. I don't have any other program or software for the site yet. Please tell me what I need to get. I greatly appreciate it. I don't know much about this stuff yet.-Thank you:)

Read your code, you may have a extra "<". Provide a link that would be best indeed.

Looks like you have some script in there and you uploaded the file in "binary". Select "ascii" in your ftp while uploading files except for some image files. Try uplaoding the file again in ascii.

If you need any extensive help you get a quote for your project for free from one of the programmers, at our site.

Good Luck!

Copy and paste code below.

Don't know if this will help or not but I thought it worth a try to at least get you started. Maybe some other generous soul will make you some tables. Wink Keep in mind if you do use this that it really isn't what all you want you page to be. You need to learn about using tables for you layout...for example so that you can have your navigaion on the left side of the page and divide your text up into sections so that it won't be just a big page of words. I think there is a free editor that you can download. Maybe someone will post it here or give you some other suggestions. It looked to me that you had a lot of MS Word stuff in your page but don't hold me to this.

Good luck!

        <blockquote>
          <p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000">This
            site is designed to give you comfort &amp; encouragement in these
            troubling times. You may have heard that Christians believe these
            days we are living in are talked about in The Bible. I and many other
            Christians have been at the place where we didn&#146;t believe any
            of this. The good thing is that any one can see for themselves by
            looking in the book of Revelations. God didn&#146;t tell us about
            what was to come so that we would be frightened. As a matter of fact
            He doesn&#146;t want you to ever be afraid. If you trust Him, He will
            never let you down. He told us so that we would turn from our bad
            ways &amp; follow Him. Where people tend to blame God is that He allows
            things to happen. That&#146;s because we all have trials to go through,
            to make us stronger, more compassionate people. And without the bad,
            we couldn&#146;t appreciate the good. That&#146;s not to say that
            we will always suffer. Once His eternal plan is in place, there will
            be no more suffering, no more evil in the world, or any where else.
            God is the most patient being ever. Yet, even He can only tolerate
            so much. However, thanks to His beautiful Grace, the only limit to
            His patience is the limit of our own will. He loves us so much that
            He wanted us to have a choice in who we would serve. He would never
            force anyone to do anything. He does know what we will do in the future.
            That is what dictates our fate, our willingness, or non-willingness
            to walk upright &amp; follow our Lord, Jesus Christ. He truly is The
            Messiah, The True Son Of God. If it weren&#146;t for Him dying for
            us we would not exist. <i>&#147;For God so loved the world that He
            gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall
            not perish, but have everlasting life.&#148;-John 3:16.</i></font></p>
          <p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000">I
            know, you probably think this is crazy cult-like stuff, right. First
            of all, cults are simply false religions trying to imitate the one
            true Religion of Christianity. Think I&#146;m being discriminating?
            That&#146;s because the enemy has invented so many false faiths that
            we simply are suppose to be. God IS truly The One true God. There
            has NEVER been another. He really is our Creator. Ask yourself this,
            how is The Bible the oldest book in the world? If it was false, wouldn&#146;t
            it have gone away like every other fad in the world? Here&#146;s another
            good one, if the &#145;gods&#146; of others are real, why does everyone
            pray to God when things are bad? The Bible is true. It&#146;s a large
            historical document, filled with the accounts of people from the time
            before Jesus (Old Testament) to the times after Jesus (New Testament).
            Jesus&#146; Words grace many of the pages in the New Testament, &amp;
            in some of The Old Testament as well. HE was there in the beginning
            when God created everything. The next major thing to happen in the
            prophetic timeline is The Rapture of Christ&#146;s Church. That is
            when Jesus will come to meet us in the sky. We are the generation
            of Believers that will not die. We will be saved from the coming Tribulation,
            from all of the suffering that&#146;s about to take place. It is believed
            that we only have a couple of years until all of this takes place.
            When The Rapture occurs, every child on the planet is going to disappear,
            along with every Christian who walks upright with Him. Ask yourself,
            do you want to be here for what&#146;s about to happen, or would you
            prefer Heaven. It&#146;s your choice. Thank you for taking the time
            to read this message. If it has helped you in any way, please refer
            a friend to this site. I and countless other Christians are praying
            for you at least daily. </font> </p>
          <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000">Jesus
            loves you &amp; so do I. </font></p>
          <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000">God
            bless you. </font></p>

            for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains!
            For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted
            ones.&#148;-Isaiah 49:13 </i></font></p>
