Basic HTML/CSS
So I made a basic page in HTML : file:///Users/CaiGengYang/Documents/CaiGengYang.html
Thinking of what product to build to get some users to test and use it. Any ideas/suggestions ?
- blueflow 11y agoPlease see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme
- CaiGengYang 11y agoblueflow, what's the point of this wikipedia page?
- blueflow 11y agoThe file:// scheme refers to local files. Local files on your local computer. Inaccessible from the outside world.
- CaiGengYang 11y agoOk I think I get what you mean .. so this : file:///Users/CaiGengYang/Documents/CaiGengYang.html is a local file on my local laptop because it has the "file://" scheme and thus is inaccessible to other people besides myself. So how do I create a personal site like this : http://www.paulgraham.com/ http://www.paulgraham.com/ which is fully accessible to the public ?
- blueflow 11y agoFor http: You need to place the File in a directory which is served by a Webserver which is public accessible. Its kinda complex and there are many, many ways to achieve this. If you can use git and have a github account, you can use Github Pages: https://pages.github.com/ https://pages.github.com/
- CaiGengYang 11y agoblueflow, I created a GitHub account here : https://github.com/CaiGengYang/CaiGengYang#caigengyang https://github.com/CaiGengYang/CaiGengYang#caigengyang This is a site for hackers and programmers to collaborate on code and projects ? Cool ... How to start creating a project ?
- krapp 11y agoGithub is a remote host for Git repositories - if you don't know how to use git then you're going to need to learn. If you do, great. Since your profile says you're trying to become a programmer and want to work for Google, it's a necessary skill.) Github pages is a way to host sites from a Github hosted repository: https://pages.github.com/ https://pages.github.com/ There are other ways to host a site as well, typically involving an account with some service (Godaddy and Hostgator are two popular ones but there are hundreds of options) and registering a domain name, and uploading the files (usually by FTP though modern services deploy by git as well) to the remote server. Then the domain name points to the files on that server.
- rman666 11y agoCaiGengYang, no one can get to the page you created because the web address (URL) you provided is apparently on your local machine. You need to provide us a web accessible URL. Good luck.
- CaiGengYang 11y agorman666, How do I check what is the web accessible URL?
