I am having trouble making a simple web page. I dont understand how to use a web page template. Im basically just looking for a simple black or green background that I can write on for starters.
Whenever I download a template I get a folder with a bunch of files and images I dont know what to do with can anyone help?
The folder contain the files that make up the web template. You will need to open the index.html file in a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver or Frontpage to make changes to it.
If you want it to be really simple, like having nothing but white text on a black background, you can just fire up a text editor like Notepad and type this:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="black">
<font color="white">
INSERT YOUR TEXT HERE.
</body>
</html>
Since you already downloaded the template, your best bet is to go in Frontpage, Dreamweaver, or any of the free WYSIWYG web site editors floating around, and change it.
Contact me through derekconjar.com if you need more help, or want me to do it for you.
Edit: The post above me advised you to use a style sheet with the HTML. It’s always a good thing, but you don’t have to if your site is as simple as you make it sound. If you already have a web template, you might as well not even worry about that and just edit the template.

you need to learn HTML and CSS to start….
here are some sample files, copy the text, save them as HTML and upload them to your web server.
BLACK BACKGROUND WITH GREEN TEXT
<html>
<style type="text/css">
body{
background-color: black;
color: green;
}
</style>
<head>
<title>Example Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
GREEN BACKGROUND WITH BLACK TEXT
<html>
<style type="text/css">
body{
background-color: green;
color: black;
}
</style>
<head>
<title>Example Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Firstly how are you planning to make it…
Using raw html in something like notepad or with a program like dreamweaver or front page express?
Personally I’d open up notepad search for a html tutorial. (If you want a recomendation I’d use http://www.w3schools.com . They let you edit their examples online and you see how it would change your page.) And just learn how to create them like that first. If you want to get good you’ll need to learn html somewhere along the line however you intend to make it so why not start. Also I find it more satisfying doing it this way.
Don’t bother with templates if you just want a coloured background you can write on then there’s no need. Just ask if you want me to tell you the code for doing that.
