I agree, a better download ships page would be much better. How about having the page simply be a link to this forum, or maybe a sub-forum and then let people post their own ships (possibly with pictures)?

I've added the Penguin (79 cost support ship) and the Fat Frog (129 cost fighter_bomber)

For some reason I cannot access your page any longer. Any idea why?

Here's a dumb question. How do you use the ships? Just put them in the CM folder and they'll show up? Do they have to be imported? Thanks.

One of the download links, Black Eye, I believe, is broken.

rich12545, it doesn't matter where they are. You just have to import them.

1. Rent storage from a provider.
2. Get a high speed link and set up your own server.

The easiest way is to rent space from a provider such as 5dollarhosting.com or laughingsquid.com. For about $60 per year, you have a set amount of memory and an allocation of bandwidth. You must build your own web pages with links to files that you upload.

You would have to register a URL of your own. For example, I have http://www.selectedplants.com/ registered for 5 years. The cost of a 5 year registration was about $50.

Once you have a registered URL, contact a hosting service as above. They will help you with the details of getting your URL directed to their servers. Once that is done, you will be ready to start building web pages.

Please note that there are some excellent editors available for building webpages. Microsoft's Frontpage is an example of a mediocre one. Since my needs are simple, I use an older version of Netscape composer. I also edit html directly in flat text mode.

I hope this isn't information overload. It is very simple to do. I had my website designed and running in just a few hours.

OMJ,

My entire page is written in HTML so you can 'view source' to see exatly how it's written.
However I didn't write it directly in HTML I used FrontPlague (Microsoft FrontPage) for much of it (fixing it in HTML whenever FP does things I don't like (such as selecting a colour three times when it only needs selected once).

As far as hosting is concerned, most ISPs provide a small amount of web space which is more than adequate for a few personal pages.

BZA.

You can use a free host for these small files, something I have been considering for some time.
