HTMLPad 2014 Tutor
Projects
Before we start cranking out web pages with our editor we need to get organized.
We started in our basic tutorial by creating an htdocs folder for storing our web pages.
Suppose we were going to create more than one website in the future.
HTMLPad makes this possible by dividing website possibilities into Projects.
Of course if you're only going to build one site now and forever you could just name your project HTDOCS and go from there.
For those with intentions of building more than one website, create separate folders within the htdocs folder for each different website.
Ready for an HTML Editor?
You may be by the time you finish this tutorial.
I use HTMLPad 2014 for creating my websites.
In my opinion, it's the best full featured HTML 5 editor on the market for Any Price.
Better code editing features than most of the 'over priced' editors.
You can't make a mistake without seeing it immediately.
It has built in FTP for uploading your pages to your server.
For advanced users, it syncs up easily with a local host server for testing forms and scripts right on your PC.

Get Started Right!!!!
Setting Up a Project
Click Project - New Project
Give the Project a name. Then navigate to the folder where your pages will be stored.
If you are going to provide videos, create a folder inside the root and add the extensions to the file list or use the wild card. (*.*)
Then click Publishing Settings
Setting Up FTP
Of course, you can't complete ftp set up unless you've purchased your web hosting. If you haven't, you can add it later.
If you have your web hosting, enter your ftp.url address in the box and click select.
First time through you'll get the box shown below this one.
Give it a label
Host should match what you entered as your ftp.url
All of this information is supplied by your web host when you sign up.
FYI: We sell shared web hosting for one web site for $3.25USD per month. Instant Set Up. Free Domain Name. Great Support Desk. CaFWhosting.com. And we don't Over Sell our servers.
Once you get your Projects with FTP settings finished, you're ready to start creating web pages.
You can upload (publish) your pages and images one at a time or upload the entire site with a simple click or 2.
No need to use a third party FTP tool.
How to Publish
Click Project - Publish Project to FTP. Other Options available.
