Where's my homepage???

For some reason my website was not navigating to my homepage and I could not for the life of me work out how to get it to do so. I have a mate who is a tutor for Web Engeneering so I hit him up for some kind of explaination. He said the server will automatically navigate to index.html . Once i'd changed my homepage to index.html it loaded up and the website is complete. YAY

Publishing to Web

The website is finally working in Mozzila. The time came to upload it to the web. When I first got the GMail accound and Blooger account I also signed up for a free webserver site. with this already sitting there waiting I just had to upload my files to their site....somehow. I wasn't sure exactally how but i knew it involved something to do with FPT. Once I found the control panel of the webserver they had link to download a FTP Client. It's a one month tiral; I should be all finished in one month so i did it. It's simply a matter of log into the web server and then drop and drag.

The second image is of the tab which you drag you computers files from.

Please make me a Navbar

The old navbar....... what a pain. Initially I wanted to have a navbar which had a pop out menu for each tab. I'm still hoping to be able to do this. Below is my ideal.

However I have gone to a number of sites that have templates for these types of navbars and they appear relatively simple. Such as the one below.

Can you read the text there???? "three steps to install" THREE why didn't I just do that? Cos I like making life hard for myself. I have not been able to find one that has a vertical navbar. the one that I did find who had a vertical option was impossible to read and I could not integrate with my current layout.
