i need some help with a web page/site... it's no doubt extremely easy for one who knows what they are doing, and I don't.

there's an existing site and i need to put some rather good and interesting news on it, as soon as possible, like, by tomorrow. I figured I could maybe stick a splash page up there, something that everyone would see once they loaded up that URL, then read that news and then click "enter site" or whatever. but, i have no idea how to do that!

can anyone please tell me how to do this? or maybe even configure it for me????

thanks guys!
here is the page i want to put up...







additional...if someone can get this done, or help me get it done, i'll even send you a monitor or something as thanks!

Just post your news page and name it index.html changing the index.html to main.html or something. Then just include a link on the news page to main.html.

ok, that makes sense to me, but what about the image at the top of that new page? where would i put that, and how do i make sure it's found?? just use an "a href" or "img src" link or something?

thanks again!

Just use a <img src="path/to/file.jpg" /> at the top of the page and put the graphic where you indicated in the link, then add an <a href="main.html">Click to enter site</a> at the bottom.

just remember though if you do change the index.html to anythingelse.html that you will have to change the navigation on all pages of the site to change the "home" link....

Good point! I forgot about that, but if this is a temporary announcement, it isn't too bad to have it redirect to the news flash and click into the real index page for a day or two.
