Hi Brother..
This is the best place to start with.
You can still to css and html straight away from cpanel by clicking " New File".cPanel is just an interface between you and the backend core functions of the server.It is not a develpment environment.Hence study things in the following Url.

Hey Hey!
Whatever you do or want to do, do it in public_html or www folder.
These folders(linked together) are the folders used for displaying your website.
Create a new file - my1stfile.htm with some html tags like
<html><body>
<h1>Hey</h1>
</body></html>
And save it and browse/view it using your domain name.
Check w3,etc for more help!
A word of caution though, if you are using "cpanel's file manger" then use www folder instead of public_html for creating new files/folder.
Also, you could use(locally) some IDE (integrated development environment) like gedit(linux) or npp(windows) if you want to.
Write back if you face any difficulty !

Hi, I went in and tried to do an h1 tag for an experiment and it didn't work. It had a link thingy on the site when I looked. I don't seem to be able to do any HTML in my website.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the file extension supposed to be .html, not .htm?

Both work, just personal preference and sometimes the configuration of the system you're using. In x10's case, both are set up to tell the browser to prepare for HTML content, so it works just fineOriginally Posted by paint2010

h1 didn't work ? link thingy? like what ?
Post your website/page address.
And, you are supposed to write it as a plain text not as rich text(rtf, doc,docx) with ansi or unicode encoding.
Use notepad or use "edit" of cpanel.

cPanel is for site administration and isn't required for web site creation. You can use it to upload and edit files, but there are other tools for that.
If you're having problems, describe what you expect and what you get (including any error messages), and include sample code. When asking about problems in web development, include a link to a live page.
As for W3Schools, it's often referred to but of poor quality. Better are "Semantic Content Markup", "Semantics, HTML, XHTML, and Structure", "How To Create" and "HTML Dog".
If you use [code], [html] or [php] tags (as appropriate), it will preserve your sample code, including formatting, and provide some hilighting.
HTML Code:<html><body> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push( ['_setAccount', 'UA-1806325-2'], ['_trackPageview'] ); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); //--> </script> <h1>Hey</h1> </body></html>gedit doesn't count as an IDE. It may be a featureful editor, but that's about it without a debugger. Notepad++ does have some debugging and compilation plug-ins, but seems to be missing more extensive project build functionality.

Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.Misson, not Mission.

http://sketchbook.x10.mx/ is the address for my site. To put in coding do I need to save a project from notepad and attach that?

Change the name "test" to "index.htm" to get rid of the directory listing and to load that page as the default page. That isn't a .htm or a .html file. You need to make sure the extension is included with the name. Rename the file via cPanel's file manager.
Test.html (.htm files are not accepted when uploading attachments).
