Well, now you've got all your HTML, and all your CSS, and you're ready to put it all up on your webpage. To do that, you'll need to FTP into your website and move the files. Sound complicated? Don't worry, it's easy. You'd better get used to it too - this is how you get your comics off your computer and into the world.
Ok, so quickly before we start this process, let's get organized. By now, you should have a few things. Put all of these in a folder somewhere easy to get to, like on the desktop:
So let's get this show on the road. First, you need an FTP client. What's FTP? It stands for File Transfer Protocol. We need a "client" (program) to "transfer" (move) our "files" (that crap you just organized). There's lots of programs out there to do this. To show you, i'll be using FileZilla. If you don't already have an FTP client, you can download Filezilla, one of the ones from the link before that, or even just do a google search for one.
Not all programs to this are the same, so i'll just run through how to do it in Filezilla. First, click File, and open the Site Manager. Click New site, and name it something appropriate. Where it says Host: put in YOURCOMIC.comicgenesis.com. My webpage is cwcomics.comicgenesis.com, so i put that in.
Next, change the logon type to normal. Put your user name in the User: box, (so i put in cwcomics) and put your password in the password box (so i put in 1234, same as my luggage). If you've forgotten your password, the internet is laughing at you. You can use this to get it back, but your dignity is already gone. Now all you have to do is click Connect.
As you connect, you'll see lots of text moving in the top part. Don't worry about it unless you start seeing red error messages. The left side of the screen is your computer. The right side is the server. You move files to the server by dragging and dropping them onto the right side. If you look at the top of the server side, where it says Remote Site:, you should see /. That's where you are on the server. If you arent there, delete whatever it says, put in a / and push enter.
First, we need to go to the workspace folder, so double click it to get there. Inside, you should see a few folders, along with dailytemplate.html and indextemplate.html. Those are the files we made with the generator. We're going to need to replace them - fortunately, all we have to do is drag and drop our new files. It will ask you if you want to overwrite, just click yes.
Next, let's go in the webpages folder, so double click it. You need to put screen.css here, along with any other pages you made. If you put them anywhere else, none of the links will work, your pages will look silly, and things just won't go smoothly. After that, we're done in this folder, so click the folder at the top with the two dots to go back.
If you have any images, now is the time to put them up. Double click the Images folder. Remeber if you clicked the button so that you could put a banner at the top of the page called banner.jpg? This is where you put it. This is also where you should put the images that you downloaded along with your CSS file, if any came with it. At this point, your website is really done, but as long as we're here, click the two dots again.
Notice the comics folder? That's where you put all those lovely comics you've been slaving over, and now have a halfway lovely page to put them on.
Because of the way Comic Genesis works, you won't see the changes to your page immediately. If you wait a day, they'll show up on their own, but if you're impatient you can follow steps 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 of this particular tutorial.
That pretty much concludes making your webpage. In time, you'll most likely outgrow the simple CSS files provided. Feel free to make your own, modify mine, or whatever - and if you wind up doing so, consider emailing me with them. You can find a lot of other good information on how Comic Genesis works, tutorials, in jokes, and other such junk at the CG Wiki.
