Basics Hitop

Introduction.

I've been using Hitop to help me build websites for a few years, and have found it to be a very powerful programme. However the lack of documentation though, can hold you back. Hence I decided to write a tutorial, to help people learn this powerful website creation tool.

Hitop (and its sister programme Hitoplive) have helped me build and maintain my original website, Planet Bods. As a site with over 250 pages, it's made my life much easier. I've also used Hitoplive to build smaller sites, and no matter how big your site is, it will benefit in some way from being built in Hitop.

This tutorial is aimed at giving the beginner an understanding of Hitop, enabling them to start using the program in building websites. The tutorial will look at many of the features which a user of Hitop will want to know, including the building of the all important navigation bar, which Hitop makes so easy to do.

This tutorial is very much under development. I post regular additions as I write them, and I would welcome any comments, criticisms and suggestions you may have. You can email me at hitop@bods.me.uk to let me know what you think.
