1.Anyone know a code that let's people download stuff from your website?

2.What stuff do you need to create a layout and how do you do it?

Note:I would like people to answer 2 questions not 1 but if you answer 1 that's ok.

Just make a link with the file as the href="".

To make a layout you need knowledge of coding and a graphics program. A good one is Paint shop Pro or Photoshop.

1.Anyone know a code that let's people download stuff from your website?
you may have to use a ZIP file to contain the stuff you want to download. you then link to the zip file and it will do the rest.
http://www.winzip.com
basically, you open a zip file (folder), put whatever files inside, upload it, and link to it. visitors will need a zip program to get the contents out of the zip file after download.

2.What stuff do you need to create a layout and how do you do it?
notepad and instructions such as seen on lissaexplains.com. everyones layout is different, so its hard to say what would be best for you to use.

some people may take that as being rude considering we are just volunteering our time and efforts and it almost sounds like you are insisting on both questions being answered. most people on here are very nice and help as much as possible, but take into consideration that some things cannot be done or may not have an easy answer to them.

Hmm. Actually, I personally use Photoshop to make them, and notepad to code them. Maybe learn some HTML from LEIA before starting on your own. It'll help alot! Cos that's how I start!
