Create a Physics & Math Website: Hosts, Software, Frontpage

[misogynisticfeminist]

I am thinking of making a website which introduces ideas in modern physics. I am thinking of making it as self-contained as possible, and I would have 2 sections, one physics and one math. But the problem is, which free hoster supports equations? Because I did the material in Ms word using mathtype. Also, is there a programme which would allow me to draw gemetrical figures and show it on the website? Thanks alot. Also, I am thinking of using frontpage, how would i upload my website from there?

I did a google search and found this:

"users of Microsoft Word can automatically export all equations into a folder as GIF, EPS, WMF, or PICT, using the Export Equations command."

Therefore you'll can just export the equations to a gif and put them into your html content.

For drawing, I like this program:

Frontpage should have a wizard for uploading a website. I would check the help documentation.

You can also upload your files to the website by using an ftp client.

Creating a physics and math website is a great idea! It's a great way to share your knowledge and passion for these subjects with others. As for your concerns about hosting, software, and frontpage, here are some suggestions:

1. Hosts: There are many free hosting options available for websites, such as WordPress, Wix, and Weebly. These platforms have built-in support for equations and mathematical symbols, making it easy for you to transfer your content from Microsoft Word.

2. Software: As mentioned above, WordPress, Wix, and Weebly have built-in support for equations and mathematical symbols. However, if you are looking for a more specialized software, you can try LaTeX or MathJax. These are free software specifically designed for typesetting mathematical equations.

3. Frontpage: Frontpage is a website creation tool that was popular in the early 2000s but is no longer supported by Microsoft. Instead, you can use more modern and user-friendly website builders such as WordPress, Wix, and Weebly. These platforms have drag-and-drop editors that make it easy to upload your content, including equations and geometrical figures.

4. Uploading your website: With website builders like WordPress, Wix, and Weebly, uploading your website is as simple as clicking a button. They have built-in hosting services, so you don't have to worry about manually uploading your website. However, if you decide to use a different hosting provider, you can use an FTP client to upload your website files.

I hope this helps you get started on creating your physics and math website. Best of luck!
