I am using wordpress for the first time, I have created a news/blog website called trimline news. I have created the site locally using MAMP, (modifying the twenty eleven theme).
What I want to is upload the website I have made to a free wordpress site, so trimlinenews.wordpress.com, I have been looking for tutorials online how to do this but I can only find ones that require you to have your own server and domain.
Can anyone please help me out, or point me in the direction for help with this.
Thanks in advance, Tom
You need to export the the hosted blog into a XML file and import it into wordpress.com site
See below link in wordpress support
Moving a blog
Wordpress.com does not provide FTP access so it's not possible to upload your theme. You can just import the content on your blog. You need to select a similar theme in the wordpress dashboard and purchase a Custom Design upgrade for editing your theme.
Export your content locally - Dashboard>>Tools>>Export - and import it at wordpress.com
You can't upload a complete theme folder to .COM ; no FTP access. You will need to redo your edits in a copy of the theme at .COM with the custom CSS upgrade.

I'm not sure what is wrong, I've tried copying and moving all the contents to another folder and tried again but it still does not detect the HTML file nor does it detect the images in my image folder. Is there something wrong with my folders? or is Microsoft Azure the problem? I'm trying to host a static website using Microsoft Azure. I followed steps from a youtube video I've watched (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttmEOLKk3Cw&t=321s&ab_channel=JohnSavill%27sTechnicalTraining) this is the video and when I reached 4:00 minutes that's where the problem started.

I found a few web hosting services that look great (e.g. Google Sites, Wix, etc.) but none seem to allow to just upload an HTML file, rather than embed HTML code in a website that was created using the provided web builders.
Anyone know of a web hosting service that allows to just upload complete pre-coded HTML files rather than having to go through a web builder? Or is it possible with the two websites I mentioned above?
Thank you in advance.
You can use:
https://000webhost.com/
https://www.netlify.com/
https://pages.github.com/
Or if you work with framework such as React or Flask for Python web, you can use https://www.heroku.com/. It's free and you can even host your website through repository on your Github.

I am trying to learn more about wordpress and am bothered with this question.
I hosted my site on bluehost and decided to make a backup. I made a copy of public_html and downloaded it, I was later told by the support that I also need to export the database. That got me thinking where the actual data is located, if not in the public_html directory, where are the actual files that contains all the tables etc?
I asked the support but didn't get a good answer. Surely, all the data must be stored in some files somewhere, so shouldn't I be able to find them, download them, and not have to use an interface like PhpMyAdmin?
On BlueHost ask them to give you an export of SQL File of your database.
If you go the management panel and find MySQL (Database Software) where WordPress database files are stored.
But its best to install plugins like Wordpress DB backup in your WordPress and then use that plugin to download a backup of the database file. That may be easier for you considering you are a non-technical user.

Is there possible if the website is built on WordPress and hosted on domain (example.com) and if I want to create one landing page which should be built with HTML/CSS but will be the host on same subdomain (example.com/example)? if yes how to do it?
You can install WordPress in the example folder and it will run quite happily from there without interfering with what's in the top-level. Just have to make sure that the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) in the General Settings include the folder too - ie, http://example.com/example
As a proof of concept, have a look at https://www.pad-fairs.com - the top-level index is a stand-alone index.php file (but could be .html - I just use php to change the date order of the links) and each of the 3 sub sites are separate installs of WordPress in their own folders.
Hope that helps

Let's say I have a website with some content in it:
<p> Here is my content </p>
When administrator logs in, he wishes to edit this content. Which programming/designing tools should I use to add this feature?
You would need some kind of dynamic language. Something like PHP, Python or similar. This would give you the tools to build a secure area for an administrator to log in and make edits. You'd then need to use this language to write some function to display the pages, create the URLs, update menus etc etc.
You would also need some kind of database like MySQL or PostgreSQL for instance to store the content of the pages.
All in all it doesn't seem like a worthwhile idea to roll your own script for this. We have a saying in web development - "don't reinvent the wheel". Wordpress would be my recommendation for you. It's not my favourite CMS but it is incredibly well documented - for beginners in particular - and it'll give you everything you need to get going. It also has an option were an administrator could log in and then use the front end of the site and just click edit when they want to make a change to the page they're on.
For editing content and enabling user login you can use PHP. You can code your own site/blog or you can use scripts that already exists. You should read more about PHP / MySQL on w3schools or some similar site.
Things you should learn that I recommend you :
PHP
mySql
Wordpress
Visit w3schools.com for more details about PHP and MySQL.
Storage. Normally, you will need to have DB where you will store all the date, user access details, e.t.c. Sure, this can be done via text files (html, xml, txt e.t.c.) but this doesn't make much sense.
Editing You need some kind of editor if you don't want your administrator to edit plain HTML. You can try any of WYSIWYG editors.
All other things You might need in the future other things connected to editing (save labels, use keywords, insert images e.t.c) - all of this is already done in any CMS.
According to all of this info I would suggest you to take on of ready-to-use CMS which can hold all of these features from scratch (e.g. WordPress, Joomla or any other).
