Suggestions for sites that host html webpages

[atikovi]

For the last 8 years I’ve used Google Sites to host webpages of cars I’m selling, but as of this month they have changed their format to eliminate html documents so they are useless to me. Any suggestions for an alternative where I can cut and paste an html document and turn it into a webpage with an address I can post online so anyone can see it? Here is an example of one of my pages but I’m not sure anyone else can see it as of Sept. 1st: https://sites.google.com/site/atikovi2020/home/2001-honda-insight (It's already been sold)

This.

Also, Wordpress has a free tier where you can host your site and the Wordpress authoring environment should be easy enough to acclimatize to: Wordpress powers about a third of global internet web sites and there are tutorials and communities everywhere you look.

What does that mean and how does that translate to a webpage? This is a small sample of the html for that webpage linked above:

Fully Serviced! Grid Charger Included! Excellent Bridgestone RE92 Tires! Looks SHARP!







This is a 2001 Honda Insight Hybrid finished in Monte Carlo Blue with the gray interior. It’s powered by a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain (hence the name Hybrid) consisting of an all aluminum 1.0 liter 3 cylinder VTEC-E gas engine coupled to a battery powered electric motor known as the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). Power is then routed to a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic transmission that eliminates conventional shifts to provide silky smooth seamless acceleration that no other transmission, either manual or conventional automatic, can match, without any of the power loss of a conventional automatic and nearly identical fuel economy as a manual transmission model. This powertrain combined with a light weight body, excellent aerodynamics and numerous gas saving features, allows the Insight CVT to get 60 mpg in normal driving and can top 70 mpg without much effort.



If you are already familiar with the Insight, you may want to skip over the next few paragraphs that give a comprehensive and detailed overview of the car, and go straight to the pictures and description. And it’s best to view the listing on a desktop or laptop computer. A smart phone won’t give you the same details.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE HONDA INSIGHT A hybrid powertrain combines the best features of two different propulsion systems into one integrated seamless powerplant. An internal combustion engine produces little power and torque at idle and low engine speeds but greater power as the RPMs increase. An electric motor on the other hand puts out its maximum torque at ZERO rpm. What that means is you can utilize the maximum torque output of the electric motor when accelerating from a stop, and the greater power output of the gas engine at higher RPMs for cruising at highway speeds, or any combination of both at speeds in between, to optimize both acceleration and fuel economy. Additional benefits of this system are regenerative braking that makes use of energy that other cars waste while braking and coasting by recharging the battery pack, and engine cut-off at stop lights when other cars are wasting gas idling. The Insight’s layout consists of a 10-killowatt 22-pound thin electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission to boost the car’s performance when needed. During coasting and braking the motor also serves as a generator (a.k.a. regenerative braking) to recharge a 144 volt nickel-metal hydride battery pack located behind the seats. Think of this IMA system as a supercharger that provides additional performance without using much energy, and in fact, because it recovers the Insight’s momentum to recharge the battery pack, it’s more efficient than any supercharger could ever be. The engine doesn’t have an alternator. The IMA keeps the high voltage battery pack charged and an inverter powers most 12 volt electricals including keeping the 12V battery charged, which itself is mainly used just to power up the IMA control modules when you first turn the key. The other key component of this Insight Hybrid’s powertrain is the optional automatic transmission. It uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that instead of having individual gears, has a steel belt between two variable diameter pulleys to transfer torque through a wide range of “gear” ratios. The CVT has a low starting “gear” ratio that provides brisk acceleration from a stoplight, while a high top “gear” ratio allows for effortless highway cruising and excellent fuel economy. In fact, at 60 mph, the engine is only turning at 2,200 rpm, which is very low for such a small engine and which contributes to the excellent gas mileage. It has a DRIVE/SPORT switch on the steering wheel which lets you choose between normal DRIVE mode and SPORT mode in which the transmission selects a wider range of ratios to give better acceleration. The Insight Hybrid has a few other tweaks to save fuel including an extensive use of composite and aluminum body panels and inner structural components, aerodynemic rear wheel fender skirts, smooth profile and light weight aluminum wheels, special tires that reduce rolling resistance, a mini front air dam and rear spoiler along with numerous underbody panels which give the car a drag coefficient of just 0.25 (one of the lowest of any production car), electrically assisted power steering that reduces parasitic losses on the engine, and probably the best feature, an idle shutoff mode called Auto Stop that turns off the engine as you come to a stop and provides you with an eerie silence at most every traffic light. Quite soothing after a long day at the office. The IMA automatically restarts the engine the instant you take your foot off the brake. The IMA starts the engine most of the time, and in fact, you may go for years without ever using the conventional 12 volt starter. About the only time the 12V starter is used is if the IMA battery is discharged from the car sitting a few months. When you combine all these features with a low curb weight of under 2,000 pounds, the Insight CVT earns an EPA mileage rating of 57/56 MPG city/highway. The highest of any automatic transmission car out there. And those numbers are obtained in a lab under simulated driving conditions. You can do a bit better with just a minor adjustment to your driving style. I have gotten 67 mpg over a 200 mile highway ride and 61 mpg on a 1,200 mile road trip without any special driving maneuvers other than keeping the speed around 60 mph. And if you practice any hypermiling techniques, you can get even higher figures, with some owners reporting breaking the 80 mpg mark. (Disclaimer: YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.) Combined with the Insight’s 10.6 gallon fuel tank, it’s hard not to get at least 500 miles between fill-ups. Not only is the Insight economical to drive, it’s also economical to maintain. Most systems have low or reduced maintenance components. For example, instead of a timing belt that needs periodic replacement, the Insight engine uses a steel timing chain that should last the life of the car. It uses iridium tipped spark plugs with 105,000 mile service intervals, extended life coolant with a 120,000 mile service interval, and a fuel filter that never needs servicing. The oil capacity for the small 1.0 liter engine is just 3 quarts so even full synthetic oil changes are under $30. And the Insight has a Maintenance Required indicator system that illuminates a light on the dash when routine service is due. A car driven primarily on the highway requires less maintenance than one subject to city use with constant stopping and starting. While the Insight doesn’t cost much to drive or maintain, it’s also well built and very reliable. It’s not unusual to see these cars going strong with mileages over 300,000 miles. There are a few dozen that have topped 400K miles, a handful that hit the half million mile mark and there is reportedly an owner that uses the car in his courier business that has over 600,000 miles. The biggest concern to many new Insight buyers is the battery pack. In reality, there is little reason to worry too much about the battery pack wearing out on an Insight. First of all, unlike other Hybrids like Toyota’s Prius where the battery is integral to the powertrain, such that if it quits the car is undriveable, on the Insight, that is not an issue. The Insight battery pack can be disconnected and the car driven indefinitely in that condition. Remember, the Integrated Motor Assist is just an assist, like a supercharger. In steady highway driving and other driving situations that don’t require lots of power, you would be hard pressed to tell that there was anything unusual if the battery was disconnected, and the gas mileage would be nearly identical as with the battery connected. The only situation where mileage might drop is in city driving where the Auto Stop feature would be disabled, and even then, the reduction in mileage would be minimal. After all, it’s still a 1.0 liter powered sub 2,000 pound aerodynamic car. In fact, it’s quite common for owners of Insights in less than nice condition where it’s not worth spending much money on, i.e., with body damage or other mechanical issues, that have a bad battery pack to just disconnect it instead of spending the money on a new battery pack, and keep driving it like always. For those that do want to replace the battery pack, there are far better aftermarket replacements available that cost much less than a Honda pack. In addition, since it’s not the ENTIRE battery pack that goes bad but individual cells within the pack, you can replace just those bad cells. And this car is equipped with a grid charger and charger port, details of which are mentioned further in the description, which extends battery pack life considerably. As to the battery pack in this car, I don’t know it’s age or when it was replaced, but it works excellent and feels very strong. It has never set an IMA code or Check Engine Light which indicates it’s still healthy. The first generation Insight was a radical new design for Honda, and one that turns heads going down the road and prompts many questions from passersby at the mall or in the supermarket parking lot. If you’re the least bit shy, don’t buy this car! I warn you. It’s still a fresh design for most people since few have even seen it close up. With only about 4,000 sold the first year (which is about how many Civics are sold in just one week), and a total of 17,000 made for the entire seven year production run from 2000 to 2006, it’s a rare car to see on the road. If you’re tired of driving the same boring cookie cutter designed car that everyone else is driving, this car may be for you. If you are into being green, then besides getting great gas mileage, the Insight is one of the few cars certified by CARB (California Air Resources Board) to be a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV). And you don’t give up anything in comfort and room with the Insight. Headroom and legroom is plenty for all but the tallest basketball players and there is no claustrophobic feeling like you get in some other small cars. Driving it is also no different as it accelerates and merges into traffic with ease and keeps up with 75-80 mph highway speeds without breaking a sweat. In many states, the Insight may be eligible for numerous perks such as being able to drive alone in the HOV carpool lanes without a passenger, being exempt from annual emissions inspections, free or reduced parking rates at downtown or airport parking lots, etc. Check your state or local government for more details. Its exterior style is very unique, combining sleek form with aerodynamic function. From its stylish lines and sweeping curves, it incorporates numerous design elements to create a look that is like no other car on the road. From the slightly bulging headlights up front, to the bright finish aerodynamic profile wheels and fender skirts on the sides, to a roof mounted euro style shorty antenna up top and to a two window rear hatch in the back, it looks futuristic from any angle without being flashy. But if you like high tech design, you will really like the interior. Observe the electroluminescent style instrument cluster with displays for instant, average and long term fuel mileage. Touch the small diameter dimpled grip steering wheel that fits your hands perfectly and has control buttons for the transmission DRIVE and SPORT modes. Admire the two-tone sport weave fabric on the seats and door panels. Try the buttons and switches and notice the precise soft-touch feel as they are engaged. Not only are the colors elegant but all the textures have a rich feel and look. From the perforations on the steering wheel, the graining pattern on the dash and door panels, or the layout of knobs and switches on the dash, everything looks and feels like it came from a more expensive car.

Thanks, this is an excellent suggestion! That may actually work for what I need except how do I make it fit the entire screen side to side. I used the example in post #1 to get this: https://sites.google.com/view/atikovi2015new/home/2001-honda-insight but you constantly have to scroll right and left at the bottom of the screen to see the entire page.

I would not copy and paste all of that business into the page builder of Google Sites as an HTML embed: You'll spend less time just constructing the page(s) from scratch - copying/ pasting the actual text, formatting the lists and inserting the images - than you would having to undo the code that is forcing the extra width (most especially the "?width=1280&height=1024&fit=bounds" after each and every JPG image from Photobucket).

If you really have to copy and paste the HTML code into an embedded section of the Google Sites page builder I would first try to either remove that code snippet from after the ".jpg" file extension or - if Photobucket mandates size attributes be present, try a small width and maybe leave the height attribute blank so as not to mess with the images' aspect ratio.

For 150+ pictures? Besides, I use the html version directly in my Ebay listing with no such issue.
