I doubt many readers of this forum would feel able to comment on a site written in Farsi.

One of the links is broken, by the way.

Yes, the third one, the middle one?
yes.
But the site seems to have a long delay to open, right?

I enter the URL egmchess.com/admin, but get an HTTP 404 error. What to do about it? I never access the administrator page before.
I guess the siteis in Joomla.

I even tried to find a free web hosting site so theat I could place an HTML code there, but I couldn't find anything appropriate. Do you know any?

This is really not forum relevant Soheil and the never ending questions are getting a bit much too be honest.

In answer to your question about free websites and writing your own html, I have had the same question and received this comment from Paolo Casischi in a private message some time ago:
For a demo site I used http://heliohost.org for a while, not too bad and free.
I took up his suggestion and it enabled me to get a site up and working, is free and does allow a lot of freedom in the way your site can be used. I have now moved the site elsewhere because the server was not robust and there were a lot of crashes. That might have been bad luck when I was using it. They have two different servers called Johnny and something else that I have forgotten. You want to choose the one that is less up-to-date as this is intended to be more stable: the other is intended to have more recent software updates and greater facilities for experimental work, but at the possible (and actual) cost of stability.

Carl, I take on board that this is not an appropriate place for web design questions, but I hope you accept that Soheil is a genuine member of our community and that occasionally conversation strays to other things. As I had something to offer, I've replied.
