making tarballs

[Tim Wilson <wilson@chemsun.chem.umn.edu>]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to make a tarball of an entire website that I've been working
on, but I can't get the correct options set. I've read the man page, but
I'm still missing something. So, let's say you've got a directory full of
files and a number of subdirectories. What command would you use to create
a tarball and gzip it? Thanks.

-Tim
