Creating your Homepage

  • Open Netscape or Mozilla
  • Select New-->Composer Page from the File Menu
  • Select a Heading from the pulldown menu (the default is Body Text. I suggest Heading 1 or 2.)
  • Give your page a name. Hit Return. The pulldown menu should revert to Body Text.
  • Enter your name and homepage address.
  • From the Format menu, choose Page Title and Properties. Give your page a title. This is not the filename, but the name which will appear in the Title Bar of a web browser.
  • From the File Menu, choose Save. (You may also use the Save icon in the toolbar)
  • Save your page as index.html onto a portable medium (disk/drive).

To keep everything in order, you should keep the same directory structure on your removable disk/drive as you have on the server. It may be helpful to put your new index.html file inside a new folder on your disk. The contents of that folder will go into your public_html "folder" on the server. This will help with linking.
