 How to create your web page
- Web pages are written in a language called HTML. If you are not familiar with the
HTML language, don't worry. There are editors which will allow you to create your
web page interactively. Here are some good editors:
Netscape Communicator - The Netscape Composer which comes with Netscape Communicator is an easy to use editor for writing web pages.
Microsoft's Front Page - Microsoft's HTML editor
Your main page must be called index.html (or index.htm if your system
doesn't allow long file names).
If you want to learn the HTML language and develop professional pages you can find
the complete HTML manual
at www.w3.org
- You will need some graphic tools to design the graphics for your page.
Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop would be good choices.
There are good shareware tools as well, try Paint Shop Pro.
- You might want to search the Internet for some image galleries rather than
scanning/creating your own graphics.
- After you have designed your web page you need to upload it to our server.
The good HTML editors, like Netscape Gold, have upload/publish features.
Also, you can use any FTP program to upload your web pages.
You will find some upload instructions at your webpage location (usually
it would be http://users.gekko.net/~username). If your personal
web page doesn't exist yet please contact webmaster@gekko.net.
If you have your own domain, please check your home page
http://www.yourdomain.com for instructions on uploading.
If your web site doesn't come up, please check if
your domain name is registered.
If you have any questions please e-mail
webmaster@gekko.net.
