Create Your Own web Site:
There are web sites that give away free personal web sites such as www.freehosting.com and www.infinityfree.com.
These sites have instructions on how to create HTML files and set up a website. You should also buy a beginner's book on how to create HTML files.
Word for Windows can be used for creating HTML files. Take any Word document, select "File", select "Save As", select file type "HTML", enter file name "index" (or any other name if it's not the main page), then select "OK" to save.
Every page (every folder) of your web site should have an HTML file titled "index.htm" because the file titled "index.htm" will open automatically when someone goes to that page.
HTML files can be viewed, edited and/or created with any text editor such as Windows Notepad. If you are using Notepad to create an HTML file, simply change the extension from ".txt" to ".htm" when you are ready to upload it to your site.
When on the internet, the source file for any web page can be viewed by selecting "File" then selecting "View Source". Try viewing the source files of my web pages. My HTML source files are fairly simple. When you see the string "A HREF=", what follows is a link to another page or another file. When you see the string "IMG SRC=", what follows is the file name of a photo that opens up on the same page. "P" starts a new paragraph. "BR" starts a new line.
You will need an "FTP upload program" (File Transfer Protocol) to transfer your files to your web site. You can get a free copy of WS_FTPLE.exe (Limited Edition) from the creator www.ipswitch.com or you can click on the link below.
Click here to download the WS_FTPLE.exe program.
A window will open asking you where you would like to save the file. Choose a directory, and then click Save. Find the folder on your hard drive where the software was saved, and double-click on WS_FTPLE.EXE. The file will automatically expand into a set of install files. Double-click on INSTALL.EXE and follow the onscreen instructions to install the program. When prompted for a local destination directory for file transfers, select the directory in which you normally save your HTML files.
Double-click on the WS_FTP icon (or WS_FTP95.exe) to launch the FTP upload program. A "Session Profile" dialog window will open. Select "Personal Web Pages" for Profile Name. In the "Host Name" box, enter your internet provider's Host Name. Comcast's host name is "upload.comcast.net". For "Host Type" enter "UNIX (standard)" or "auto-detect". Enter your username and password (given by your internet provider). Be sure to use all lower-case characters for your username and the appropriate upper and lower-case characters for your password.
The left window pane will show the files on your hard drive. If the files you want to upload do not appear, locate the appropriate directory on your hard drive by navigating to it or clicking on the "ChgDir" button on the top left.
In the right window pane, you will see the contents of your internet web page. If you would like to create subdirectories, click on the "MkDir" button on the right (or similar device in other programs).
Select the file(s) you wish to upload. To select several files at once, hold down the [Ctrl] key and click once on each file you wish to move. Click on the right-pointing arrow button to upload the files. Click on the left-pointing arrow to download files (if desired) back to your personal computer.
