Prep (copy this page) : Your
dial-up account includes web space, and we provide a way to manage
your web pages with your browser. We recommend you read this entire
page before starting. In fact, when you do the next step, this
screen will dissappear, so either read ahead, print this page,
copy this text to an editor, or open a new browser window to do
these steps.
Getting
Started : Click the "Account Review" link at the
top of this page. On the next page, click "Dialup Customer Access."
You will then be on a page with a frame across the top where
you can type your user ID and password (the same as you log
on with) and choose from several options. Click the button that
says "Edit Web." You will get the message that you don't have
a web site but that you can create one. The page explains that
there are some starter templates you can pick. You can preview
them before you choose. One is a single page with your name
on it! (Note that some "Business" templates include the request
form with your email address already filled in.) Once you pick
a template and click "Create My Site," you will be on a page
headlined "SiteMgr."
SiteMgrŠ
: SiteMgr provides the tools you need. Study it
a little, and before long you'll be creating pages, deleting
pages, editing pages, uploading pages, etc. Have fun! If SiteMgr
doesn't do what it says, let
us know on our support form. You could develop your pages
off line and use the upload feature if you have a development
package that improves on simple text editing. Use up to 10 Mbytes
storage. (If your site is popular and traffic exceeds about
50 Mbyte / month, we'll probably suggest the next web package
up.)
First
Page : The first page in your site is usually called
index.htm. That page will be displayed if a visitor simply enters
"web.spsp.net/yourid/" into the Location window. That page can
be renamed index.html, welcome.htm, or welcome.html. (It can
also be index.shtml or welcome.shtml if you want the server
to parse your page to include other files.)
MailForm
: Although you won't be able to use cgi (perl, php, asp,
etc.) processing in general, there is a "mailform" you can use
that will accept input from a user and e-mail it back to you.
It is placed into your site initially if you pick one of the
Business starter page sets, or you can grab it from our site
by clicking the Web Members folder, then Web Tools, then Mail
Form (sample form). In either case, it is quite customizable.
(And in the latter case, you'll have to customize it to get
your email address into it.)
