Sundry Asked Questions


How do I set up my personal home page?

If you do not know HTML (HyperText Markup Language) there are editors and programs (such as Microsoft Word, Adobe PageMill, Macromedia's Dream Weaver, Netscape's Composer etc.) that will do a reasonable job for you. (In most cases these HTML generators do not write tight code.) Alternatively, you can learn basic HTML. Don't be put off by the long-winded name - it really is very simple - and quite "empowering" ;)

You will also need an image manipulation program such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.

After you've created your HTML documents, you need to upload them to your home directory. First, make sure you've named your main page index.html. Then, open up your FTP program (usually WSFTP for Windows, and Fetch for Mac) and connect to the host ftp.sarasa.net with your username (NOT "anonymous") and your ftp password (not your email password). Leave the Directory field blank, and you will be put into your own directory. After you put all your html and image files in your directory, you can go to your web browser and look at your page. Your web address will be:

http://www.yourdomain.com (or "net", or "org", as the case may be).

Tips for Mac users: When you upload files in Fetch you have to choose what format to upload in. For the HTML files you should choose TEXT. For image files choose RAW DATA.

In some versions of Fetch, you cannot upload a folder by clicking the Put button to the right of the file listing box. You have to choose Put Folders and Files... from the Remote menu.
