Want to set up a web page, but don't know where to start? Perhaps a little baffled by HTML? Help is on the way! There are several blank pages available that can serve as guidelines or hints. You can edit an example page to form your very own home page, or you can just compare it to get some ideas.

There is also a library of graphic images you can use to liven up your web documents.

How do I work this?

View one of the templates with your web browser, and use the Save As item on the File menu at the top of the window, then set the save format to HTML, and save the HTML file in a local directory of yours. You probably want to save it as index.html in your public_html subdirectory. If you're on the acpub system, check the instructions for local web pages.

You can then use an editor such as pico or emacs to change the contents of the template as you wish. Voila! Instant home page.
