Moving in- I've got my site but want to move in now . How do I do that ?

The easiest way is by going to the File Manager it will ask you for your user name and password that was e-mailed to you when you signed up for your new web page. Once inside your file manager area check mark the file index.html. You have three choices for a file editor you want to start off with the basic editor. If the basic editor is not showing in the box change it so it does then click on the Edit button. :^) Follow the instructions given and your front page will be set up in no time! Note: your front page must always be called index.html <--all lower case for it to work.

Geo's Zine- is a site devoted to showing you how to use the 3 Geocities editors: Basic Editor, EZ editor , and the advanced editor. This site has step-by-step tutorials on each. A really good way to learn exactly what they do.:^)

 You may also use the Geo builder Geocities newest tool for those first starting to build there home page.:^)

Graphics and Pictures- I have a graphic or picture on my computer I want to put it on my page. How do I do that?

Geocities has a great feature called EZupload to see if your browser is updated enough to use this wonderful tool go to your file manager area and either click on the highlighted text that says EZ upload or scroll down to the bottom of your file area. If you can see the "browse" buttons then your browser is a new enough version to use this tool. If not here is a handy link that shows you how to FTP your pic or graphics the old fashioned way.:^) If you are using Netscape or Internet Explorer I would suggest upgrading your browser so you can use EZ upload as FTP can be a little confusing at first.:^)

EZ upload- This simple tool will make uploading pic,graphic music, HTML and htm files a breeze! just click on the "Browse" button and find the file you wish to upload to your file area click on it and hit the upload button . Whalla! your file is now uploaded and you can now put it where you like on your page.:^)

Web TV- Since webtver's are not able to download Geocities has set up FREE image library for you to use.

HTML- I'm new to this HTML coding stuff and know nothing where can I go to learn how to make my site?

-I really do recommend checking out this HTML help site in Athens.:^) This is how I learned like you I knew nothing about HTML at all ! If you have a printer then print out the pages there so you can reference them as you build your new home on the web. It's real easy once you get the hang of it. Other places I recommend are :

-Taking a free HTML course at Heartland University this is an on-line course for HTML 101 the instructors are great and very patient. Which really helps when you don't know a .gif from a .wav file .:^) There are other courses as well being offered for the more advanced web site owners so go check it out !

My picture or graphic won't show up?

- All files are very case sensitive . For example : DOG.gif dog.gif dog.GIF are all different files as far as the web is concerned. Go to your your File manager and write down the exact spelling and case setting of your file on a piece of paper . When entering the file name in you editing area make sure you enter it the same as it is in your file manager area. It is good practice when using the EZ upload to click the box the says to change all file names to lower case. This saves allot of going back and forth to check what case setting your file is actually in when editing your page.:^)

I found this great site with free graphics but I don't know how to get them to put them on my site?

- There are loads of great people out there who love to make graphics and let those with personal home pages use them for free. Please consider the hard work they have put into them and place a link on your site to them . This is only common courtesy.:^)

-To get the graphic click on it with your right mouse button and choose" save as " This will allow you to save the pic or graphic to your hard drive. Write down what folder you have saved your pic or graphic in . Now all you have to do is upload it to your site and put it on your page.:^)
