Planning Your Home Page

This is perhaps one of the most important steps in creating a home page because, either in your head or on paper, you are deciding what your page will look like and how you want to present it.

This can be as involved as drawing out a logical map of what connections you want, or as simple as sitting down and collecting your thoughts for what you want this page to be.

First, and foremost, consider what it is you want to put on your page. Common things to put on a page include:

• A list of links to the pages
• Information about your web site
• Information about the pages you have
• Other miscellaneous things

Getting Everything You Will Need.

The tools required to setup a home page are:

• Your Existing PPP Software
• An Editor of Your Choice (Text or HTML)
• An FTP Client

HTML Editors

You need to format your page using plain ASCII text. You create effects like bold, italics, and other effects like headings, etc, by using HTML tags. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.

FTP Clients

This is the software you will need to transport your web page(s) to Remote Site.

Create Your Home Page

Uploading Web Page(s)

This is the easy part and you're almost there.

1. Name your main page index.html.
2. Now you will want to switch to the FTP Client you had previously setup. You will now create a connection to client.visuallink.com with the following settings:
   
   • Hostname: 66.84.76.3 or www.xyz.com
   • Username: (Your username)
   • Password: (Your password)

Most of the recommended FTP clients work with the familiar drag-and-drop method of copying files. After bringing up your created home page on the 'local' side of the screen, you will simply 'drag' it over into your directory on the remote side.

• 
  
  Copy the files to your web directory. You must put them in your web directory on client.
• 
  
  Once your pages are uploaded to your home directory, you should (if you need to), rename the file with single extension .html.

Testing out Your Site

After successfully uploading your page, it will be located at the URL:

• http://www.xyz.com
