Your
First Web Site here at NetRunner |
So you've roamed the web and now
YOU want your own site...where to begin?
It seems daunting at first, but it's rather easy. (The
only hard part is doing something that isn't :o) crap! ).
Assuming that isn't an issue (all NetRunner customers are
instantly granted supreme, [though perhaps dormant,]
webmanship the instant your account is created), you must
first learn HTML and web graphics. That's easy! Go buy a
book! Do not under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES call the Webmaster
and ask questions about placing images or making lists or
linking pages. It is in my contract that I may tease and
ridicule any customer that calls with an HTML question
that can be easily solved with a few minutes of research.
With some 3000 customers...I simply don't have the
time...save me for the "big" stuff...
There are a number of pages in our Webs section. Study
them. Visit the Hyperlinks.
Once you've completed your first work it's time to
transfer it to our system. Here's what you do:
- Connect
to NetRunner
- Open
up your FTP client (either WS-FTP or Fetch)
- Connect
to ftp.netrunner.net using your username
and password
- You
will be placed in your "home"
directory. Look for a subdirectory called public_html
- If
you see it, move into it...if not create one,
then move into it.
- Following
the instructions supplied with your client,
transfer the first page that you want people to
see. If is not already so named, rename it index.html.
- You
may now continue to transfer graphics and pages.
Congratulations,
you now have a Website!
A few
pointers from the Webmaster
- Make
sure that you upload *.htm or *.html as ASCII!
- Make
sure that you upload any graphics as BINARY!
- If
you have broken images make sure that they have
the same name in the HTML as they appear in the
directory. An image called as image.GIF which
appears in the directory as image.gif will be
broken.
Good Luck
and Have Fun...Remember this is HTML it ain't Rocket
Science!
