How To Build A Web Site For FREE
A free How To Guide from 'The Web Surfer's Rest Stop'
(This Guide best viewed in Full Color with monitor settings at 800x600 dpi)
Have you just signed up with a new Internet provider who has just given you free Meg. space on their server but you don't know a lick about creating a web page? Or maybe you have had your Internet account for some time now and know about that free space your provider has reserved for you but just don't think you can learn how to put it all together?
As most Internet Providers today offer from 2Meg. to 20Meg. of free space for you to set up a Personel Home Page, there is still a lot of that free space vaccant!
Than you are who I have written these next few pages for.
Now I'm not about to write a book to try and teach anyone how to write HTML. My point is to show some paths you can take to teach your self how to use that free web space you are already paying for. And if you follow my plan, it won't cost you a single cent! Chances are, you already have all you need on your computer already.
Still think it's "too beyond your knowlege of computers"? Trust me when I say that the worst that can happen is you learn something about that big, expensive, complicated "investment" you are sitting in front of right now. And as for the monthly bill you are already paying, well here's your BANG for your Buck!
And, if your provider charges you for connect time, then just download these pages and work on it off line. To download just click below for these pages in a zipped, self installing file named "freeweb.exe". Unzip this file to your "Temp" directory and run it, this will install all pages and files to C:\freeweb
(No hidden files, No .DLLs, No exectables, just Text, HTML, a couple Pics, and .class files to get you started).
Then, off line, open C:\freeweb\freeweb.html inside your browser to return to this page.

Speed= Don't blink!
As I am not selling anything or attempting to advertise for any one, you may copy or distribute these pages anyway you desire. I would however appreciate if you leave my site's link in place and.......possibly a link on your new web site?
When you do finally register your URL with your Internet Provider, think of it as your little piece of real estate on the World Wide Web!
Now let's get started. I've broken the plan down into the following steps:
1) The Tools (includes a section on basic "toolbars" - for the absolute beginner)
2) Basic Understanding of HTML
3) Some Advanced Things You Can Do (includes a section on Java applets)
4) Get Your Pages On The Web!
5) Index {Resource Links}
And don't think you have to have some big hi-tech super system to build your own web site. All I'm using is a second hand Packard Bell PC, 120Hz processor, 2Gig hard drive, 88Meg of RAM, and a sticky key board with half the letters worn off; and that's over kill for a tiny freebie web site like mine! Heck, I don't even own a scanner (but my brother at Wildwood.com does).
If any of that was "Greek" to you than visit What Is.com (your on-line dictionery to the Internet and computer)
So if this sounds like something you'd like to look into, or if perhaps you just wonder if it can be done, let me suggest moving on to: Section 1 "The Tools"
