Creating your own Web Page
Creating your own web pages is fairly easy...the easiest way is to copy someone else's page and edit it for your own tastes. The more difficult way would be to create your own from scratch. I recommend the first option because it's easier...then when you start to get a bit fluent in html you can create your own.

Setting up your own Web Page on Surfari Internet
Surfari Internet has given the users the ability to have their own Web Page(s). You are basically limited by the amount of storage space you have on your personal drive directory.

Create Your Web Page
First create a Web page and call it index.html (if you are using an IBM-PC running DOS or WIN31, you'll have to call it index.htm, upload it to the system, then rename it to index.html).

Create your directory
You'll store your Web page(s) in a directory called 'public_html', which has already been created for you by those wonderful people at SURFARI.

Upload your Web page(s)
Upload your index.html page to your public_html directory and you are in business. One of the easiest ways to do this is to use an 'FTP' program, one of the more popular ones is WS_FTP or CUTE FTP. When you have an 'FTP' program, just log into your account (drive space) and copy the files over. You can also get some guidance from the FTP Help page by clicking HERE

Accessing your Web page(s)
To access your Web page, specifically your index.html, point your web browser to http://www.surfari.net/~name/. Where name is the name of your account. The Web Browser will look in the public_html directory for a file called index.html and load it.
