Here are the basic steps you must take to get your home page up on WingNET's server. WingNET provides only minimal support for user and business home pages. If you have questions related to HTML, search the web to find the vast amount of resources already available there or check in the Links Section of Technical Support. If, however, you have a question that is specifically related to your WingNET account, please do not hesitate to contact Technical Support at support@wingnet.net.

1. Notify the WingNET webmaster via e-mail that you intend to set up a home page (webmaster@wingnet.net).
2. Use an HTML editor of your choice (Anything from an ASCII editor to a full-featured editor such as WebEdit, FrontPage, etc. You can find some suggestions in the "Helpful Links" section of Technical Support ) to create your home page. The main page should be named "index.html." However, on DOS/Windows machines, this will actually save as "index.htm" (minus the "l") due to the 8-dot-3 filename limitation. You can use Netscape Navigator to view your home page file locally while you are developing it.
3. Obtain and install an FTP program from the Internet. Suggestions include WS_FTP, CuteFTP, or any other FTP client of your choice. You can find links to the two listed here at the "Helpful Links" section of Technical Support.
4. FTP to "ftp.wingnet.net" using your login name and password instead of the traditional "anonymous" and "e-mail address". This will place you in your own home directory.
5. Using the FTP program's "Create a directory" feature, create a directory called "public_html" (exactly as it appears here). No uppercase letters should be used.
6. Change directories into the public_html directory.
7. Upload your main home page (and accompanying graphics or sub-pages) into this directory.
8. Use the "Rename" feature of the FTP program to rename your main page to "index.html" instead of the "index.htm" (see #2). All other HTML files should end in the .html extension also.
9. Use your web browser to view your links by using this address format:
   
   http://www.wingnet.net/~loginname (Note the tilde symbol "~" before your login name.)
10. After your home page is set up, contact webmaster@wingnet.net in order to have your page listed on the User Pages link.
