If you would
like to create a homepage, we suggest that you download
the homepage template.
The homepage template will need to be edited with a text editor, such
as notepad for windows or simpletext for the macintosh.
Homepages can
get very complex and you may want to download homepage editors to
help you design your homepage. Some of these homepage programs are:
Once you've
designed your HTML and maybe some graphics, you can upload your files
to LiSP. If you would like to add your page to a search engine, what
you have to do is visit the search engines, and they will have a link
to "Add
your URL".

your Homepage
Have you just

Pwd saves you from having to type the password in, if you use FTP
alot, but it's not recommended, because if someone else is using your
computer, they can gain access to your home directory.
Once you are
connected, you will have a directory called public_html
on the remote side (right hand side). You need todouble click on that
to open it. On the left side, change to the directory that you saved
your homepage/images. Select all of them, and click on the arrow
--> to send them to LiSP. Your main file, which you want to come
up, when someone has a look at your homepage, should be called
"index.html". (of course, without the quotation marks).
Once you've uploaded and renamed the appropriate files, you can test
to see if you've done it right, by pointing your Web Browser to http://www.lisp.com.au/~username
