How to make your own Home Page

1. Contact Tim Anderson (webmaster@bae.uga.edu), and he will create a directory for you, as well as activate the link for you on the graduate student list.

2. The WWW uses the Hyper Text Markup Language, HTML.There are several ways of authoring HTML pages. You can do one of the following:
   • A Beginner's Guide to HTML - NSCA's classic guide is a good tutorial, and a great reference sheet. What every WWW beginner needs to write her/his first document.

   • We maintain our own archive of frequently-used icons (and other inline images, such as lines, etc.) in the department. If you need more icons etc, try the Icons page at Yahoo.

   • Pattern Land is an excellent source of all kinds of different backgrounds that you can use. For other kinds of complex imaging requirements, check out the Imaging Machine.

   • Make Your Own Home Page is a simple form/cgi script that generates HTML code based on inputs to the form.

   • When you feel the need for more advanced HTML, use the WWW Authoring Page at Yahoo.

   • Finally, asking more experienced computer types is always a good place to start!
