Editing your homepage
Your homepage is the first page that comes up when you go to your website
eg. http://jessefiddler.myknet.org
In order to have your homepage to show up automatically when you go to
your site or any directory in your site, you need to have your homepage
called index.html or index.htm . If there is no index page then it displays
a list of the files and folders in your website. So for people to view
your website properly make sure that you have an index.html file. You
can do this one of two ways:
1. Use the Homepage editor
When you use the homepage editor, it automatically creates and overwrites
the previous index.html file on your account. If you have both an index.html
and an index.htm file on your account, the index.html that the Homepage
editor makes takes precedence.

2. Create your homepage yourself
You can create a webpage on your own computer by using an webpage
editor like Dreamweaver, Frontpage, Netscape or any other number of webpage
editors.
Download your webpage to your computer.
If already have a homepage on your website, you can save that page to
your computer. Here's how:
Visit your webpage and then from the File Menu, Select Save As. Select a
folder on your computer to save it in and click Save.
Now you can open the webpage within the the webpage editor of your
choice

After you edit your webpage on your computer, you will have to upload
it to your website to replace your existing homepage.
Upload your homepage
You can upload your homepage from your computer to your web account
by using our on-line File Manager or using an FTP program. Some webpage
editors have a FTP program built into them. FTP stands for File Transfer
Protocol. It is a way of copying/transferring file betweem computer on
the Internet.
