Hello World

You might need your mom's or dad's help completing this lesson.

This assignment doesn't require a specially formatted Web page: simply typing out "hello world" in a empty file named "index.html" and saving it in the File Manager will do nicely.

So the hardest part is creating the Web site (through Yahoo!), and then finding out how to overwrite the default Homepage.

  1. First, get a Yahoo! mail account at mail.yahoo.com.
  2. Next, go to: geocities.com;
  3. Choose "Get a site for free!"; and
  4. ...answer the three registration questions.
  5. Go to geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager.
  6. Select "index.htm, and click on "Delete".
  7. Click on "Delete Files".
  8. Click on "New" and you are in the HTML Editor.
  9. Now let's edit: between "<body>" and "</body>", type "Hello world!"
  10. Replace "Untitled" with "Hello World".
  11. Click on "Save" to save your changes.
  12. At "File Manager", click on the string which begins with http://www.geocities.com/... (This is the URL of your home page.)
  13. And you are at your home page!
hello world!
