On this page you will learn, step by step, how to sign up and build yourself a free web or home page.
Once you have it you have it you can experiment with Java Scripts of your own.

Netscape Browser.
Firstly you need to download the latest Netscape browser.
You probably already have it but if not and you want to know why you need it, go to the JavaScript page.
Go to:  http://www.google.com  and type in browsers.
Then when you get the results, click on netscape 7.2, or the latest browser from Netscape.

If you don't already have an internet connection (maybe somebody printed this page for you) you can do all this from school or an Internet cafe.

Legal age of Majority
It is important that if you are a legal minor, i.e. are under the age of 20, that you ask your parents or guardian before downloading anything over the internet, because they are legally responsible for your debts until that age. You will be asked to read and agree to the license agreement before you can unzip it to a file, so ask them to do that for you also. This is important.
It will tell you that it is free, but this is not true. You need to have a Microsoft or NEC operating system  before it will work.

Free Geocities Web Page
Now go to the Yahoo home page and get your free web pages. This is part of the deal when you sign up with Netscape for a browser. You will need to go to::
http://geocities.yahoo.com
Just copy and paste this url into your browser
On the left of your screen you will see GeoCities Free
Complete all the forms, and soon you will have the web space to do with as you like.
Once you have completed the registration process you return to this page to log in.

Again, if you are not yet an adult, please ask your parents to complete it with you.
You will get a free email address with the same name that you used for your login name.

Building a Web page
Now go to the web page.
You do this by logging in:
http://geocities.yahoo.com
Just follow the instructions
Look carefully at the page, you will see somewhere near the top in the middle,
Page Wizards and
Page builder.
We recommend that you ignore the wizards and try Page Builder first.
If it is too difficult, come back later and try the wizards, but you get a very bland result.

Start with Text
save the page.
One page will be needed for you index page.
Next time you log on you will be asked to rename one of your pages as index, so don't use the word index for the name of your page (unless it is the one you are going to call index).
now close Yahoo Page builder.

Next time you log on you will be prompted to:

Now if you want to experiment with your own JavaScript code
Look to the right hand side of the page you will see
html editor

A good way to compose your pages if they contain a lot of text is to:
Open a browser window
(hold down the Control key (Ctrl or Crl) and press N (for Netscape))
release
At the top of the window, next to help, you will see Window
place the mouse pointer of this and click once
A drop down box will appear
and the fourth item is composer
Click once to launch
You shouldn't have any trouble working out how to use it and to save your page to a folder.
email us if you have any trouble, and we'd be glad to help.
