CREATING YOUR OWN WEB PAGE

How do you set up your own Web page? Paul Raeburn, senior editor of Business Week, wrote about this, and Ginny Hudak-David is current author of A Beginner's Guide to HTML. They were the Mar. 30 guests. The guide comes from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Here's a sample:

JackBW: Here's an audience question, from July291969.
Question: What would you suggest to be the best program to make your Web site? (I use FrontPage97.)

HudakDavid: Well, I think you have three ways to go. You can hire someone to do it, you can use some custom software, or you can use the HTML codes.  All three require time, and two of them require funding. If you're going to do very few pages (fewer than 20), you may just want to use some custom software. It is whatever seems to fit your budget. I have Pagemill (Adobe software), and it worked well for me. I was looking for a shortcut at the time. But it depends on what's comfortable. If you've spent some money on something, you should try to spend some time with it and get proficient.
