With Home Page Wizard, you can
Once you're satisfied with your Web pages, you can publish them on the World Wide Web with Publishing Wizard, another CompuServe application program (supplied) that automatically performs all the administrative tasks necessary to get your pages on the Web.
Moments after the publishing process, you and everyone else using WWW (World Wide Web) will be able to access your home page.
What information am I allowed to post on my Personal Home Page?
Any content on your home page must abide by CompuServe's Operating Rules and Service Agreement Terms. Use of "inappropriate material" such as profanity, pornography, illegal or copyright material on any home page, will result in removal of your home page; and flagrant or repeated violations may lead to termination of membership. If you need to review any of the Rules or Service Agreement Terms please use the GO RULES command online.
How much does it cost to download the Home Page Wizard and setup my Personal Home Page?
The download of the Wizard is free. Members may also place their Personal Home Pages online free of charge. Please note, standard connect time charges and any supplemental network surcharges do apply during the publishing process.
How often can I submit updates for my Web page?
You may update your Personal Home Page as often as you feel necessary. You will not be charged for any changes or updates made to your Web page. Once again, standard connect time charges and any supplemental network surcharges do apply during the submission process.
How much storage space do I have available for my page?
CompuServe is allowing a maximum of one megabyte of storage space for each member publishing a home page.
I've published my web page, but how do I view it? What is the address?
During the publishing process, you are prompted for the address you would like to use for your home page. Be sure to write this address down so you do not forget it. The address that you choose for your web page, will also pre-register your for a mail alias. In the future, mail aliases will allow you to use a name instead of your User ID number for a mail address. For example, if you choose JOE, your web address or URL (Uniform Resource Locator) will be:
Can I use other HTML authoring tools and HTML documents to create my home page, or do I have to create a new page with the Wizard?
Any HTML file can be published on CompuServe by using the Publishing Wizard. Be sure to include all the HTML documents and any .gif,.jpg files that are "called" within your home page.
Is there a Mac version of the Home Page Wizard?
At this time, there is only a Windows version of the Wizard, although we do plan to release a Macintosh version in the future.
What do the tabs on the left-hand side of the Home Page Wizard do? How do I use them?
The Home Page Wizard allows you to create multiple pages in your project. This allows you to have a "theme" or style for each page. The tabs simply give you a way to see and access all the pages in your project. For example: One person may have the main page (or index) that gives a short description about themselves and a overview of the contents on their home page. Then they may have a page created of their favorite hot links, a page of their favorite restaurants, a page of their Top Ten reasons to have a home page on CompuServe, etc. with all of them linked together with Internal Links. With this type of design, it is easy to keep home pages organized and easy to follow.
