Create Pages:
There are three ways to get pages to your
site:
- Upload files that you already have on
your computer.
- Create HTML files in the
"files" section of your Site Manager. This is a
simple text editor, but if you know any HTML, it will serve
the purpose.
- Create HTML files in another editor and
upload them to your site. There are several free HTML editors
available to do this. They vary from simple Notepad
replacements to feature-rich editors with wizards to help in
the creation of your pages.
- 1stPage2000 from evrsoft.com is a very
rich editor with all of the features that you would expect in
an expensive editor and it is free. You can find out more
about 1stPage2000 HERE
- Another great editor is Arachnophilia. It
is slated as "careware" but is free. You can find
out more about Arachnophilia HERE
- Another class of HTML editors are the
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) variety. The most well
known editor in this class is Composer which comes bundled
with Netscape from V3 on. You can download the latest version
of Netscape HERE
- There is another free WYSIWYG editor
available called AOL Press. You don't have to be an AOL member
to use this program, and it is available HERE

Uploading Files:
If you have a V3 browser or later, you
will be able to upload files to your site using the upload
section of the Site Manager. Simply select any of the
"browse" buttons to select the file(s) on your hard
disk drive that you want to upload.

Front Page:
Front Page extensions are not available
for your site. You are free to use Front Page to create your
files if you choose, but you will not be able to use any webbots.
You will also not be able to publish, but will have to copy the
files to your site using the Site Manager.
Top
Forms:
Yes you can use forms on your site. There
is a sample form that you can download and edit to suit your
needs. order.htm is the name of the file and it can be
downloaded in either .zip or windows self-extracting format.
This form uses cgiemail to parse the form and e-mail the results
to you.
Shared Guestbook, Forum and Links Pages:
You can not change the look of the shared
pages such as the guestbook, forum and links pages. These
add-ons share the same program for all users and therefore
cannot be customized. If you wish to use another guestbook such
as the one found at: http://www.dreambook.com/
you are welcome to do that. We do not endorse or support any
offsite add-ons though. The free guestbook script provided
with finitesite.com hosting is not moderated and entries cannot
be deleted once they are posted.
