Frequently Asked Questions

(and their answers.)

How do I . . .

Add a graphical counter to my web page?

Simply insert the following to get either a text or a graphical counter:

text

Seen <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/c4.pl"--> times!.

example: Seen 8318 times!.

graphical

Seen <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/c4g.pl"--> times!.

example: Seen times!.


Upload images to my page?

You can't upload images to your page. We are able to offer this service for free because it takes up relatively little room on our server. We are unable to allow graphics like Geo Cities because of our small size. One solution is upload graphics to your ISP and then reference them. Another is to get a Geo Cities account and put graphics there to reference. For hints on how to make a cool page, view the source of any page that you find interesting. You can see they do it!

Does JAVA work with free home pages?

Yes! you can put javascript on your page, and you can reference applets anywhere on the net.!

Upload pages created with Netscape Navigator Gold (Or some other WYSIWYG html editor?)

The simpleset way to do this is to use windows cut and paste functionality. Create page, then save it to a file on your hard drive. Open that file in Notepad and then surf to the page editing form. Select all the html code in Notepad and choose EDIT|COPY. Position the cursor inside the Free Home Page form and select EDIT|PASTE in your browsers menu. Click on the submit button. That should do the trick!

If you browser has the capability to view source, you could use it instead of Notepad. Just remember as you create your page, that all links need to be absolute, not relative. Have Fun!


How much space do I get with my Free Home Page?

Because you only store HTML code and text on our server, you use up very little space. It would be difficult for you to use more than several thousand bytes. We have no restrictions on space because of this. If someone were to use many pages and several meg of space, then we would probably request that they purchase a commercial web site for only $10 a month.

After I submit my form - it comes back blank!

Some browsers don't refill the form. If you have one of these, you can either get another one (like netscape) or you can view your source, and then copy and paste the html code back into the form.

How do I add a chat to my page?

Simply make sure the following html code is somewhere on your page:

<form method=GET action="/home/genchat.cgi">
<!--namefield-->
Your Name:<input type=text name=realname size=30><br>
<!--endofnamefield-->
Your message:<br>
<textarea name=comments COLS=60 ROWS=4></textarea><br>
<input type=submit value="send your message or check for new messages">
<input type=reset value="clear message">
</form>
<!--beginofmessages-->
<!--endofmessages-->
