PUTTING YOUR WEB SITE ON THE NET       (Using GeoCities Free Site)   

First you will need to establish a site as follows 

Open Geocities web site http://au.geocities.yahoo.com
Click on “Need Help Signing In”  (Under Member Sign In)
On the next page Para 1. click on “Sign Up Form”
Then Create your Yahoo ID
Fill in your First Name, Last Name, Gender,
In the Yahoo ID box, type the name you want for your web site, 
This name may already be taken so click “ Check Availability of this ID”
Choose another name and try again until your name is accepted.
Then click “Creating free Yahoo Email Address” and fill in the remaining questions.
Where it asks for an alternative email address put in your normal email address.
When you have finished, click on “I Agree”
On the next page choose a topic such as “Friends” then click on Submit the Form.
That’s it
You can  now click on “Build Your Page Now” or you can sign out and re-open later as follows. 

Uploading your site files

Open Geocities web site http://au.geocities.yahoo.com
Sign In using your Yahoo ID and Password
Click on “File Manager” and then “Open File Manager”

Note File Manager must be set up the same way as your site is set up on your computer, for example if files are in a folder on the computer, then they must be in a similar folder on the site, that is your PHOTOS would be in the IMAGES FOLD 

So In File Manager start by going down to Sub Directories and click on New,
Name it “images” in lower case and click Create
Now open the Images Folder and click “Upload to”  (Easy Upload)
Note, you can change the number of files to upload in each session, I recommend you upload a few at a time.
Click on Browse and find your site on your computer and open the Images folder and double click on the first image then repeat for each other image
When you have selected a few then click on upload files
Back in file manager click on “Up one Level” do the same on your computer and proceed to upload all the remaining files.
When you have finished uploading , open the web site and check that everything works.

 
If you strike problems check that all the filenames are in "lower case" and "do not have any spaces" and if you do find errors in the file names you will have to correct the errors on your computer and then re-upload those files
