Thanks!

Using Another Authoring Tool

You can use any HTML authoring tool to create the pages for your .Mac member site.

Prepare your pages using the tool of your choice, then copy the completed site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. If you have already created another .Mac site, copy the new site to its own folder in your Sites folder.

If you name your start page index.html and place it at the top level of your Sites folder, your site's address is homepage.mac.com/yourmembername/

IMPORTANT: HomePage uses index.html in the Sites folder as the start page for sites it creates. If you use HomePage to create a page, any other index.html you have placed in your Sites folder will be overwritten.

If you give your start page a different name or location, include the name and path in your site's address. For example, if your start page is home.html in a folder named School inside your Sites folder, the address is homepage.mac.com/yourmembername/School/home.html

.Mac is stupid when ur paying $100 for it every year. Its a total waste when you can just go to yahoo, hotmail, or spymac for free e-mail. Jobs shouldn't of changed iTool to something like .Net. I wouldn't use it because there is so much else you can use instead of it.

Only $50 to support Apple. When I invested in my iPod the very first day they came to my country, I knew that I wasn't just paing for the hardware and since then we've had loads of developement in it. I now have a calendar, contacts and everything.

I somehow think this is a ploy for us to use a iPod's more, thus making their life shorter so we have to buy another one sooner.

I did it

I made my HTML in AppleWorks )) I just typed it but now that I have Dreamweaver I dont have to type anymore. As for HTML sites. Open your iDisk and drop your file (webpage.html) {NOTE: your file must have ".html" at the end otherwise your iDisk won't know what it is} in to the "Sites" folder and your done. Then just type this on your web browser: http://www.homepage.mac.com/username/webpage.html Ta-Dah!

Now the only bad thing is that you can't edit the HTML file through .Mac's website, the only way to change it is to open the file from your iDisk into your HTML editing program and then save it. Remeber always put ",html" at the end!

html

Okay, I have been super busy and am just now getting around to messing with this some more, but thanks to LimeiBook86 I think I know what I'm doing now. I have my html pages on geocities right now for free, but I would MUCH rather have it on .mac (no banner ads or popup windows for one thing). Now I know how to do it, so I will experiment with linking my html pages to the galleries in my current .mac homepage, etc., some more before I say how much I really love it. Now if ONLY domain names could be a part of .mac somehow. Even if it only included ONE page of "yourname.com" linking to the current "homepage.mac.com/your name" pages. I'd go for that. Apple could require us to put their web badge on our pages (or insert them for us automatically), and maybe even create a "new" badge to represent that the domain was purchased and hosted by .mac or something. I put their web badges on my current pages anyway just b/c I'm proud to be a mac user. anyway, there's got to be a place for this SOMEwhere in Apple's future. Or else I'm just babbling.....
