Now that LaundroMatic offers free homepages, you may want to make one of your own. However, you might just have a few questions before you get started. How do you make a homepage? What should one put on it? We'll do our best to help you answer your inquiries in the next few paragraphs.
Webpages on the internet are created with a little something called HTML - Hypertext Markup Language. Don't let the name fool you, though -- creating a homepage with HTML is a relatively simple task once you know how to do it.
For starters, you may want to start out learning html at a site such as Anabella's HTML Help. There you will find simple step by step tutorials to all the basic HTML tags that you will need to create your homepage. Once you get the hang of things, you might want to check out HTMLgoodies for a more advanced approach or Lynda.Com for design tips.
However, if your aim isn't to make a page by hand, you can always use our EZ-Web feature, which allows you to fill in a few forms and PRESTO! -- a page will be created for you. Also you can use one of our templates, which allows you to squeeze your own content into a pre-formatted design.
Perhaps you know this already, and just want to start creating your page. You can enter raw HTML and text into a form in the "Standard HTML" option under the "Create a New File" category. If you prefer to make your files in a text editor such as EditPad, you can upload your files directly to the web! You can also upload images and other media.
The Internet is home to millions and millions of webpages, each housing a wide variety of content. Don't make your page a cookie-cutter waste of space -- put some pizzazz into it! First decide what you want to make your page about. Do you want to express your feelings and opinions to the world through rants and prose? Perhaps you wish to show your devotion to a TV show, band, or other pop culture phenomenon. Or you might just want to say hi to your friends. Chances are you want a place for your LaundroMatic images and trading info to reside. Whatever it is that you want to do, the possibilities are endless (especially when you have practically 70 megabytes of webspace and a cool url to boot)!
Adding an interactive edge to your page is always a plus. And since LaundroMatic realizes this, we have provided you with three utilities to make your web page escapades all that much easier. You can place a fully-customizable guestbook on your page for your friends and visitors to leave comments and suggestions in. If you want to take user surveys, our form mail feature allows form results to be mailed directly to you. Our most exciting speciality is the Web Board. The Web Board, which is also fully customizable, allows visitors to come and read other posts, and post a response, or post a new message of their own. You also have full admin access over the deletion of any post posted on your web board.
