The address for your website will appear in the following format, replacing "name" with the website-ID that you selected for your website during the activation process:

http://web.newsguy.com/name

Member websites are accessible through a variety of Web Development, Web Editing, and FTP software applications. This includes full support for Microsoft FrontPage, and the following tips provide instructions for accessing your website with MS FrontPage:

1. Within FrontPage choose the "File / Open Web..." command. When the dialog box appears, enter the following information into the "Web address" field, and click the "Open" button...

http://web.newsguy.com/name

2. When prompted by FrontPage, enter your NewsGuy Username and Password to access your site. These are the same Username/Password IDs that you use to access other areas of the NewsGuy service, such as the Usenet newsgroups.

3. Once connected FrontPage will list your web address as the main folder under the "Folder List" column, and should see your home page (home.htm) file included in the list. If this is the first time accessing your web site the home.htm would be the default homepage that was added when your web site was created. Simply overwrite that file with your own home.htm file. You can create whatever additional webpages and subdirectories that want to store your web pages and graphics.

4. If you wish to work on your web pages off-line, then upload your changes, you can do that also. First create the web pages locally on your PC, then use the Publish command to upload those to your web site. Use your full web site address in the address field, when prompted by FrontPage for the location you want to publish to.

5. Sites provide 50 MB of space, and fully support MySQL and PHP.

6. As a system guideline and bandwidth issue, please do not use this web space for adult-oriented binaries or as a means for archiving software/binaries.

7. If you would be interested in including a counter within your site, please refer to the Counter Information page. The actual counter file can be found within your user page directory and is created upon setting up access. It is stored as a .dat file and is defaulted to your user page name. FrontPage also offers a counter feature which you can use as well.
