I'm feeling sheepish -- how do I log into my own page? I've got the password, etc., but where do I use it????
Your URL will be: http://freepages.school-alumni.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~youraccountname/ NOTE: The part that says school-alumni will change depending on which "community" you use to hold your website. For example, you might choose the genealogy community, so genealogy will be in your URL. You can think of each "community" as a separate "website" but all using the same Account Name. NOTE: When you first go to your URL, it will say "Page Not Found" for each "Community" until you upload yourr first page. Your first page must have the file name of "index.htm" or "index.html" -- which is how the server finds your website. TIP: If you use the "miscellaneous" community it can act as a "front door" for all the communities you use. All you need to do is use navigation from the index.htm(l) file on misc to the index.htm(l) file of another community. File Manager (File Man) is the first result (non-ad result) if you google the phrases together::: freepages+File Manager Log in with your account name and password. File Manager can be confusing when you first see it AND it will also be "empty" of files/folders the first time. There is a top button to change the community. Just ask about anything you don't understand after that. TIP: Make a temporary dummy file named "index.htm" or html and upload it just so you can practice using file manager. As an example, your dummy page could just say "This is my website". TIP: Make a folder called images to practice making a folder AND to see how to make a folder using File Manager. You will likely need an images folder, so no need to delete it. After you see how things upload, go back and edit your index.html file with the info you want seen. Re-upload the same file, and select to overwrite the first one you uploaded. TIP: Pick ONE file extension (htm OR html ) and use the same one on all files you make. Use lowercase letters in file names. Judy
