66820 2002-08-03 03:34:00 A small caveat to Heather's list: All file/directory names are case sensitive . If you call your homepage file "Index.htm" it won't be found. It must be "index.htm" (or .html, or default.htm ...). "INDEX.HTM" won't work either ... Graham L (2)
66821 2002-08-03 03:50:00 Poppa John: I've just spent a bit of time trying to find out how I did registered for free email and website.

There are a number of urls which reach orcon. Use this one (http://www.orcon.co.nz/) and click on the "Join" line at the left. Join the "community" , then you can set up the homepage.

I wondered if they'd shut off on the free hosting. It's just that if you go in through the .net.nz address you don't see it. ;-)

66825 2002-08-03 06:26:00 Poppa, that is not Elwin's email address as specified on his site. You'll have to go back and try it again. If you click on the email link you should get a New Message window pop up with Elwin's address already in it for you.

Please don't put anyone's email address on these pages otherwise the spam bots will harvest them and you won't be a very popular person.

66826 2002-08-03 09:43:00 Susan B, Message recd & understood. The address I used was the one he himself posted on this thread as a www address. It would not go thro as an E-m, so I put Elwin instead of www. Had a closer look at his website as you suggested & found his other E-m. Thanks Poppa John Poppa John (284)
66827 2002-08-04 09:20:00 Poppa, www addresses are not always email addresses as well. In fact, it doesn't matter what you type before @design4web.co.nz , it won't go through cos I ain't signed up for a pop3 (email) account !

No, I see you found my address, as I was intending for you to go to my homepage .. :D
