This is a page containing a lot of the helpful links you will need to refer to often concerning building your home page such as the GeoCities File Manager Login and related links to pages. For now this will be the most valuable reference page you have so be sure and assign it to one of your F Keys from the link below. When you want to access this tutorial just hit the F Key you have it assigned to and click on the links to these pages from there. Peruse it good as it will give you explainations of what all the different tools do.

At the top of the page is "Clear Cache." Sometime when you've been on line for a while and pages become slow loading that means you've amassed a lot of storage memory (pages you've visited). To clear a lot of them click on "InstaClear" at the top of the page. You will not be able to use your back button to revisit a page you have previously visited before you "Cleared Cache" and from that point on it will start saving visited sites all anew and sometimes that helps pages load faster for you. However the best way to clear ALL the memory is to turn your power off and let the unit sit for a minute until it stops making noise.

There is a brief explanation of each catagory of links in the "Index" title its self and the links themselves have a brief explanation of what the site does in the status bar at the bottom the screen when you put the cursor over the name of the site (link)..

When you click on the "Links & Tools Page" hit your "Save" key and save it in one of your Favorite Folders. After you have done that go to that Favorite Folder you just saved it in and on the Info Bar on the left click on "Organize" and when the next page comes up click on "Short Cuts." When the next page comes up click on the square beside this page and scroll down and click on "Done." That will take you to another page and there you will click on the number of the key you want to assign this page to then scroll down and click on "Done" again. That will asssign this page to one of your F Keys (on the top row of your keyboard F1-F7). This will enable you to have all this information at the push of one key and it saves a lot of storage space in your favorite folders.

NOTE: WIRED KEYBOARDS don't have the ability to save favorite sites on the F-Keys like the wireless keyboards do. There is an adaptor for both the Classic and Plus Model Webtvs available for $36.95 that will enable you to use a wired keyboard and be able to assign sites to the F-Keys. Full details and ordering info can be found here.

Later in the tutorial I'll show you how to build your own F Key Link Page with your personal favorite site links but for now you're welcome to use mine. By building one of these it will also allow you to link directly to these sites without saving them in your favorite folders thusly freeing up a lot of storage space for other sites you'd like to store.

Of all the tutorials I've seen that would be the easiest and quickest for a newbie to learn would be to start right here with SIMPLE HTML written by the Bridge Troll himself. This one not only explains the basic codes you will be using, it provides an HTML Test Bed for you to practice them in. When you get through with this you will have a much better understanding of what the easy ones will be teaching you. Here is my own Pre HTML School, quick and easy tutorial. Just finish reading this page and it starts on the next page. Enjoy and have fun. :-)

You can find instructions on cut, copy and paste in the Webtv Help Center by going to your Main Webtv Home Page and clicking on "Using Webtv" then at the bottom of the page it takes you to in the search box type in "cut, copy and paste" and it will take you to the instruction page. However the links I'll give you here are much easier to understand and more detailed than Webtv's and even has places to practise as you read the instructions.

CLIPBOARD: Mad Rabbit has an excellent clipboard with five different pages on it I have assigned to an F Key. What makes that nice is if you're surfing looking say for food recipes and NASCAR sites to put on two different web pages on your site you can put them on seperate clipboard pages. When you put something on the clipboard you can go ahead and write all the codes on it there and just copy and paste it on your web page and not have to do a lot of straightening there. When you amass a few you can copy them off the clipboard and go to your web page you want to work on and dump them all at once instead of having to go through the process several times. You can get the Clipboard here Mad Rabbit's Clipboard.
