Tour Guide

So what exactly can you expect to find at Em's Quick-Build Web Guide?
Everything you need to know about creating your very own homepage!
This guide is tailored for those who are using a FREE Geocities homepage (a great service!) but the same instructions apply to any homepage server. If you'd like to sign-up for a FREE Geocities homepage, click here.

Although this guide covers a lot of material, don't feel like you have to read EVERYTHING, or use EVERY tool in your homepage...start simple!

To help you find just what you're looking for, here's a brief description of each section's contents:

* The Basics
