Boy it's easy to throw up simple pages like these! It just ends up being a little time consuming, but it's not much more difficult than sending an email message via Hotmail and saving a copy for yourself.

A couple of tricks:

To set up an email address in one of your web pages, select the text that you have typed for people to click on, and in the "link-to" typing entry bar in the dialogue box (Netscape Composer ver 4.7), enter the setting in the following format: mailto:cap__foogaloojim@hotmail.com, just as I have done on my home page.

Most hosts allow you to make subdirectories in which to organize your "pages", i.e. your files. To link back to a page one level back towards the root, just put a "../" before the name of the lower-level page being linked to in the "link-to" typing entry bar in the dialogue box. Repeat the "../" for each level towards the root that you need to go (don't type the " quote marks).

Note that case is sensitive in web addresses following the first single slash, because that part contains Unix-style subdirectories and file names, and Unix (unlike DOS and Windows) is case-sensitive. i.e., capitalization counts after the .com or .org or whathaveyou. I don't think case counts any where in the http:... up to and including that final three-letter domain. Note that many of the page addresses in this website use mixed case. Also, I don't think email addresses are case-sensitive anywhere, so feel free to use capitilization for readability when writing email addresses.
