HOW TO ACCESS YOUR ANGELFIRE ACCOUNT:

Logging In

HOW TO CREATE AND EDIT YOUR WEB PAGES: When you signed up for Angelfire, we automatically built you an index.html page to get you started. But, we'll be honest with you, it's not a very exciting page. You signed up because you were interested in building a page, and we want to help you do that. Personalize your page today and make it yours.

There are several different ways that your can build and maintain your Angelfire site.

ONLINE BUILDING and EDITING TOOLS

1. The Web Shell: This is the area you are taken to when you log in. From here you can create and modify files and subdirectories, upload single files and images from your desktop,and change the preferences for your account. You can also access our online page-building tools, the Basic and Advanced Editors.
2. Basic Editor: If you are a newcomer to Web page building, our Basic Editor allows you to build a simple page in minutes.
3. Advanced Editor: If you are more experienced, our Advanced Editor lets you write HTML right from your Web browser.
4. Blog Builder: If you are interested in creating a Weblog, Angelfire's Blog Builder is the tool for you. It is easy for beginners to use, and also has more advanced options for customizing your templates in case you're an experienced builder.
5. Photo Album Builder: If you're looking for a place to show off your digital photos, Angelfire's Photo Album Builder has a lot to offer.

DESKTOP BUILDING and PUBLISHING TOOLS

1. HTML Editing Software: You can write HTML and create Web pages on your computer's hard drive using a wide range of freely available and "for-pay" programs, such as CutePage, HomeSite, Dreamweaver, etc. You will then need to use an FTP program (see next item) to upload the pages you create to your Angelfire directory, via our FTP server.
2. FTP server: FTP (file transfer protocol) is a good way to move multiple files directly from your desktop to your Angelfire account. You will need to use an FTP client such as CuteFTP, WS_FTP or Fetch. Some Web browsers also support FTP.
3. Microsoft Office and FrontPage: If you own either of these products, you can use Web folders to save documents right to your Angelfire account. For information on using Microsoft Office and FrontPage with Angelfire check our FrontPage FAQ.
