Create your own Homepage

By uhjenny

Well, I have a tutorial to help you guys make your own custom start up homepage whatever you would like to call it. Here’s what I’m talking about: “LINK“. Things you should know before I continue:

1. This homepage has the Google search engine.
2. You have to know a bit of CSS. (If you know how to take out the credit of a MySpace generated layout, you know enough. -_-)
3. Get Notepad++. Well, plain old Notepad would work, but if you check out the screenshots of Notepad++, you’d see they have those numbered line and I think it’s easier to see and read. And they have color. They highlight the HTML.
4. Download my default homepage. So you can edit it. :)
5. Technically, this is editting a page, not creating. But if you know enough CSS, you can add more stuff. :)

DOWNLOAD.

K, now we’re ready to start.

Alright, first thing you’ll see is this icon.

Right click -> Open with Notepad (or Notepad++)
<style type=”text/css”>
1. Edit “Title Here.” to whatever you want. It will show on your title and tab.

2. Edit “image hereeeee” to a link you want to be your background. Now here comes the part where you’re supposed to know your CSS stuff: Edit the background stuff to your own liking. The font is what ever you want. Color is the font color.
3. The next bracket are about links. Edit those to your own liking.
</style>
4. Now this section are links. Add links you check everyday.. Hm.. Like MySpace? or Xanga. :)

5. The last section is the Google search engine. Unless you want your search engine thingy messed up, basically, the only thing you should edit is the “style=”"”. Here’s a list of colors. You can edit colors, border, width, length, and font.
6. File -> Save -> Double click to open to your browser.

See it? Like it? Set it as your homepage. For Firefox: Drag the link to the home page. For Internet Explorer: Copy the link and paste it into your setting homepage thing.

See it? Don’t like it? Fix it.

Final product.

As you see, this tutorial is just the beginning. There are many other things you can do with HTML. You can even use DHTML. And other sources to make your own homepage.
