 Classic Home Page activities The classic Home PageThe general steps for creating a Home Page are:
• create a Personal Home Page document called Home Page
• add content and images to your document
• create additional documents and create links between the documents
FirstClass has a special document called Personal Web Page. This document was created to make it easy to name the document Home Page. In FirstClass any document called Home Page will automatically be the first displayed by a web browser.
Open your Home Page Folder and choose File > New > New Document Special > Personal Home Page. Select the Name field and type Home Page. Add content and any images to your document body. Close the document.Additional documents do not require special names. Continue using the Personal Home Page document for consistency, however any document or message will be viewable with a web browser.
 Creating links between documentsAt this point it's probably a challenge creating enough material for one page so if you don't need multiple pages right now, you can skip to the Viewing your Home Page section.
Though people can use the web browser's Back button to navigate, it's better to provide links to help people navigate through your Home Page Folder.
Open the first document that will contain the link to the second document. Select the second document and drag it to the first document. Double click for a larger view. Hint FirstClass frequently saves any changes made to a document while it is open and automatically saves the document when it is closed. The editor toolbar displays two icons:
 this icon indicates the latest document changes have not yet been saved this icon indicates they have been saved.You can click on the icon to force the changes to be saved immediately.
Note Currently only people with an account on FirstClass can see Home Pages. If you'd like your Home Page to be more accessible contact the FirstClass administrator.
