Geocities PageBuilder

Task #1

Log on to Geocities.  Launch PageBuilder.  Pagebuilder will open with a new page.  I want you to add your name at the top of the page (first names only).  Add a picture to your page (anything will do).  Change the background color of the page.  Save your page with the name index.

Here's how:

Insert Picture Click Picture button.  Choose a Yahoo picture, or choose Upload.
Set Title & Link Colors Format>Page Properties.

You may choose a color, a Yahoo pattern, or your own.

Links

 

Step 1:  Select the text that you want to become a link and click the Link button.

Step 2:  Decide what type of link you'll be making.

My Page

There's lots of interesting Add-ons for you to explore.
