It seems to me that there should be an easy solution for what I have been trying to do. . .but it has so far eluded me.

I have used .Mac to create a website, containing the Home Page and a secondary page using the .Mac authoring tools provided by Apple through my browser.

However, I want to create a few pages on the site using my own HTML -- because Apple's pages are a little bit limited. For instance, I have a preformatted resume, as well as a "personal" page that I've hosted elsewhere up until now.

I simply want the "home" page to have links to the page that I've created with .Mac as well as the ones I've created from scratch.

However, there does not seem to be a simple solution to do this. There are definitely no good instructions for doing this on Apple's sites. The closest that I can come is creating a separate "site" that is referred-to by the "home page," but it doesn't flow as nicely as I would like it to.

Has anyone else tried to do this? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

If all you're trying to do is create your own default homepage for your .Mac site, you can name your HTML page "index.html" (or "default.html", I think it's index.html but I forget off the top of my head) in the "Sites" folder and that will then be the page that appears whenever someone goes to http://homepage.mac.com/YourUserID. It sounds like the easiest way to accomplish what you want to do is just to create your own page with links to other parts of your site, and name it as mentioned above.
I wanna see movies of my dreams.
