I've been encountering problems with some of the more propular web builders such as Geocites and tripod because they say I'm not using a windooze operating system. Can anyone recommend a good place for me to do this for the mac?

Thank you.

I have used Angelfire with no problem. I do my code in BBEdit, or I just use the templates they provide. Look to see if you ISP provides some free space for a site.

I figure if they don't want us, @#$@^& em.

Use homepage from www.apple.com if you have OS 9. Just create a index.html file and drop it in your sites folder in your iDisk.

Indeed, Apples iTools Homepage totally rocks.
Put images in your "images" directory on the iDisk, and link to them like this:
http://homepage.mac.com/username/.Pictures/pic.jpg

Note the ".P".
Important.

Its fast-as too.

Completely agree that iTools is very nice. If you haven't checked it out recently, be sure to go there!

Hey Cipher,
Does the ".P" mean that our iDisks are on a UNIX server? I would have thought apple would be using their own software (or does OS X use UNIX file names?)
