We've had quite a
few requests over the past couple years to give our visitors a place to
upload stories and photos about their old houses. In
response, we're pleased to offer our free-of-charge web
sites to our visitors. By filling out the form below, you'll instantly get
3Mb of space on our servers. You'll be able to upload photos,
illustrations and web pages for the world to see. And you'll get a cool
URL: http://members.oldhouseweb.com/yoursitenamehere. What's
the catch? No catch, just a few rules and requests:
- We're making
this space available so you can tell the old-house community about
your own old house. Please keep your pages on-topic.
- We reserve the
right to delete sites at our discretion for any reason (or no reason
at all), and to discontinue this service at any time for any reason
(or no reason at all).
- You can use
your space to upload web pages, photos and graphics - but not scripts
of any kind.
- Backups are
your responsibility - not ours. Keep a copy of your site on your local
computer!
- Once you sign
up for an account, write down your username and password!!!
- Uploading stuff
to our servers is pretty straightforward, and we're working on adding
help files to walk new publishers through the process. But if you
can't figure things out, we can't help you. (In other words, if
you're stumped, get a book or take a course or ask fellow users on our
bulletin boards for a hand. As for Deb, Ken and others here at The Old
House Web: Our plates are already too full ...)
- You'll need a
Web page editor in order to build your pages. See below for some ideas
on how to build your pages.

Tips
on Building Web Pages
- If
you've ever built and uploaded a web page to a web server, you'll find
our control panel easy to use.
- If
this your first attempt at creating a web page, we're working on
tutorials to help you get started. In the meantime, most of the major
web browsers offer a free HTML editor as part of their package.
- If
you use Internet Explorer, FrontPage Express may already be
installed on your computer. If not, you can get it free on
Microsoft's web site by downloading a new copy of Internet
Explorer.
- Netscape
similarly offers a free web page editor, known as Composer.
- Here's
a page Deb created using FrontPage Express. She then uploaded
it onto her member page site. She explains the process in this page.
