Before starting1. Please use Firefox or Chrome for today’s
exercises.
2. Open up Control Panel in your PC. Within Control Panel search for “Folder Options”. Open it and click on the View tab and un-check the box for “Hide extensions for known file types”.
This is to avoid problems with naming or re-naming the file extension (ex. .txt, .doc, .htm, .html, etc.):

2 Under “Personal Home Page Options” click on the link “Create Homepage.”
3 Write down your homepage URL address:
e.g. http://www2.hawaii.edu/~yourusername
(Notice that index.html is not added to the end of the address, but rather it is implied.)
4 Click on the link to your new homepage!
To establish your space on the UH server and create a home page:
Open http://www.hawaii.edu/account/ in Firefox

Troubleshooting When saving the template files in Internet Explorer,
they will be named .htm by default. To be consistent with how the code was written in the template, you must rename the file extension: .html or else the links in your navigation bar will not work.
Our current recommendation is to save the files from Mozilla Firefox or Chrome in order to avoid this issue. Firefox saves the files as .html by default.
