How
do I join?
You can begin the process
by going to our registration form.
Fill in all the fields in the form and follow the instructions.
Do
I have to know HTML to build my webpage?
No, You can use of Simple
Editor to create homepages. They allow you to add colors, pictures and
text without knowing HTML.
How
do I move into my address?
"Moving in" means that
you have either altered or added text to your index.html file (which the
system automatically creates for you), or that you have replaced the index.html
file with your own file (also called index.html) and uploaded it.
For directory maintenance
such as creating, uploading, editing, deleting or organizing files, use
the Account Manager.
How
do I link to a new page that I have made?
To link to another page
in your filelist, use the following HTML tag:
<A HREF="page2.html">Go
To Page 2</A>
Note: Be sure to replace
"page2.html" with the real page name.
How
do I put pictures on my page?
You can use the "browse..."
button in your Account Manager page and upload the image that you would
like to display into your directory. For images that you would like to
add to your page, add the HTML code for the image command to your page:
<img src="image.gif"
WIDTH="##" HEIGHT="##" ALT="My picture">
Next, replace "image.gif"
with the actual file name of your image. You should include the "ALT Text"
tag for people who browse with images disabled.
How do I
upload an image with the File Uploader?
To upload, go to the Account
Manager. Once there, scroll down to the File Uploader and press the "Browse..."
Button. It will open a window in your browser that lists your HTML files.
Next, select "File Type" (*.* ALL Files) then highlight the file. Hit OK
and then hit the Upload Button.
I uploaded an image,
and can view it in Account Manager, but all I see is a little box on my
page, what do I need to do?
Very Important! The filenames
here are CaSe SeNsItIvE. In other words, if your HTML code says "yourpic.gif"
but the file is named "Yourpic.gif" or "YOURPIC.GIF" then it won't work.
How do I get a background
on my page?
If you want to use an image
as your background, just substitute bgcolor="color code" with background="image.gif"
in the line of text that defines the main body attributes on your page.
You can easily substitute ".gif" for ".jpg" in any line of code, depending
on which kind of file you are working with.

Can
I edit my page with an outside HTML editor?

link on your page!
When
I go to my URL, my changes aren't there. What do I do?
First try hitting the "Reload"
or "Refresh" buttons. If that doesn't work, hold down your shift button
and hit the "Reload" button. Do that a couple of times.
How
do I stop the pop-up ads?
Pop-up windows are never
served alongside pages that have a Asiaco.com AdOn on them. Pop-up windows
also do not appear for members of the Asiaco.com Gold program. Members who
prefer not to have pop-up windows served periodically along with their
pages are encouraged to put a Asiaco.com AdOn on their pages. The Asiaco.com
AdOn program is the way which Asiaco.com uses to support our community
through advertising.
The Asiaco.com AdOn also
contains a built-in ad banner. As you are probably aware, Asiaco.com
relies on the ongoing support of our advertisers and sponsors to help fund
all the free programs we offer our members and visitors. Asiaco.com
also serves ad banners in pop-up windows that may appear alongside member
pages that do not contain the Asiaco.com AdOn. These pop-up windows also
contain links to Asiaco.com and an ad banner. The pop-up window does
not in any way interfere with the content of the member's page, nor does
it affect the loading of the member's page.
At Asiaco.com, we always
try to give a variety of options to our Members. The pop-up program and
Asiaco.com AdOn program were developed based on direct input and feedback
from our members and visitors.
Members are prohibited from
interfering with the design and operation of the Asiaco.com AdOn and the
pop-up windows, and violators may be subject to having their account terminated.
If you would rather avoid banner advertising, then please take advantage
of the Asiaco.com Gold Program for
$4.50 a month.
How
do I change my membername or password?
The Account Manager contains
all of the information in your Asiaco.com account. If you wish to change
your membername, password, e-mail address, or anything else related to
your Profile, there are a few things to remember:
Changing membername
E-mail sent to your prior
Asiaco.com e-mail address will not be transferred to your new address.
Changing your password
Your password should be
something that you will never forget, but would be hard for others to guess.
Passwords that contain both letters and numbers are the most secure. Pick
a name or a word that means something to you and combine it with a number
that also means something to you. This way you will have a password that
is easy to remember and secure as well.
I forgot my membername
or password. What do I do?
Please visit the Account
manager login page. Place your account mname in the bar.
You can click on the "Get
Lost Password" button to send yourself your password (if that is what you
forgot).
Note: Do not give your
password to anyone. Asiaco.com will NEVER ask you for your password.
How
do I put a Guestbook on my page?
Follow these steps to create
your own Guestbook:
-
Go to Free
Tools and choose "Guestbook".
-
Choose a name for your Guestbook.
(It can be anything you'd like.)
-
Follow the instructions.
