Dawson area businesses that would like submit a web page need to follow these steps:

1. Your web page must fit on a single HD 3-1/2 inch floppy disk.  The data should reside in the root (main) directory of the floppy disk.


2. The home page must be named index.html.  Home page file names such as Index.htm, INDEX.HTML, home.html, etc. are not directly supported by the web server.


3. All of your HTML files need to be in ASCII (plain text) format.  Native Word, Publisher, Power Point, Front Page, etc. formats will not work properly.  Be sure to export these types of files into a standard ASCII HTML format.  See the instructions of your web authoring software on how this is done.

Businesses that currently have a web page on another server need to follow these instructions.

To test your disk, insert the floppy disk into the "A:" drive, and click here if you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME.  If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, you need to type this into the address bar at the top of the browser:

A:\index.html

Your home page should appear, and all links and graphics should be functional.  If not, you need to fix the problem(s) before submitting the disk for publication.

After verifying that your page is fully operational, label the floppy with your company name and bring it to the Dawson city office.
