First, login to Liberty and choose 5 (for 'Liberty functions') and 1 (for 'UNIX')

1. From the Liberty $ prompt:
   • type mkdir public_html (to create a subdirectory)
   • type cd public_html (to move to that subdirectory)
   • type pico index.html to call up a text editor ('pico') and edit a file named 'index.html', which will be your Home Page.
2. Now type something (anything....) in this filespace, just to have something to look at.
3. And SAVE what you've typed by holding down the <CONTROL> key and hitting the X key. (Hit the Y key when asked if you want to save).

   ---

4. Now start up Netscape by double-clicking on the icon. Click on the Open button and type this into the space:

   http://www.wlu.edu/~yourusername (thus, mine would be http://www.wlu.edu/~hblackme)

   and click on 'Open' to see your index.html file displayed as a Netscape document

5. Once your document is displayed, go to the Bookmarks menu and choose Add Bookmark. This will put your index.html file into the bookmarks list so that you can connect again quickly after you've edited the file further.

   ---

6. Now go back to Liberty, type pico index.html, and make some changes to the file. Save it again (with <CONTROL><X>), go back to Netscape, choose index.html from the Bookmarks menu. You'll need to click on the Reload button to get your changes to show.

   ---

   The next step is to make a hypertext link --to link your index.html file to something else.
7. Go back to Liberty and type pico number2.html, hit <ENTER>, and then type some text and save the file in the usual way.
8. Now type pico index.htmland <ENTER> and add a link by typing this line:

   <a href="number2.html">Here's a link</a>

   Save as usual and go back to Netscape.
9. Use your bookmark to call up your index.html document, use the Reload button, and click on the hypertext link ("Here's a link"). It should take you to the second document.
10. Now let's complete the link: go back to Liberty, type pico number2.html and <ENTER>, and add the line

    <a href="index.html">and this one takes you back</a>

    Return to Netscape and test the links.

    ---

    The links above connect documents in a single subdirectory. If you want to link external resources the URL must be more detailed. Let's add a useful link to number2.html:
11. Go to Liberty again, type pico number2.html, hit <ENTER>, and add this link:

    <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/new">What's New on Yahoo</a>
