As a Platinum or Diamond Member with Case's Ladder, you are given
the ability to create a free homepage with up to 5MB of storage space.
These help pages are not an intensive or a comprehensive guide, but rather
a means to get you started and at the very least, help you in creating a basic homepage !
Click the "User
Editors" link under the "Account" heading on
the left-hand menu on the front page of your Ladders page.
Remember to click the colored text
to see a screenshot!
Log-in (if necessary) and select followed by
You should find yourself at a page where you can select the name
of your account. This does not have to match your player
nickname/account but must be unique. Whatever name you choose will
be the name of your homepage/storage site. (ex: Choosing
account name cuffy will give
you a User Homepage of: https://users.igl.net/cuffy)
Click the "User Editors" link under the "Account" heading on
the left-hand menu on the front page of your Ladders page, as
described above (How do I activate my account?)
When your account is created, a default page is
generated with your account name and E-mail address. You are
free to change this to whatever content you desire (normal
decency and libel laws apply).
Most of you will probably want this page to say something that is a
little more relevant to you. :) If you already have an existing
page that you've created, then visit the 'File Uploads'
page on how to save files on the Case's Ladder User Homepage server. If you
are new to webpages, and HTML is just gobbledygook to you, then
visit the "Create a new
file" page for advice and other resources on getting you
started.
Generally no. There are many ways to create a page that will go on the
web, which method you choose is a matter of how "in depth"
you wish to go.
You can write a webpage in HTML using a text editor (like
Notepad). This will require you to learn the basics of HTML. If you
have an interest in scripting in HTML then you will find some
helpful links to resources and on-line tutorials on the Create a new file
page.
If you have no interest in learning HTML and simply want to get
something on the web then you will need some kind of "editor" program.
There are a variety of editors on the market; some free and some
very expensive! They all, in various forms, work by asking you to
prepare the page as you see it and then they convert "what you see"
to HTML so that once "Uploaded" (see File Uploads
page) all internet users will be able to view your file via their web browser.
Space There is a limit of 5000 kb for each account.
You can keep track of how much space you have via the File Manager
(Screenshot).
If you are unsure how to log into your account see 'How do I access my
homepage/account ?'
