Building Your Own Website
Once you have a Supanet Account you will be able to create your very own web site on a subject of your choice, from holiday snaps to an Internet Diary.
A website can be accessed by anybody on the Internet, so if you build a Diary, all of your friends and family can read it and find out how you are doing.
!NOTE: Make sure that no financial information is included in your website, also try to avoid providing information about your location and although it may be tempting it is not a good idea to reveal your primary email address as this could leave you vulnerable to viruses and marketing emails (SPAM).
Worldbuilder2
To aid you in creating your website, Supanet have provided Worldbuilder2, which is a program that runs across the Internet, this means that you do not install it on your PC.
This also means that you can access the program from anywhere that you have Internet Access.
If you have a business, and you are away and find something you need to update on the site, dial up Supanet on any Internet capable PC, click on My Webspace at the top of the page, and then click on Worldbuilder2 to login and build or administer your website.
Login by typing your Supanet account name and password in the fields shown and click the Login button.

Follow the instructions on the left; at some point you may want to leave it for a while, you may need more pictures if you are creating a photo album. At the top of the left hand panel there is a Quit button, pressing this will automatically save your work so that you can come back to it at a later date. You will be able to continue where you left off.
