Create a file named index.html and place it in the folder created above. You can download and unzip this file (index.html) to start your personal web page. You can edit it using SharePoint Designer found in the undergraduate labs.
When you edit the index.html file, you should customize it with information about yourself, links to other WWW pages that you particularly like, and anything you want the world to see. Remember that anyone with access to the Internet will have access to your home page, so do not include information that you do not want strangers to know.
