You must not use your web space for 'data warehousing' - using the space as storage for large files which are only linked from other sites. You must provide a reasonable amount of content to accompany such material in order that at least some of the traffic to your site comes directly via us.

A valid email must remain on your page(s) or it will be removed.

Pages are subject to removal, if there is no activity (hits or edits) on the page for 60 days.

Topic Two
Putting a Counter on your page

To insert a counter onto your page you need to put the following code

Where "username" is replaced by the username you have chosen for Fortunecity and the "xxx" is replaced by a unique three digit number of your choice. If my username is "Homer" then my counter code would be as follows

You can have as many counters on as many different pages as you want, as long as each one has a different three digit number to identify it. If you username has spaces in it such as "Homer Simpson" then the spaces must be replaced by a full stop (.) in the counter code, otherwise the counter will not work correctly

Topic Four
How do I use FTP to trasfer my files

First of all you need an FTP program such as Cute_FTP or Fetch. If you do not have one you can get them for free from Shareware.com.

If you have the program you must use the following details:

Hostname - ftp.fortunecity.com
USERNAME/ID - your FortuneCity USERNAME
PASSWORD - your FortuneCity PASSWORD

You will be dropped directly into your folder, where you can upload, download, delete and rename your files. You cannot create subdirectories.

If you have more than one home (using the same USERNAME), the FTP client will only recognise that you have one and you will have to upload to the other using the File Manager.

If you do not have an FTP application, you can FTP using Netscape 2.0 or above. To do this enter the following URL in the location bar

ftp://UserName:[email protected]

ie. If your details are as follows

USERNAME - cyberdude PASSWORD - abc123

You would put the following URL

ftp://cyberdude:[email protected]

To upload files simply drag them into the Netscape window and they will upload automatically.

If you have any further questions please contact [email protected]

Topic Five
Last but not least is the question most asked

I can' view my page when I click on my link.

Most often then not people forget the fact as stated in both the FAQ and the Welcome letters that you must title you foremost front page index.html for you and others to be able to find your page from the street. If your page is not titled this then neither you nor anyone else will be able to access you page

If you need further help and either do not get a prompt response from support staff or would rather request help from one of your District Ministers feel free to contact any of us at any given time and we will do our best to do what we can to help you or find out from another source the information that you need. Sometimes Support staff is quite bogged down with other things so your best bet might be to try us first as we are more likely to be able to get the information for you quicker than they might. You can find all of our e-mail addresses in any number of places such as the Newsletter page...the Front Page of the District in the Village or on any of our Minister pages.
