I see that many people are trying to make their own Personal Web Page here on this site.

For those of you having difficulties I think I can help.
Number one, read the tutorial here.
Personal Page Tutorial

Number two, DO NOT put any apostrophies ' in your web page. They will not work.

Again, do not use any apostrophies '.

If you try to put Joe's web page, it will not work.
You have to put Joes web page without the ' apostrophy...

Give that a try and your web pages will work.

Again, follow the tutorial. Just make your title first and see if that works. Once you get the title working then all you have to do is add your photos.
IMPORTANT:
Keep your photos 640x480
Name them in lowercase .jpg (NOT .JPG)
Before uploading your photos, make sure there are NO spaces or strange characters in the photo title as they will not work properly.
Example:
joes boat.jpg will not work
joes_boat.jpg should upload if the file size is not over the limit.
Do not use quotation marks ", ', #, !, etc.., or the photos will not work properly.
Do not use parenthesis ( ) in the name of the photos or you will not be able to delete the photos later.

To make your photo files smaller or convert them to different formats like .jpg, you will need a helper application.
For Windows users, try Irfanview:
Download Irfranview

For Apple users, try PhotoExpress:
Download PhotoExpress

Apple users can also use iPhoto that is included with their computer. This may also depend on what resolution the photo was taken with and the settings of the camera.

If you need further help, just email me. My email is in my profile.
