web page or multipage web site. When you re finished, you can customize your pages with
your own words and pictures. When you re ready to show your creations to the world, we ll
show you how to publish to your Yahoo! account.
We understand that building a site can seem intimidating, so we encourage you to have fun:
Take some time to experiment with SiteBuilder s features, try out the Site Creation Wizard a
few times, and explore the SiteBuilder User Guide. Then start building!
Getting Started with SiteBuilder
Now that you ve become familiar with your SiteBuilder Control Panel and learned a little
about SiteBuilder s features, don t hesitate to get started. SiteBuilder is as flexible as you
are: You ll be able to create, customize, and delete pages or an entire web site
anytime.
1. Import or Create a Site
If you ve already built a web page or site with another tool, such as Yahoo! PageBuilder or
Microsoft FrontPage, you can import it from your Web Hosting account into Yahoo!
SiteBuilder, then edit and publish it just as you d work with a brand new site.
To open an existing web site, select Open Site... from the File menu and follow the
instructions provided.
Note: Please be advised that Yahoo! SiteBuilder offers only
limited support for web sites built with tools other than Yahoo!
SiteBuilder or Yahoo! PageBuilder that incorporate HTML and/or
other programming languages. If any web pages in your web
site were not originally built with these tools, Yahoo! SiteBuilder
will import those pages without modifying them and do its best
to interpret the pages correctly, preserving their original
content, formatting, and layout. However, you should be sure to
check all of your pages carefully for errors before saving.
Please be aware as well that web sites imported into Yahoo!
SiteBuilder will no longer be editable in Yahoo! PageBuilder or
other site wizards or software. If you are concerned about being
able to edit your web site using another site building tool later,
