After three months of user betatesting, American Online finally opened its website facilities to the membership at-large. This allows each member to create a virtual BBS accessible to anyone on the Internet. This allows users to create a resume-type page in minutes using a scripted dialog. Photos, graphics, and sound can also be added. These pages are stored in a WAIS database which other AOLers or internauts can access through keywords.
Members can even create and their own custom HTML webpages.
AOL connects the subscriber to their directory, and automatically assigns them the necessary permissions for uploading. After that, it is simply a matter using the AOL FTP dialog to transfer files to your directory. The dialog needs work, though. There is no batch transfer feature. Each file has to transferred one by one.
