There are software editing programs such as Claris Homepage, Pagemill and Netscape Gold. Homepage and Pagemill are commercial programs which must be purchased. Netscape Gold may be downloaded free by students, educators or non-profit users. Using these three programs is similar to creating documents with a word processor. A file is opened or created.
Text is added or other items are inserted into the opened file.
The file is saved to the hard disk and backed up on a floppy. The saved file then is up-loaded to the MCS server where it replaces the existing homepage file. For those who know HTML code any webpage may be viewed as a document source. It can then be edited just as a text file. HTML consists of a set of tags.
