I am new to Brinkster how do I start creating my site Articles

To begin using your Brinkster hosting account, login using the Customer Login button at www.Brinkster.com. You will end up in the Control Panel, which is the main area for your Brinkster account. You may want to begin by going to Website Settings to view all the information specific to your account, for example, FTP server information, or your default website address.

You can use the File Manager to upload files from your computer. The upload button can be found in the top menu bar in File Manager.

You can also create new pages by clicking the "new" link, then select this file from the file list on the left. Next use the file manager tools to add content or click the source tab and then write your own code.
For help with writing code try this link: http://www.htmlgoodies.com

To remove the "Under Construction" page from your site you need to remove the default.htm that contains "Under Construction" and then replace it with your main page. The page will be named either "default.htm" or "index.htm" and is found in your webroot folder (or public_html folder for Linux accounts).

You will need to name your main home page one of the following:
(Please be sure you have only ONE, and they will load in this order.)

default.htm
default.html
default.asp
default.php
index.htm
index.html
index.asp
index.php
default.aspx
default.asmx
index.aspx
index.asmx
