Hi! My name's Howell Parry, and I live in Manchester, UK.
I discovered The Spring whilst searching for Movies Discussion on Yahoo:
Computers and Internet: Communications and Networking: Bulletin Boards
Spring, The - conversational watering hole. Discussions of Austin, politics, books, music, movies, tv, radio, sports, culture, Jane Austen and other classics.
My hobbies include going to the movies, acting, travelling, learning foreign
languages, learning martial arts and music (listening to, and going to
concerts).
At the moment, my main hobby / interest seems to be movie-making. I'm currently
making a "no-budget" scifi B-movie with some friends using a camcorder. It's
been great fun, and we've even got a "Foiled" web page, that tells you where
we're up to with it:
http://www.hideaway.demon.co.uk/foiled.html
For more information about me, my hobbies, and *LOTS* of related links see my homepage:
http://www.hideaway.demon.co.uk/people/howell/html
Hope to hear from some of you soon......
Howell

Hi! I am a folkartist as you can see by the name I chose to identify myself. I don't have a homepage because I don't know how to make one. I'm that new to the internet and got started doing a little research. I don't know how I found the Spring, but it is a neat place to be because I see a lot of others here and everyone seems to be sharing a lot of different ideas. I would like to direct a question to Terry. I have an address given to me somewhere in the process of signing on the spring and I don't
now how to use it to email you. I get messages that I don't understand. And, I would like to know how to set up a homepage and whether I can do it here on the Spring?

Upgrade to a frames capable browser like Netscape 3.0 or 4.0 or MS Explorer 3.1. You can do this from
Netscapes or Microsofts sites or from http://www.stroud.com in the browsers section.

My page is http://www.well.com/user/bubbles/ and it has some poetry,
some prose, some computer-geek stuff, my resume, and so on.
I'm currently in Silicon Valley, but formerly of Los Angeles.
I tend to choose "bubbles" as an ID on various systems because it's
my circle name in the Radical Fairies and in Paganism in general.
And I actually do go around blowing soap bubbles. Have you ever blown
bubbles on a street corner and watched the reactions of people in
passing cars?

We took some soap bubbles to the last movie we went to and blew quite a
few.

Well just in case jb is still looking out for some cool webdesigning
programmed, I guess the best, to design for an absolute novice
would be the Page editor that comes with Netscape (I don't know
about IE)
My favorite webdesigning programme by far is called
Cyber Studio by a company called Golive, the have a 30 day trial
version on their webpage and if you just want to set up
a simple webpage 30 days should be enough.
This golive is Mac only, just in case you are using a PC ;-)
It is absolutely great, you can log into your server (where you have
you html and picture files floating around ) and just doubleclick a file you want to change and it automatically get's downloaded, when you 've made the changes
you can then just save the file and it gets automatically ftp'd to the
server and automatically replaces the old file it's awesome,
If you have a mac have a look at it.
Anybody out there got any interest in Java?
I just started, but there is so much out there...
Well
my page on the spring doesn't work (I don't know why) but Terry is looking
into it, but if you would like to have a look at my webpage check it out
at www.hardlink.com/~nike
Criticism is welcome
bye

Hi, all! Interests, hobbies...homepage? Ok...not MUCH thought to that! :)
I am a bass guitarist, so, I love music; I'm a sketch artist, and a nurse,
who is presently taking a well-deserved break!
I am also interested in archaeology, paleontology, and astronomy.
I have a big website, called, "The Hippie's Old But Far-Out Loft", and it's
at: http://members.tripod.com/~mercer4peace/index.html
My site promotes World Peace and Tolerance of all beings! I feel that
tolerance is the first step toward world peace.

You're welcome to start a topic here just for your home page and you can
link directly to it from your home page. This gives everyone a chance to
have at least one purely personal topic do whatever they care to do with.

Well... do I assume that noone has created any homepages in the last 5 yrs or have I wandered into the twilight zone? Being directionally impaired, that would be typical for me.
Anyway, in case anyone is reading this, after a long absence from the Spring, I'm back. And, in that absence I learned a little about making a website. I used Frontpage to build mine. You can view it at http://www.spazzdog.com
There are still a couple of things not working properly... I'm trying to figure it out (the guestbook) and the site is in a state of growth but it's out there.
I'm covering sports (of course) with specificity in cycling, running and triathlon (for my multi-tasking friends).
Check it out and let me know what you think.
