Center Field Software Webpage Help

How do I create A web page?

Center Field Software provides no extra support for building web pages.  
If you have problems with html we suggest that you purchase a third-party
package such as "Homesite" , "Adobe WebPage" or America Online's "AOL Press"
(which is free for all AOL users!!). 

Creating reports for HTML with Grand Slam and other Center Field software
products is a breeze and takes no additional steps on your(the user's) end.
CFS Products support built in FTP to upload your reports easily. This
help is for users who would like to customize their webpages.

A note about keeping sports/leagues separate
If you have more than one sport with us you'll need to place a link page
as your index.html.  This allows one main page to easily link
your different sports, or leagues for that matter.  

The url for such a directory might look like: http://www.cfld.com/~username/al/index.html

The index.html of your root directory might look like this :

My Sport Page!
My baseball Page [link]
My basketball Page [link]

Your baseball link would point to your baseball directory...and so on.

We are trying to improve this process but it is still up to the customer to provide valid pages.

For questions or help please contact webmaster@cfld.com

How do I ftp my files to your server?

a 3rd party ftp client or you can use our software which has ftp built
in.  You will the following information for either method. (Internet
