Geocaching - Placing a geocache

Geocaching NSW: Placing a geocache

One of the great things about geocaching is that you can 'give' back to the pastime by placing your own geocaches. Discover some helpful hints to help you with your next hide.

If you’re tired of your geocache listing page looking dull and drab, there are a number of ways you can add colour and formatting.

The simplest approach is to use either a word processor (e.g. Microsoft Word) or an HTML editor (e.g. Dreamweaver) to design your page and save as HTML.

Open the .html file using Notepad or TextEdit and copy the text between the lines <BODY> and </BODY>. Unfortunately, most of these programs create surplus HTML coding, which makes later editing cumbersome and time consuming.

An alternative is to learn HTML coding and use Notepad or TextEdit to create your own. Note: make sure you select plain text, not rich text (RTF) when writing your HTML.
