Use your place in cyberspace to tell the world a bit about yourself, your interests, your family. Or you can even use it to set up a business presence on the Internet. It's no problem if you don't know anything about creating a Web page — our free online page builder, Click-n-Build, makes building one as easy as clicking your mouse.

The Personal Start Page makes it incredibly simple to get all the latest news you're interested in: sports scores, weather forecasts, stock quotes, maps and directions, and a great selection of the Web's top resources. There's also an automatic email indicator, personal reminders, a collection of powerful search tools, and more. And you get to choose what you want, where you want it. Get the Internet YOUR way.

7. Free Internet Access
Lots of EarthLink members have already enjoyed months of free Internet access. That's right — free! How? It's easy! Because our Free Access Program rewards satisfied EarthLink members for spreading the word about us. Every time you refer a friend who joins EarthLink, you get credit for one month of Internet access. Refer two friends, get two months. Three friends, three months. Just have your friends mention your EarthLink username when they sign up — it's that easy! And we make it even easier by sending you referral cards with your new member Welcome Package once you join.

8. All the Best Internet Software — FREE
Not only does our EarthLink software package make getting online as fast and easy as possible, it also comes loaded with everything you need to get the most out of the Internet. You get the latest Netscape and Microsoft Web browser suites with HTML-mail capable email programs, the most exciting multimedia plug-ins and helpers — like RealPlayer, Shockwave, QuickTime, and Adobe Acrobat reader — a full-featured HTML editing program, and other valuable goodies.

And we've also added our own multimedia tutorials, help files, and support wizard to make sure that everything about signing up with EarthLink and using the Internet is as easy as possible. We'll mail you EarthLink and all the other Internet software in your Welcome Package. You can also download a copy of EarthLink now!

9. Chat: Real-Time, Real Cool
One of the most popular activities on the Internet, chat is something that will be easy to enjoy when you join EarthLink. Through your Personal Start Page, you'll get access to About.com chats for 500 popular subject areas (as well as chats on other Web channels). And you don't need any special software to participate — you chat right in your Web browser! And all EarthLink members can also send instant messages to each other (even friends and family outside EarthLink) by downloading an instant messaging program like ICQ, PeopleLink, or Yahoo! Messenger — free. With these programs, you'll know instantly when your friends and coworkers are online and you'll be able to carry on real-time conversations with them.

12. We'll Let Your Friends Know You've Moved
To help make your move to EarthLink Sprint as easy as possible, we designed a free service that helps you tell your family, friends, and associates on the Web your new EarthLink email address. When you set up your EarthLink account, our easy installation software will automatically generate a change of email address notification to everyone currently in your email address book. This feature works with most major Internet service providers and email programs. If you don't have an address book or if you just want to send your new email address to certain people, you can do that, too. Just visit the member benefits area of our Web site. Enter your full name, the EarthLink username you chose when you registered, and the email addresses of everyone you'd like to notify. Then click the Show Message button to see the full text of the notifications. You'll also have an opportunity to write a personal message that can be added to the notifications. It's that simple.
