Build your FOTW mirror site

After you built your local copy of FOTW website, you may make it available to the Internet community as a FOTW mirror.
You can put your banner (or the banner of the organization that hosts the site) on all the FOTW pages as follows:

Prepare your banner as a gif file
Name it linea2.gif
Put the file in the /images directory

You can not

modify the contents of FOTW pages and images
put thirdy-party advertisement on FOTW pages (e.g. you cannot put thirdy-party logos and advertisement in linea2.gif file)
sell the access to FOTW pages and images

Make your mirror an official one

After your mirror site is set up and freely visitable, you may add it to the list of the FOTW official mirror site: send a message to the FOTW Director and you will receive monthly updates of pages and images thru e-mail. Your only duty will be to keep the mirror up to date.
