once you have renamed it to motd.html paste it into a web editor like First Page 2001
http://www.evrsoft.com/ Then you can see exactly how any changes will affect your motd.
Here is mine. Your welcome to use it as a template to get you started, just change the link addresses to reflect your own web space. If your not sure how, just create two folders on your web space. "Images" and "Sounds". Upload any pics to images and any sounds to the sounds folder
Come by our server and see it in action at "efs.nuclearfallout.net:27015"
I hope this helps. I just ask that you dont direct link to my sounds, images, and ss, because i think we are already pushing our bandwidth limit.
When you get it to you liking, save it, or rename it to motd.txt
