    Abstract: Pages of a web site can be selectively altered or added by remote users, by e-mailing updates to a computer configuration that supports the site. The web site comprises hypermedia produced from data organised in a hierarchical file structure with hyperlinks corresponding to the hierarchy of the file structure. An electronic mail message is constructed, addressed to a computer configuration, by clicking on a hyperlink in the web site. The e-mail automatically is provided with the address of the computer configuration together with file location data for placing the web page data into a predetermined position in the hierarchical file structure. The user places web page data corresponding to an update to be included in the web site, into the e-mail. The e-mail is then mailed to the computer configuration where the web page data is included in said hierarchical file structure according to the file location data.
