We
will begin by opening Front Page Editor and selecting the template that you
want to use.
We will take a brief look at the toolbar and menus.
As we do this, we will experiment with the various menus and
dialogue boxes. |
|
 |
From
there, we will decide on the font.
Fonts can only be “seen” by a browser that has that font on the
hard drive.
For example:
the font CRAYON
can not be seen by all browsers because we do not all have this font
loaded on our hard drives.
Keep this in mind if you ever decide to use an unusual or cute font.

We are now ready to type in our
information and create our links.
 |
The following links will help you
review how to create internal links and hyperlinks:
|
 |
Internal links are links that
will take you to a different part of the same document.
|
 |
Hyperlinks will take you to other
documents. You can use them
to create a way for others to email you. You can use them to link to
other pages on the WWW. |
|
|
 |
Once we have added our content, we will add any
graphics that we want to use. Because
we are using templates, we will not need to add a lot of graphics.
Once you have found the graphics you want to use on your web site,
you can save them by right clicking if using a PC or holding the mouse
button down if you are using a MAC and then choosing “save picture as”
on the menu that pops up. I strongly suggest that you have a file on your
computer where all of your images will be stored.
This will make it easy for you to find your images once you are ready
to use them.
 |
The following links will lead you
to sites where you can select graphics: Some will have links to other
graphics galleries.
|
 |
These
are just three examples of the many, many sites that have web site
graphics. |
 |
Make sure to read any restrictions that are posted on the site where you
get your graphics. We want
to obey all copyright laws. We
also want to respect the wishes of the person or persons who create the
graphics. |

 |
As we work on our document, we will be saving our work.
All of your files will be saved on a disk or on your hard drive.
If you are posting your page on your ISP’s server using a personal
account, you will need to contact them for information about setting up your
site. If this will be posted on
a school website/server, you will need to contact your Technology
Coordinator for information on posting your web site.
