1. How to create your html files?

1. Open Netscape. Click Communicator, then open Page Composer. (By now you should have a "steering wheel" icon and "pen" icon at the bottom of your screen. If you see both icons, you are ready to go.)
2. Write on Page Composer the same way you write on a Word Document. Save the file using File, Save As.
3. To add a line: click the line icon at the Tool Bar.
4. To add a background color: Click Format, Background to choose the color you like. (Reminder: the background color should not be too dark, or bright, or colorful. Or busy. Choose something subtle. People want to read your content not just admire the background color.)
5. To add an image: Click Insert, Image. (A page should not have too many images because they could take a long time to appear on the screen(to be uploaded), or they distract people's attention from your content. Since your web viewers can not see you, sometimes images define who you are. In the beginning, we should pay more attention to the content. In the future, when you are more skillful you may do search in the Web and find the right images to represent your self.)
6. To make a hyper link: Click Insert ; Click Browse to choose the file you would like to make the link to; click O.K.; Save. You will not see hyper links work on the Page Composer, but after you upload the files into Angelfire.com, the links will work.
