ROBIN'S WEB PAGE LESSONS
I will show you how to get started on making a web page.
I will also start you out on how to add pictures,clipart, backgrounds, sound, graphs, forms,and various other ways of making your web page interesting and easy to navigate!
This will be fun and easy so pour yourself a cup of coffee and let's get started!
LESSON ONE
First of all, you will have to get some web space...this is called web hosting!
You can go to places like http://www.yahoo.com to get FREE web space!
Now, if you want your "OWN .COM" you will need to buy a domain name and then get web hosting also...http://www.yahoo.com can also do this for you. I believe it would be the cheapest way to go...they have 3 different hosting packages all with your own domain name.
But look around on your own...I don't want to steer you wrong!
Do a search on your favorite search engine, you may come up with a better deal!
LESSON TWO
Now then, the second thing to do is starting to write in html...very Easy! Just some people like to use all that computer language that will scare the normal type person away! First find your Windows NotePad text editor. Open your Windows NotePad text editor. The best thing to do is start with understanding what the different tags to use are. When you begin a web page the first thing you type is: when you end the page you will type is the command which prepares your browser to read the HTML language. Just in case you're wondering, HTML stands for hyper-text-markup-language . Now,use your text editor and type in the command to begin html. Now for the tricky part. Inside your text editor, click on FILE SAVE AS Select a directory where you will save your school files. Once you have selected a directory on your drive, you must give the file a name to save it by. Let's name this file: one.htm Remember you must type in the .htm yourself or your text editor will save it as a .txt file and you want it saved as a .htm file. Now you type in:
**** when you end your heading you will type in This is where you will type in your page's title... So now lets add:LESSON THREE
Open the browser of your choice and prepare to type text into your browser 'location bar'. That is the place where normally you would type a web address that you plan to visit. Rather than typing a world wide web address into your location bar, we are going to type the location on one of your DRIVES in which you have stored your one.htm file. For example, if you created a directory on your main harddrive called "school", you would type the following into your location bar: C:/School/one.htm If your file is stored on a floppy disk, you would type the following: A:/one.htm Where ever you have chosen to store your one.htm document, you can get to it using your browser by beginning with the drive letter (such as C) followed by a colon ( : ), followed by slash [ / ], followed by the name of the directory (if any), followed by the name of the file (one.htm).
LESSON FOUR
OK,Now we're getting to the fun part,IMAGES!
The command to place an image or graphic on your webpage is :
Remember to upload your image file to your web space!
LESSON FIVE
There are 3 basic steps to produce a hyper-link. The first step will be the hyper command and the location to which you are linking: Following the command brackets for the location of the hyperlink you would place the text that you wish to be hyperlinked to that address: Text to Link And finally you would place a hyperlink stop-sign command after the text. Text to Link
LESSON SIX
The final commands on your web document are stop signs. Stop body command, stop html command. Too Easy.
