COMPUTERS

This week one of the partners at work brought in his home machine because the usual machine he used was being repaired. Why is this of interest?, because I needed a machine to work on and he was out on friday. Guess what? right, I got to try out the new Apple 17" Imac. This is the one with the half soccer ball used as the base for an anglepoise lamp arm to hold a very nice flat screen, that is huge! Great so I was alittle excited.

WHAT I USE

Apple computers are the main machines I use. I use PCs in some offices and have a PC laptop (which I hope to sell). Mostly my computer work is about CAD software, Vectorworks for Apple Mac and PC and Microstation for PC. I also use Dreamweaver for making these web pages and Photoshop for retouching images at work and from my (Nikon) digital camera. I also use a Fuji digital camera for snapshots, but that does not get much use, so not much Photoshop there. It is necessary to use the evil Microsoft occasionally, Internet Explorer for web browsing, Outlook Express for email, Word for documents and Excel for spreadsheets. I got quite good with Powerpoint (at a previous office-BDP) and made an interactive presentation.

Other than the above my use is mostly working around applications from time to time, exploration rather than a serious use. Macromedia Director was for making CD based interactive shows but it is no longer relevant with web prevalence. I use Freehand and Painter very occasionally for drawing (not that I can really put my hands on the drawings)

Learn only as much as necessary, and that you can use regularly. That is my motto after grunting along with programs that did not find their way into my everyday world.


PAST MACHINES

My first computer was an Apple IIcx with 8mb of ram and and 100mb hard drive. This was possible because I bought it, along with an Apple 14" crt monitor second hand in the USA. It was the same mail order shop where brother-in-law Doug Kelly bought his, and he made the recommendation that I do the same.

Hi Tony

This is my re-working of your general series of lessons on 'Making A Web Site'. This is the first of three lessons on making a web site.

Introduction
You will know how to type enough to send emails, but you find that sometimes you need to send email to alot of people at once. This is the time to start thinking about your own web page. This page will have information that will be of interest to a number of people in your life.

The first lesson is to convert a page of text, say an email you have saved, to ‘html’ so that it can be read by the web browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer). Then we will test viewing the page on the browser and then try a second page. The second lesson will be to take some pre- written text, called ‘html code’ and view our pages on the browser as a multi-page document. The Third lesson is to create a new free web site on Yahoo Geocities and put our work there to check that it works.

Follow the step by step approach below. If you find that something does not work, check previous steps for accuracy. If you find the instruction vague, or not working email me.


Making a Web Page using AppleWorks
To make a web page we will use the application (program) Appleworks for the Apple Macintosh computer. We will then use the program to convert our work to the ‘.htm’ format that can be read by a web browser, and finally, we will check that our page works by using the browser to view our page.

1) Do you have a text only document you can use? If you do follow he steps to create your first web page. If you do not have a text only document you can use this one. Open an AppleWorks text onlydocument.

2) We need to change the fonts to ones that work on the web, so select all using the Apple- A keys or picking ‘Select All from the ‘Edit’ menu in Appleworks. Now we can make any actions effect all the text. Choose ‘Verdana’ from the font pull down menu or from the ‘Font’ Menu. Verdana works well on the internet.

3) Save your work. We are going to now change this Appleworks document to an HTML page for view on web browsers. Create a folder called ‘Website’ on the desktop.

4) Go back to your document and select ‘Save As’ from the ‘File’ menu. Don’t click ‘Save’ yet. We need to change the document type from ‘Appleworks’ to’HTML’. Use the pull down menu at the bottom to do this, then find your desktop folder called ‘Web page’ and save your page there with the name ’page1.htm’. You now have a web ready document.

5) We want to check our work so open either ‘Netscape’ or ‘Internet Explorer’ browser. Open either program and check that ‘work offline’ is selected under the file menu. This ensures that the browser will not try and connect to the web.

6) Select ‘Open’ from the ‘File’ menu and open the ‘page1.htm’ document you created from the 'Website' folder on the desktop. It should be viewable. If not email me. As an alternative you can drag the page icon from the folder ‘Website’ over the open page.

7) Try producing another document, to do this, repeat the steps used above but name the saved Appleworks HTML document as ‘page2.htm’ in the desktop folder you named ‘Website’.

In this lesson you have created two pages that can be viewed on the internet using standard web browsers, Netscape and Internet Explorer. Making a page can be fun, so why not try converting some other text-only pages to html. You can save them to another folder as we will be using your new ‘Website’ folder on the desktop for our next lesson, making multiple page documents on the internet. Your pages will not be alone. With the next lesson you will be able to jump between each page, or more!
