Hi Tony

This is my re-working of your general series of lessons on 'Making A Web Site'. This is the second 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 you life.

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.

1) Lets get ready! Print out this page to make it easier to follow the instructions.

2) In the previous lesson we used Appleworks. In this lesson don’t use Appleworks, as it creates unseen information that will get in the way of our web document. Instead, open ‘simpletext’ from the Apple Menu , then ‘Applications’ and ‘Simpletext’).

3) In this lesson you will learn to make a 'Contents' page that will open the HTML pages you have already made. These are 'Page 1' (page1.htm) and 'Page 2' (page2.htm).

4) Select and copy, ‘Apple-C’, the text below, starting with <HTML> and ending with </HTML>. This is a web page, pre-made, that puts your two previous page together using ‘links’. These ‘links’s can be clicked on to get to each of your pages.

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Contents</HEAD></TITLE>
<P><B>CONTENTS</B><FONT SIZE=3><BR>
<P>
<H2><A HREF="page1.htm">Making A Web Page</A></H2>
<P>
<H2><A HREF="page2.htm">Making Another Web Page</A></H2>
<P>
Click on 'Making A Web Page' title above. <BR>
Use back button in browser to come back to the CONTENTS page.
</BODY>
</HTML>

5) Copy-paste the above text, using ‘Apple-V’ into this document.

6) Save this document to your 'Website' folder and name it: ‘index.htm’

7) Your page is now finished. You can check if it works now. Open this document from your browser just like we did your previous pages.

In this lesson we have learned to make multiple page documents on the internet. Your pages are not alone as you can now jump between each page. In the next lesson we will look at putting your pages, with the links, on to free web service, Geocities Yahoo.

Any questions or problems email me back. Douglas

Subject: Making A Web Site. 3. Putting your page on the web

Hi Tony

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

Introduction
We will now put the pages created in the desktop folder ‘Website’ on the web. This involves transfering the information from our computer to another that will be the ‘host’. This is exactly the same as adding email attachments, only the file stays on the Yahoo computer for the other person to view.

Setting up a Geocities Free Account
The accounts are free, like Yahoo email. We just need to decide on a name and location on their site. This is called the address. The lesson assumes you have a Yahoo email account. If you do not have one, follow the instructions in the appendix at the end prior to starting this lesson.

1) Open your Netscape or Internet Explorer browser. Check that ‘work offlline is NOT ticked, as we left it the last lesson. This will mean we can connect live, as usual.

2) Enter http://geocities.yahoo.com/home/ in the address window to go to geocities.

3) Select Sign up for a free web site. Fill in personal details as required. For you site name select an name in the computer area and name it something you have already chosen. This part can be tedious as most names are taken. Don’t worry if the name is long. We are not after getting lots of people to visit the site, just to give them the name. If you already have a geocities site then you cannot get another one. In this case use the ‘file manager’ to create a new folder and follow the remaining directions.

4) Click on ‘File Manager’, currently this is in the upper right corner with ‘Easy Upload’, ‘HTML Editor’ and ‘Site Statistics’. We could use one of these to build our site, but we would learn a method that applies only to Yahoo and Geocities. Using the ‘File Manager’ is close to using generally used site access programs.

5) Click on ‘Open File Manager’ to access your new site. Make sure that the top button with ‘Show...HTML...JPG...GIF..Other’ is ticked.

6) Put in the pages we created in the ‘Website’ folder. Click on the ‘Upload files button’ on the right side of the blue lines at top or bottom of the list of files (your files are not there yet, but you will see my point when you put some in. This part is just like adding attachments to emails, only you get to add 5 at a time (much easier!).
7) Click on the ‘Browse’ button to the right of the unfilled boxes and find the desktop folder, then the ‘Website’ folder. In that folder seleect ‘index.htm’ and Open.

8) Repeat for ‘page1.htm’ and ‘page2.htm’ so 3 files show. Now click the ‘Upload’ button. It is small and in the centre below. When you are finished you can upload more files or return to ‘File Manager’. Click the latter, click on ‘File Manager’. You then see the three files listed. Click view to see how the look. Click on index.htm first then on that page click page1.htm and page2.htm in turn. Well done! thats it, you have created a basic web site. Just keep modifying these and updating from the ‘Website’ folder to stay current.

Happy websiting. If it does not work email me at [email protected]
