QBW Newsletter
Uploading The Newsletter to the QBW Website
Preparation for Uploading
Before uploading the Newsletter, ensure the
following:
a) The Newsletter PDF document is in the newsletr
folder of the QBW_Website folder.
b) The Newsletter's name is in the format of NewsYYYYMM, where YYYY is the year and MM is the month.
c) Change the newsletr.html file in the QBW_Website folder so that
there is a link to the new Newsletter.
How To Open up Geocities to Upload Files
1. Go to http://geocities.yahoo.com/ (New Web Page Opens)
2. Click on Sign In, under current Customers, in the top right area (New Web Page Opens)
3. Insert the Yahoo ID and Password
4. Click on Sign In (New Web Page Opens)
5. Click on the Manage tab (New Web Page Opens)
6. Click on File Manager in the "File Management Tools" box
(New Web Page Opens)
7. Click on Open File Manager (New Web Page Opens)
This opens the File Manager page from where you can upload,
delete or add files to the QBW website. The files and folders that you
can see on the page are in the same hierarchal structure as in the QBW_Website
folder on the computer.
Uploading the Newsletter PDF document
(Normally I upload the Newsletter PDF document first to the
appropriate folder in the Geocities website and then the updated
newsletr.html file.)
8. After doing Steps 1 to 7 above, click on the newsletr folder on the
File Manager page. You should see the list of Newsletter
PDF documents that are already on the website.
9. Click on Upload Files
10. Click on Browse and navigate to the QBW_Website folder on the
computer and then the newsletr folder where the NewsYYYYMM.pdf
document is.
11. Double click on NewsYYYYMM.pdf. The pathway to the Newsletter should now be in the text box beside the Browse button.
12. Click on Upload Files. Geocities uses it own uploader and will upload the newsletter. It may take a minute or so as it is a large file.
After it has been uploaded a new web page will come up saying in part (hopefully)
"Upload results
NewsYYYYMM.pdf
_ Uploaded successfully"
Now To Upload the newsletr.html File
After doing 1 to 12 above
13. Click on File Manager
14. Click on Up one level. (if you only see the folders and not the
files, click on Refresh File Manager).
15. Click on Upload Files.
16. Click on Browse and navigate to where the newsletr.html file is
on the hard drive in the QBW_Website folder (usually just up one level).
17. Double click on the newsletr.html file. The pathway to the file should now be in the text box beside the Browse button
18. Click Upload Files. Again hopefully
"Upload results
newsletr.html
_ Uploaded successfully"
will show up.
How To Check Everything is OK
Click on File Manager
Click on View next to newsletr.html. The newsletter web page
will open up in another window. You can click on the hyperlink and check that the Newsletter
document downloads correctly. Close the window when finished.
Remember to click Refresh File Manager on the Geocities web page if no files show up in the folder even though there should be some present.
To sign out click sign out near the top of the File Manager web page.
