HOW TO…

Create a webpage

1.  Launch Netscape Navigator

2.  Click File then New then Composer Page

3.  Use lots of “white space” and create a page with links, colors, contact info, etc.

4.  Click save. First page should be saved as “index”. This is the first page that will show up when people log onto www.sas.upenn.edu/~carrolld.

5.  Additional pages may be saved as different names

6.  Launch FileZilla

7.  Open the html folder

8.  Find your webpage file where you saved it on your local computer and select.

9.  Click “choose” and “ok” and the file will show up in the html folder.

To include a picture

1.  Find a picture (I usually do an image search on google)

2.  Right click on the image and select “copy image location”

3.  In Netscape Composer, click the “Image” button and paste the image location into the textbox. (Fill in purposeful “alternate text” if picture is serving a purpose.)

4.  To save the picture to the remote site, right click the image and select “save as”. Save as jpeg or gif and use filezilla to upload it to the remote site like any other file.

To include an email link without danger of getting SPAMMED

1.  Open up “Enkoder” file on blackboard site. Fill in required info (email address, text to be shown, and message to show instead of email address). Copy the entire html code.

2.  Click where you want the link to show on your page while in Composer. Click “Insert” button and select “HTML”. Paste the html code into the text box and click “Insert”. This will not show up in the composer window, but if you save the page as a file, you can check that it shows up on the webpage by opening the file from Navigator.

To link to another webpage

1.  Highlight what you want the link to be. Then click the “Link” button.

2.  Type the web address for the page you want to link to.

To link to another page created by you

1.  Use FileZilla to download 2nd page to local computer if necessary. Make any necessary changes and save to local computer.

2.  Use FileZilla to upload changed page to remote site.

3.  Highlight where you want the link to be. Click “Link”.

4.  Enter the file name with html extension into the Link Location box and click OK. There should be no preliminary letters/symbols. As long as the file is saved in the remote html folder, all that is needed is the name.

To link to downloadable documents

1.  Save the documents on local computer as Word documents.

2.  Use FileZilla to upload these to remote site.

3.  Right click each file and make sure permissions are checked to allow public to read.

4.  In Composer, highlight the text that will be used as a link. Click Link.

5.  In the Link Location box, type only the filename with .doc extension.

6.  Remember to save each webpage as it is changed. Also upload the new page to FileZilla so it can work on-line.
