How to Make a Web Page

[ Week 1 Activities ]   [ Tool Room ]

Steps for making a web page. 
 
 
1. Start Netscape Communicator.  (if you're reading this on your computer it's already open.)

  
2. Open a file in NetScape Composer:  From the File menu, choose New and then choose Blank Page. Or, click the Composer button (pencil button) on the Component bar. A Composer window opens containing a blank page. 
 

3. Create a web page using basic editing tasks, such as entering text, and formatting characters and paragraphs.  At the top of the Composer page you will see these 2 tool bars:
Compositions Bar 

Use these items to create, open, and save Web pages; perform standard editing tasks; create links and targets; insert images, horizontal lines, and tables; and check spelling. 

Format Bar 

Use these items to format paragraphs; specify fonts, font sizes, and font styles; add text color, and set text alignment. 

 4.  Add a picture to your web page by clicking on the   button.  Choose 'browse' and find the picture file you want to insert. 
5.  Create links to other web pages.  Click the  button and type in the address (URL) for the web page you want to link to.
6.  You may want to set the page color and text colors on your page.  To do that go to the Format menu and choose Page Properties (find it at the bottom of the list).
7.  SAVE YOUR WORK OFTEN.  Go to the File menu, and choose Save.  Be careful to pay attention to where you are saving the file.  Give your file an appropriate name (make it short, meaningful, and with no spaces)

 
8.  Look at your new page by opening it with Navigator. (Go to the File menu, Open, and choose Page in Navigator)   If you want to make changes, go back to Composer and edit.  Be sure to save your work often!

9.  Publish your web page so that others can view it.
