| This page contains the directions needed to begin editing your staff webpage. | ||
| 1. | Start the Netscape Application | Click on  in
the Dock. |
| 2. | Get into the Composer part of Netscape. | This can be done by clicking on small pencil icon in bottom left of Navigator window or Window menu>>Composer or apple-4 |
| 3. | Open your index page (your homepage). | File menu, Open File. When prompted for which file, click
on your home folder icon  ,
then Sites folder, then index.html page. |
| 4. | You are now ready to edit the page. You should see a page that looks like this. |
|
| 5. | Use standard template guidelines. | The main ones to pay attention to are Arial, Helvetica, sans font with a size of -1. This size is already set in the template. Please don't change it. Netscape doesn't have that size as an option. To change text, just select some existing text and then start typing your changes. To add new text, go to the end of an existing line, then type new stuff. Click here to see the complete guidelines. |
| 6. | Layout | Web pages don't allow complicated layout very easily. You need to use tables to put stuff on the page in exact locations. Explore the Table menu to see how it works. |
| 7. | Save and Exit. | When you are finished making any change, be sure to Save the document. |
Use the toolbar
as you would any word processor to edit the text on the page. The center
area
and
the

space
to
add information about you and your class. Feel free to post announcements,
newsletters, homework, or links.
