Building a Web Page

Steps to Create a Home Page
by..Dick Travis

Call your ISP and have them set up a directory with your userid & password
...or contact any ISP that is offering FREE WEB PAGES and follow directions
Use any edit program you like to create the page, such as Netscape Composer, Microsoft Frontpage Editor, Homesite or even Notepad. Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher and many other word processors now have HTML conversion as a regular feature.
This page is being created by Netscape Composer
When finished...File/Save as...whatever you want to call your file.
Generally your initial Home Page will have the name of "index.html"
You can test your page (off-line) by running any browser, clicking on File/Open and browsing your hard disk to find the file you just created & opening it in the browser.
In some cases, like Microsoft Frontpage you can just click on Review and the page will appear in the browser.
Transferring the "new file" to your ISP can be done in several ways:
1) Use a file transfer program (WS-FTP) for Windows users.
2) Follow the directions on "Publishing" your "new file" for Microsoft Frontpage users and some Free ISP's.
Once uploaded to your ISP, you can type in the URL of your new site on any browser and you have created your Home Page on the Internet.

The following is an example of a new "Home Page" created by NOTEPAD:

<html>
<head>
<title>
My Home Page
</title>
</head>
<body>
This is the Body of My Homepage where all the text and pictures will appear...
The next area will demonstrate a LINK to the ADNC home page!

If you want to see the ADNC Home Page,
<a href "http://www.adnc.com>Click Here!!</a>

The next paragraph will demonstrate the inclusion of a picture file:
I just received this picture (a jpg file) from a friend!
<img src="evolution.jpg">
Note: Using Netscape Composer, I just browsed my hard disk and clicked on the picture I wanted and it coded it for me!!!
<hr>

The above horizontal line was put in automatically by Netscape Composer, when I click on an ICON in the program, but the actual code is very simple......just <hr>....

OK, that's enough for the basics,
We need to close with the following commands in HTML
</body>
</html>
That's it...Have fun with developing your own pages!!!
