and folders in your current web.
Click
on the Navigation Icon to the left.
The
Navigation window shows in pictures what the structure of your web looks
like…kind of a graphic organizer.
Your
homepage is indicated by a little house and in a minute you will import the page
you have already done into your web. But first let’s add the other pages, one
for each of the places we want to visit.
The
easy way is to click on Homepage, hold down the control key and press N for new.
Do this four times…and you have four new pages!
Title

Click
on OPEN

asked if you want to save the embedded files (those are the pictures you
inserted) say OK
You
will see them appear in your folder list…I usually click on each one and drag
it into the image folder.
Let's
connect one of our pages to the Homepage. How about going to London?
In
the folder view double click on London
Lets
put a picture on the page
Go
back to that site you minimized earlier
Go
to Landmarks…. Parliament…. enlarge the picture…. right click on the
picture and SAVE AS…give your file a name and make sure you are saving it to
the desktop.

you can type anything you want to the left.
Highlight
the word London
This box opens up
In this case we will not be connecting to a URL but
to a page in our web
Click on
London.htm (your page)
London.htm appears in the URL box
Click OK
Now
when you look at your page word London is a different color and underlined. This
indicates that it is linked to another location.
You
know enough now to go forth and build your own web!
Unless
you have a place to actually publish your web to, you can read over these steps
but don’t do them.
Go
to File…Publish Web or click the Publish Web Button
This
is where you will specify the location on the World Wide Web, or your district
intranet to which you want to publish your web.
If
you do not have one, by clicking on WPP’s you can locate and sign on with one.
