Create A Web Site -Week 2 tiips

Howdy

Just some info and a tip or two...

1. For those of you that use a PC, and are running the Komodo Edit portable App from your Flash Drive! I made some illustrated instructions in case you run into the problem where It appears Komodo Edit Portable didn't shut down cleanly and the host folder is missing...

You'll find the instructions here

2. When you are trying out a new tag / element start off with a "blank" .html page with just the basic web page info like you'll find in the file Basic-htmlpage.html (it's in the "YourWeb-Site) folder on the CD or your master Web-Site folder if you copied it to your flash drive...

Once you understand how the element works you can copy and paste it into your index.html page

eg (You can cut and paste this into your editor... )

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>A Test "html" Element Page</title>
</head>
<body>

<img src="images/web.jpg" alt="A Small spider web "logo, for the Create A web Site Class" width="150" height="100" />

</body>
</html>

3. If you are intimidated or frustrated using a "text" editor to make a web page, in other words you are the creative type, take a look at the Web Edit program Kompozer... It's available for both the PC and Mac, Just check out the appropriate folder PC-programs or Mac-Programs on the Class CD I gave you.
Kompozer is under development led by Fabien Cazenave as an open source WYSIWYG Web Editor (Works like a word processor)... I use Kompozer when I want to quickly lay out a page visually...
Give it a try, have fun and as usual, 'holler (post) if you have a question!

PS I also added some "copyright" info for those of you that will be displaying photos, and art on your web pages that you want/need to copyright...There is a new link on the Class Home Web Page...
Tip
If you don't see new links on the class web pages, click the refresh button on your browser...
You never lnow what kind of new treasure you might find.
