Following is basic information about creating your own web page in a very abbreviated form. Please refer to the Learning Resource Services Web Development site at SCSU for more elaborate instructions and internet software tools.
Netscape Navigator - a browser to view information on the Internet
SimpleText - a no-frills word processing application for use on the Macintosh
useful for writing HTML code for web pages
Adobe Photoshop - a valuable image-editing application for making images Web-ready
Fetch - a program which allows one to upload data
to a web server to hold it for public viewing
Open Netscape Navigator 4.x and browse to find a page that interests you.
Under View menu, select "View Document Source". This will automatically
launch SimpleText to view the HTML source code.
Replace the existing code with your own information (text and image names) to
appear on the page, primarily in the areas between the tags. Save your first
file as index.html.
Check to see how your code looks by going to File…"open file" in the
Netscape Navigator 3.0 menu and navigating to your index.html file. Adjust as
necessary to complete the page.
The above procedure allows you to see the file's appearance running off of the
hard drive or zip drive temporarily. To make the file viewable on the web, you
must tap into your e-mail account and make a public folder to house your files.
Uploading is the opposite of downloading; rather than get information, you put information. To upload information to the web, you must do the following: Open Fetch and connect to "tigger.stcloudstate.edu", then enter your userid and password. Finally, under Directories menu, enter "Create new directory…" and call it "public_html". Whenever you put files to your web site, enter them into this newly created public directory.
To access your web page, you need to enter the following information in the
Netsite address: "http://tigger.stcloudstate.edu/~userid/index.html".
Note: To enter the numbers for colors, please refer to my web book or go to

a set of numbers to work your colors with.
