How to edit home page |
The first thing is you need a
completed copy of communicator
(include page composer). If
you didn't have one, you can go here
to download a professional edition.
It is free and it is the latest
version. (If
you version is too old, you better to have a new one)
2. Connect to internet
Go to the page you want to edit. For
example, I want to edit Hsiehs page.
I activate communicator
and go to our home page and click
on the "Hsiehs" then Hsiehs
page will show in the
screen.
3. Edit Page
Under "File" menu, you will find "Edit
Page", click on it then
the netscape composer with the page
you wish to edit will show
up.
If you only want to add some text,
you can only type what you
want to say on that page.
If you want to really edit your page,
there are a lot of tools shown
on the tool bar you can use. Just
like you are working with
microsoft office.
The "image" icon can let you insert a picture, it is a interesting one.
You can try what you want, but two
things you need to keep
in mind:
a. When you insert a picture, try to keep the file size small.
b. Everybody is easy to get in this home page not just us,
so the personal information, such as phone number,
are better not show here.
4. Preview
After you finish your work, you can
preview your page by clicking the
"Preview" icon on the tool bar.
You may be asked to save the
file. Just save it then you can see the
preview. ( you better save with
the original filename, see point 5)
If there is any thing you want
to change, you just go back to
composer and make the changes
than save again.
5. Publish
If everything is O.K., then you can publish
it to the world wide web.
You can click on the "Publish" icon
on the tool bar or in the "File"
menu. A dialog will show up:
a. "Page Title: Hsieh"
Here shows the name of page you want to edit.
Normally, it always shows up automatically.
b. "HTML Filename: ming.htm"
Here shows the filename you edited.
Normally, it always shows up automatically.
The filename is usually case sensitive, that mean they only
read in low case. So type them in the low case.
( ming.htm not Ming.Htm).
Every page has its own filename, here they are:
Main page : index.html ( be careful!! it is "html" not
htm.
there is one "l" different)
C.J. : cj.htm
( no "l")
Chien-nan : nan.htm
Yu-Fang : yu.htm
Fine : fine.htm
Yi-Li : li.htm
Wen-Li : wen.htm
Hsieh : ming.htm
c. "HTTP or FTP location to publish to"
Type the following account into this area;
ftp://ftp.fortunecity.com/
should be exactly like this. Be careful, the last "/" is
very important, don't forget it.
d. "User name and Password"
I will send these information to you by e-mail.
e. "other files to include"
The last part is about the files which your page need will
be uploaded with your page.
Normally, you choose "select none", except you have added
some image file, then only choose the file you added.
( ignore the files whose directory is from this home page)
f. Click OK.
you are set. Go to www to enjoy your creature.
7. After you update your page, you should write a note
in " somthing to tell
you" in the bulletin board
of main page by the same method, tell us go to
see your page.
8. If you have any question, you can call or e-mail me or fine.
