TO CREATE A HOME PAGE back to top
The home page is the front door to your Web site. Greeting your visitors as you might do in person and providing some information about the content or subject matter of your site will spark interest in the people looking at your site. The home page also contains links to the other pages in a web.

1.      On the blank page in Page view, type the title of your site and then press ENTER.
Just like in a word processor, pressing ENTER puts the cursor on a new line.

2.      Next, type a sentence about the purpose of your site

Next, you will add a picture to the bottom of the current page. Pictures can be scanned photographs, drawings, or computer graphics created in a drawing or image-editing program.

Create a new page back to top
Create a new page in a web, or create a stand-alone HTML page. Microsoft FrontPage includes a variety of templates to help you create different kinds of pages:

• Create a blank page.
• Create a page with a specific layout, such as a page with multiple columns.
• Set up a page for a certain function, such as a table of contents, a search form, a guest book, and so on.
• Create a frames page using one of several frame formats.

Create a Template back to top
A template is a pre-designed page that can contain page settings, formatting, and page elements. You can create your own page templates so that you can create pages for your web quickly and consistently. Templates are very useful in a multiple-author environment because they help authors create pages the same way.

Formatting text: back to top
You can format text in Microsoft FrontPage as you would using a word processor, to add visual organization, emphasis, and structure. You can change the font face, size, style, color, spacing, and vertical position of text, and add effects such as underlining. You can also control spacing and indentation, add bullets and numbers, and set alignment. For example, format normal body text to use Times New Roman 10-point font, and format page headings to use Arial 16-point boldface font, centered on the page.

Add borders around text: back to top
You can add borders around text, and then set properties, such as the style, color, padding, and width of the border.

When you add a border, it is applied to an entire paragraph. For example, if you apply a border to a selected word, the border is applied to the whole paragraph. Or, if you select two paragraphs and then apply a border, each paragraph will have a border around it. If text is separated by line breaks rather than paragraph marks, the text is considered to be one paragraph and will have one border.

1.      In Page view, select the paragraphs around which you want to add a border.

2.      On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading.

3.      Do one of the following:

• If you want a four-sided border, under Setting, click Box. Set properties for the border by clicking options from Style, Color, and Width.

• To create a custom border, under Setting, click Custom. A custom border can have borders on particular sides, and each side can have a different style, color and width. From the Style box, click a border style. You can also click options from Color and Width. Under Preview, apply the border to one or more sides by clicking the diagram's sides or by clicking the buttons.

4.      To specify the padding (the distance between the text and its border), under Padding, enter a value in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes in points.

5.      Border Size:  Zero border indicates no border.  The highest the number, the thicker the border.

Links: back to top
A hyperlink is a connection from one page to another destination such as another page or a different location on the same page. The destination is frequently another Web page, but it can also be a picture, an e-mail address, a file (such as a multimedia file or Microsoft Office document), or a program. A hyperlink can be text or a picture.

When the site visitor clicks the hyperlink, the relevant part of the page is displayed, rather than the top of the page.

For example, you can use bookmarks to navigate a long page that contains five headings. Create a bookmark at each heading, and at the top of the page add a table of contents that lists these headings. Each entry in the table of contents is a hyperlink that uses a bookmarked heading as a destination.

A hyperlink to a bookmark, also called an anchor, is indicated by a pound sign (#), which precedes the destination URL.

Inserting an Image on a Web page: back to top
The Web supports several different file formats for graphics, but JPEG and GIF are the two more common file formats for graphic images on the Web.  When images are saved in the GIF format, they are condensed to 256 or less colors.  This is what helps a GIF image become very small thus loading quickly onto the page.

JPEG images use what is called lousy compression.  This means when an image is saved in the JPEG format, image data is deleted.  This process makes a once large image very compact in size but it could possibly decrease the quality of the image.  Unlike GIF files, JPEG files can contain millions of colors and thus often are used for photographs and more complex images.

To Insert A Picture On The Home Page (From A File): back to top
1.        On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click From File.

FrontPage displays the Picture dialog box. Because you are editing a page that isn't part of a web yet, FrontPage also opens the Select File dialog box, which lets you choose a picture to insert from your local file system.

2.   In the Select File dialog box, navigate to the folder where you saved your picture (hint: you should save all pictures to the same location to make locating them easier).

3.   Click the file, and then click OK.

FrontPage inserts the selected picture file on the current page.

Add a hotspot to a graphic: back to top
You can add hotspots to graphics such as pictures and animated GIFs. A hotspot is an invisible region on a graphic to which you have assigned a hyperlink. When a site visitor clicks the region, the destination of the hyperlink is displayed in the Web browser. In Microsoft FrontPage, hotspots can be shaped as rectangles, circles, or polygons.

A graphic with one or more hotspots is called an image map. The image map usually gives cues about where it should be clicked. For example, a car manufacturer's Web site could use an image map of its new cars: when a site visitor clicks a car, a page with a detailed description of the car is displayed.

You can use graphics on your Web pages to provide information, artwork, or pictures. In addition to being decorative, graphics can be useful, for example as navigational buttons.

Web Browsers : back to top

Ø        Web Browsers can access and view Web pages using a software program called a Web browser. 

Ø        The Web browser software program requests a Web page, interprets the HTML codes and text used to create the page and then displays the Web page on your computer screen. 

Ø        Today, the two more popular browsers are Explorer and Navigator.

Web Servers: : back to top

Ø        The Web pages that comprise a Web site are stored on a served called a Web server.

Ø        A Web server, or host, is a computer that delivers requested Web pages. 

Ø        Every Web site is stored on and runs from one or more Web servers;

Ø        A Web server can have thousands of Web pages available for viewing.  Multiple Web sites can also be stored on the same Web server.  For example, when you enter a Web page in your browser, your browser sends a request to the server; the server then uses the Web server software to fetch the Web page and sends it to your browser. 

Publishing: back to top
When you are ready to display your web on the World Wide Web or your organization's intranet, you must publish your web. Publishing a web is basically copying the files in your web to a destination, such as a Web server, where others can browse the web.

Before Publishing Your Web: back to top
Before you publish your web, you should make sure it is ready by checking for broken hyperlinks, verifying that the pages look the way you want them to, and testing the web to make sure that everything works. A good way to ensure your web is ready is by previewing it in a Web browser and navigating through the site, and by reviewing the status of your files in Reports view.

If you are going to publish your web to the World Wide Web, you'll need an Internet service provider (ISP), preferably one who has a Web server with the FrontPage Server Extensions installed. You'll also need to know the ISP's Web server location for publishing your web, and your user name and password, if necessary. For information about ISPs who use the FrontPage Server Extensions (known as Web Presence Providers), visit the Microsoft FrontPage home page, or click Publish on the File menu, and then click the WPPs button.

Check the Publishing Status of a Web: back to top
You can view the publishing status of all the files in a web by running a report. The Publish Status report indicates whether a file has been marked as Publish or Don't Publish. By default, all files are marked as Publish unless you change the status.

• On the View menu, point to Reports, and then click Publish Status.

The Publish column displays the publishing status of each file.

Publish a Web using HTTP: back to top
Publish the files in the current web when you are ready to present your web for public viewing, or when you want to update the files in your web. You can publish using HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) if the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed on the Web server to which you are publishing.

1. On the File menu, click Publish Web.
2. Click Options to expand the list of options.
3. Specify whether you want to publish only pages that have changed, or all pages.
4. To publish subwebs, select the Include subwebs check box.
5. To publish using a secure connection, select the Secure connection required (SSL) check box. Your destination Web server must support SSL for this feature to work.
6. In the Specify the location to publish your web to box, type the location of a Web server, click the arrow to select a location to which you have published before, or click Browse to find the publishing location.
7. Click Publish.

FrontPage publishes your web. If you want to verify that your web was successfully published, click the hyperlink that is displayed after the web has been published — your Web browser will open to the site you just published.

If you cancel publishing in the middle of the operation, files that have already been published remain on the destination Web server.

Tip   To publish only pages that have changed to the same location you previously published to, click Publish button.

Flag a page for a Search Engine: back to top
You can index keywords to your home page to make your web more accessible to search engines such as Yahoo! or Alta Vista.

1.      On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Custom tab.

2.      Under User Variables, click Add.

Notes: back to top

·         FrontPage adds the index keywords to your page's meta data. Click the HTML tab in Page view to see the HTML that FrontPage generates.

·         Some search engines do not use index keywords in meta data, or require their own registration processes. Check with specific search engines for their guidelines.

·         Search engines find your Web page by the way your page is formatted.  Therefore, in the Style box, change from Normal to Heading 1.  This means that the search engine will search the Internet and find your Web page by the Heading I format.

·         When saving Web page, in the area File Name, use default or index.  This means this is the home page.  Page Title – add whatever text you want.

·         The <META> tag is a special hidden tag located in the <Head> section of the HTML code.  Search engines use information in the <META> tag to index and locate your Web site.  A description of your Web site and keywords are placed inside the <ETA> tag.  The description should be no more than one sentence and the keywords should be any words you think users will type into a search engine when performing a search relevant to the content of your pages.

1. Click Next.

The second screen of the Import Web Wizard is displayed. The screen differs depending on the option you selected in step 2 of this procedure.

2. Determine the files to be imported:

Ø        If you chose to import from a source directory of files on a local computer or network, the Files list shows the files that will be imported:

Ø        To import all of the files listed, click Next.

Ø        To exclude specific files from being imported, select them, click Exclude, and then click Next.

Ø        To refresh the file list with the latest information, click Refresh.

Ø        If you chose to import a web from a Web server, you can optionally specify limitations on the files to be imported:

Ø        To import pages that are a specific level of hyperlinks below the starting page, select the Limit to this page plus check box, and then in the Levels below box, type the number of levels you want to import.

For example, if you specify a level of 0, FrontPage imports only the starting page you chose in step 2 of this procedure and any images, controls, applets, or other files on that page. If you specify a level of 1, FrontPage imports the starting page and its contents, plus all files pointed to by hyperlinks on the starting page (and any images, controls, applets, and so on contained in those files).

Ø        To import no more than a specific amount of file space (for example, 500 kilobytes) on your hard drive, select the Limit to check box, and then in the KB box, type the amount.

Ø        To import only text and image files, excluding any controls, applets, or other related files contained on the page, select the Limit to text and image files check box.

The last screen of the Import Web Wizard is displayed.

3. Click Finish.
