| Important procedure:
Using Windows Explorer (right mouse button on Start
icon, or right mouse button on My Computer icon and click on Explore),
in root directory on your hard drive create new folder for publishing. This
folder will become a mirror image of all your files uploaded to your Internet
provider, so keep unpublished file (e.g. extra images) somewhere else.
| You start by selecting: |
| In FrontPage |
In Dreamweaver |
| File > Open Web |
Site > New Site |
|
|
FrontPage will create some
folders to keep track of all your operations: _vti_cnf,
_vti_pvt, _notes, _private
Ignore them, and do not delete or upload them. |
|
| When opening new file, save it right
away before inserting any content. |
| Before inserting images to your page,
use Windows Explorer to copy your images to your image folder. Do
not insert them from different folder or drive.
Image inserted from different folder will produce undesirable path:
<img border="0" src="file:///E:/web/_digitalschool/gallery/4seasons/winter/images/flowers.jpg"
width="544" height="408">
instead of:
<img border="0" src="images/flowers.jpg" width="544" height="408"> |
| Continue investigating and observing
your HTML tags by switching to HTML mode. In Internet Explorer
use View > Source |
When uploaded files are not working, the
most common reasons are:
- File name is not identical. Compare file
name in HTML mode of your page and the one uploaded. E.g. flowers.jpg
and flowers.JPG are not the same.
- You uploaded them to the wrong folder.
Therefore, it is very important to maintain the mirror image of your
uploaded files and folder on your hard drive.

Homework:
- Confirm with your Internet provider that you have space
for publishing your
pages. You need to know:
FTP Host Address, FTP site User Name, and FTP site Password
- Continue working on your pages.
- For the next session please bring some
images and text files for further publishing. Also lots of creative ideas and questions.
- Review your handouts, last session
activities, browse through
computerschool.net and CD.
- Have fun.
