Here are the things we will cover today:

2. How to make your own WebPage!

a) Create a folder for your work (see below). Then open Claris Homepage.

b) Under FILE open "new"; USE ASSISTANT; PERSONAL SITE ASSISTANT

c) Go through step by step instructions. In addition to a "favorite links" page your "other pages" should include one for each of the various assignments.

d) After you have finished save your pages to your folder and open the "index" page

e) Practice writing text and changing its appearance

f) Practice creating links

g) Practice adding an image

h) Preview it in Netscape

3. Save your WebPage to the server (see below)

4. If you have extra time, make your group page or begin you "favorite links" page

Place all of your files and images in a folder on your desktop.

You should do two things before creating a linked group of pages: create a site folder and define your site. To do this:

1. Choose New... from the File menu in Claris Homepage

2. In the New dialog box, click Create New... and select Empty Site from the scrolling list, then click OK.

3. In the Save As dialog box, find the location on your hard drive where you want to store the site (usually the desktop). Type the name for the site folder (e.g. YOURNAME) in the "Save Site As:" box and click Save. The Site Editor will open and display the new site folder and its contents.

You can now use this folder to store all of your related web pages and graphics. To reopen the site editor, choose Open Folder as Site from the File menu.

To create new pages, choose New Page from the File menu.

4. Usually people label the first page in their folder "index.html": this will be the default page for when someone visits your folder.

5. Don't forget to save as often as you work.

When you have finished with your pages save them to the server with these steps:

1. Open the Site Editor by choosing Open Folder as Site from the File menu, selecting your site folder, and clicking Select "folder name".

2. Click the Upload button (last on right) and the Upload dialog box appears.

3. In the "Upload" section of the dialog box, select which files you'd like to save to the server (e.g. only the files that have changed or the entire site (folder)

4. Click on the "Set FTP Options" box at the bottom right corner.

5. Fill in the FTP box as follows:

SERVER NAME: reed.edu

USER NAME: your unix user name

PASSWORD: your unix password

(do not click on save password)

REMOTE FOLDER: html

FTP mode: Passive

Now click "ok"

6. Click the "upload button." If it asks for your FTP password, use your UNIX password.

7. Did it work? Look at your page at http://www.reed.edu/~yourusername

8. Email your WebPage address to Laura at Laura.Arnold@Reed.edu

8. Before you leave, make sure you save the entire folder to your student back up server so you can make changes later.
