II. CREATING A WEBPAGE
To create a Web page, follow these guidelines:
1. Choose a page to be the homepage of your Web site. This will be the first page that
users encounter when they visit your site. Save this file to your local root folder as
home.html. Naming the homepage home.html tells the Web browser that this is the first
page it should open when someone visits your site.
2. To add a new page go to File > New and choose a basic HTML page. Save this page
by clicking File > Save As. Name the first page home.html
3. After your homepage is created, you can use this page as a template layout for all the other pages in your site. Simply hit Save As and name the file whatever you wish, but be sure to keep the name simple, for example CV.html, resume.html, pictures. etc. Remember not to use capital letters or spaces when naming files; this will make it easier for web browsers to find your files.
4. To save the pages of your site simply click File > Save for each page. Make sure your
homepage is named home.html, and save all of your files in the folder you chose when
you defined your site, i.e. in your local root folder.
NOTE: This process will save your files to your local site. You can transfer each file
separately to the remote site or transfer the entire site once you have finished working
on it.
