HTML Files by Mark Thompson If you already know how to create HTML web pages using Dreamweaver, FrontPage, or another web page editor, you can quickly upload your existing site to the First Class server. You will continue using your HTML editor to modify the pages. Note: Insert the code that creates our site menus at the top of the page. Copy the following text and paste it in at the top of your page after the <body> tag. (If you're using FrontPage, on the Edit menu choose Paste Special. Check the button which says "Treat as HTML" and click OK.) <! TEACHERS: THE FOLLOWING CODE CREATES THE ACHS MENUS. DO NOT DELETE THESE LINES... --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.sequoits.com/ACHSstyles.css" type="text/css"> <a href="http://www.sequoits.com"><img src="http://www.sequoits.com/MainImages/ACHSinsidebanner.jpg" alt="Click here for the Antioch Community High School home page" title="Click here for the Antioch Community High School home page" width="900" height="78" border="0" align="bottom" /></a> <! OK, NOW ENTER YOUR PAGE CONTENT STARTING WITH THE NEXT LINE -->  First, create a folder for your site in your Web Publishing folder. To do this, click the "File" menu and select New > New Folder. Give the folder a useful name by right-clicking (Windows) or control-clicking (Macintosh) on the folder and selecting "Rename" from the pop-up menu. Remember: the web address for your directory will be simpler if you avoid using spaces in the name.Then, copy your site's files to the First Class server by dragging their folder and file icons to the folder you created in the previous step. Besides the HTML files, remember to copy any image files that should accompany the web pages. You can copy entire folders of material to your Home Page Folder. First Class will preserve the directory structure of your site. Finally, test your site in a web browser by entering the address for the page: discover.d117.org/~your_name/filename (Example: discover.d117.org/~mark_thompson/webpages) If your home page is named either "index" or "default", you do not need to specify the index file in the address. Important Notes: 1. You cannot edit your HTML files directly in the Discover program. Use your HTML editor to make changes to your files. 2. Delete existing files and folders from your Web Publishing folder before uploading new files which use the same name(s). The First Class server will not overwrite a file with a duplicate name, which can create confusion when trying to replace outdated files. Once the old files/folders have been deleted, copy your new files/folders to your Home Page Folder and test your site. That’s it for HTML pages. See the list below for other web publishing options: |
