Creating Multi-Page Sites by Mark Thompson Sometimes a single web page is inadequate for the type of information you need to publish. In that case, multiple pages with links between them may be the way to organize your site. This page will guide you through the steps of organizing and linking multiple pages. First, create each of your web pages, giving each page an appropriate name in the “Name” field at the top of the document window. Remember: the web address for your page will be simpler if you avoid using spaces in the name. If you have quite a bit of material to organize, consider setting up folders for groups of documents (one for each course or activity, for example). 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. Then, create links to other pages on your site by highlighting the text or image that will become the link, then clicking the "Edit" menu and selecting "Make Link…" Enter the name of the page you are linking to and then click "OK." If the page is in a different folder, type the folder name before the file name, with a forward slash (/) between them. For links to other places on the Internet, enter the complete web address.  Links to other types of documents, such as worksheets, schedules, etc., can be done the same way. However, you must put a copy of each document in your Web Publishing folder. Do this by either dragging the document icons to the folder window or using the "Upload" command on the "File" menu to locate the files and copy them. Remember that if you rename your files or folders, you'll need to re-do any links you've made to those documents. The same is true if you move any linked files from one location to another. That’s it for multi-page web sites. See the list below for other web publishing options: |
