FrontPage 2002

Back to the FrontPage 2002 to place text, images and other “things” in your web pages
2009/02/12


You have now learned all of the steps to create a web site, it’s time to go back to Microsoft Page view and add the “things” you desire on each web page.  This is normally a three-step process.  First, since you returned to FrontPage there is no need to click-on the FrontPage 2002 button in the task bar again.  Second, double-click on the web page you want to edit in the Navigation view.  Third, once you have typed the text, inserted some pictures and graphics, created some links, and whatever else for that page, save the page and then preview it in a browser.  Then repeat the cycle as you work on your other pages.  This is what you did when as you completed the Creating a Single Web Page tutorial.

Themes
2009/02/12
If you'll remember, in the Microsoft Creating a Single Web Page tutorial, we browsed on the Internet and found nice, colorful, backgrounds to replace the white default background in the web page. 

Now, in Microsoft FrontPage 2002, we have the neat option to have a "Theme" background throughout our web site.  The theme uses the same color scheme for each web page its buttons and links (you can change them page by page later if you desire).

Titles for web pages in your web site
2009/02/12
Now let’s go back to the Navigation View FrontPage 2002 and “name” our web pages.  We’ll be doing the following process frequently, so it’s good to make sure that you understand the process of moving from one program to another.  At the bottom of your screen there is an area which shows/indicates what programs are active. This is called the Task Bar.  Since we are using FrontPage 2002, as well as a browser [in our case we’re using Microsoft Explorer].  Your Task Bar should look similar to the one below.

Viewing web pages in a browser
2009/02/12
Now, in the Page View, click-on the browser button in the button bar.  Or, you can click-on File in the Menu bar and then click-on Preview in Browser.  If you do click-on Preview in Browser, Explorer will ask you to choose a browser that is saved on your computer.  We normally use Microsoft Explorer, as it has proven more reliable of late.  However, if you are a Netscape or other browser user, then choose your favorite, if this is important to you.  Your initial view of your Home Page (index.htm) should look like the image below.

Creating your web site
2009/02/12
We’ll create a small personal web site to get you started.  You should be in Navigation View. 

First, left click-on the Home Page in the middle of the screen.  Prior to your click, it will appear as a light yellow icon, when you click-on it, the page will turn blue.  This indicates to FrontPage which page you desire to work on.  In this case we’ll add, and automatically link, three additional pages below our main home page.

Saving your web site
2009/02/12
If you haven’t already, you’ll notice that there is no “Save” option under File in the Menu Bar.  Nor is there a little “Save diskette” in the button bar.  One of the neat things in FrontPage 2002 is that it automatically saves your web site as you make each change.  To prove this, click-on File in the Menu Bar and then click-on Exit.  FrontPage will close.  Now open FrontPage as you did at the beginning of this tutorial.  When FrontPage appears, SURPRISE!  Your web site appears – just like you left it!  This is a new feature of FrontPage 2002.

Starting Microsoft FrontPage 2002
2009/02/12
In this tutorial we’ll create a small web site using Microsoft FrontPage 2002.  If you have not completed the tutorial: Creating a Web Page Using Microsoft FrontPage Editor 2002 for Windows 98/2000/ Me/XP you should do so prior to attempting this tutorial.  The Creating a Web Page Tutorial explains how to create and edit a single web page; this knowledge is pretty essential prior to your attempting the web site tutorial. 

In the previous tutorial it explains how to hyperlink or link to other web pages.  The really neat thing about this tutorial is that it creates these links “automatically” for you.

One more thing – HTML
2009/02/12
So far you have been working in a program very similar to a word processor with some limitations.  Actually, FrontPage 2002 has been “converting” your work into the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).  To “see” the computer program code you have created we’ll do two things.
 
First, go back to FrontPage 2002 again by clicking-on the FrontPage icon in the Task Bar at the bottom of the screen.

Links to other sites on the Internet
2009/02/12
Now we’ll link, using the Internet, to a great small college in Virginia.  Make sure that you can see your cursor below the sound link.  If you cannot see your curser below the sound link, click-below the sound link and see if the flashing cursor appears.  If it does not, tap the Enter key.

Now type-in something like:  Visit an awesome place.
