Creating
A Web Page
Your
internet account includes 5 megabytes of web space. Additional web
space
is available, call our office for details. We encourage you to create
your
own personal or business home page. It's as easy as creating your own
typed
documents in Word or ClarisWorks. It's so easy, you'll wonder why
everyone
isn't doing it for themselves.
You
will need a HTML
editor
for creating your web page as well as FTP
software for uploading your page to the server.
For
an Html editor you can download and use Netscape Navigator Gold or
Netscape
Communicator. Windows and Macintosh versions available from
Netscape.(click
on web page links below)
For
Ftp software, Ws_Ftp for Windows, and Fetch for Macintosh, are also
available
for download. (click on web page links below)
WEB
PAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1.)
CREATE A FOLDER
You
may want to create a separate folder on your computer such as
c:\webpage
(Win) or a new folder called Webpage (Mac) to store your web items in.
2.)
CREATE A WEB PAGE
Next
create a web page on your computer using the HTML editor of your
choice.
Make sure you save your web page in the folder you created previously.
Also, your page should be saved with the name index.html
3.)
CONNECT TO THE SERVER
After
creating your web page you are ready to connect to the server. Go into
your FTP software. Type in www.sisqtel.net for the Host Name/Address.
Select
Automatic Detect for the host type (Ws_Ftp). Type in your account name
for the UserId and then type in your password. Select OK to connect to
the server. When you connect you will automatically be in your root
directory
on the server.
4.)
UPLOAD YOUR WEB PAGE
Most
FTP programs are split into two screens. The left side of the screen is
a view of the files on your computer. The right side of the screen is a
view of files on the server. To copy your web page to the server you
will
need to locate the folder that you saved your pages in which may be in
the left window. After locating your web page
(index.html)
you need to upload it to your directory on the server. When
you connected to the server you were automatically put into your
directory
on the server. By dragging and dropping, double clicking or using the
arrows
(depends on your program) you need to transfer your web page to the
server.
Once you have successfully uploaded your web page, the web page
filename
should be visible in the window (index.html). If you have any graphics,
you can upload them at this time also. Disconnect from the server when
finished.
5.)
BROWSE YOUR WEB PAGE
Once
your web page has been uploaded to the server, it can be viewed. To
view
your web page you will need to go into a browser such as Internet
Explorer
or Netscape Navigator. In the address bar of your browser type
in http://users.sisqtel.net/accountname
Have
fun creating your web pages. There is a lot of material available on
the
internet to assist you in your design. Try doing a search on
backgrounds,
textures, clipart, icons, bullets, buttons, banners, signs, animated
images,
sounds, movies, etc....
