 Step One: Print this out, it will be easier to go step by step.

 Step Two:  Go to  http://www.phs.wjusd.org/template.htm

 Step Three: Go to File (top left)  choose Save As
 You will need to save the file in your W drive. Your W drive is your Web space directory.
Everything you put on the Internet will be saved in this drive.

 If you go up to the Save In Bar; and click on the right hand arrow, you will see your W drive.

For example:  Bob Smith’s directory would say

                                                 <   Smith on ‘Phs_staff\Sys\Apache\Nwdocs  (W:) >

Step Four:  Start Microsoft Front Page.  Go to File (top left) click on open, and go to your W drive. 
You should see two files, one named index.html and one named template.html 

Open the template file. 

In the blank area of the template file type your name, or your classes, or what ever you want
(This part is just to get you set up, you can go back and change it later)
 Once you are done typing, go up to File, and click on Save As.  

Step Five: You need to name your file index.html   (ßIt needs to be named exactly as written)

The computer will ask tell you that the file exists already and are you sure you want to replace it, click on Yes.   

Step Six:  Congratulations, You’ve made your first basic webpage. 

Your index.html page is your homepage.

 This is the page that is linked from the main school pages.

So if you want to see your handiwork, it would be  www.phs.wjusd.org/yourlastname/index.html  

For example Bob Smith’s page would be www.phs.wjusd.org/smith/index.html
 

Here are some current staff examples

www.phs.wjusd.org/schauberger/index.html
www.phs.wjusd.org/martin/index.html
www.phs.wjusd.org/guemmer/index.html

Front Page is very similar to Microsoft Word. You can add tables, larger fonts, basically anything you can do in Word. In fact, if you have lessons saved in Word, you can copy and paste into Front Page.

Step Seven: Making it fancy. . . .( and a little more complicated) Don’t worry its not that scary.     

I.                    Let’s say that you teach two or three preps and you’d like to make a page for each class, and you’d like to link it to your homepage. No Problem !!

                                         For Example

         1.  How to create a page for your "Underwater Basket Weaving Class"

1.      Go back to Front Page. Go to File, Click on Open. This time open the template file.

2.      Type the information for your UWBW class- materials, syllabus, assignments, etc. .

3.      Go to File, click on Save As

4.      Name your UWBW page as UWBW, click on ok

5.      In Front Page, open your index.html file

       6.   Type in the name of your class- Underwater Basket Weaving

A.     Using the mouse highlight the text you want to link.

B.     Go up to Insert, and click on Hyperlink

C.     You will see several options: Current folder, Browsed pages, and recent files.

                  D. Click on Recent files, you should see W:UWBW.htm, click on the file, and click ok.

7.        Go to File and click on Save.  You’ve now linked your UWBW page to your main page

(Now obviously, the UWBW page isn’t real, you should name your individual files for the class that will be using it.)    

II.                 If you want to create a club page, follow steps 1-4, then email me the name of the file so I can put it into the School club page.

III.               Suppose you’ve found a great website, such as www.mastersofbasketweaving.com  and you want to add it to one of your pages. 

A.     Type the name of the Webpage where you would like it to be on your page.

B.     Go to Insert, click on Hyperlink, In the box marked "Address" type the name of the website and click on Ok.

C.     Go to File and click on Save.

      IV.              Inserting a photo

A.     First of all, your photo file needs to be saved in your W drive.

B.     To insert a photo, go to Front Page, open the file you want to place the photo in, click on Insert, Picture, from File. Go to your W: drive, and click on the photo. (Note, if the photo is too large, it will overlap the screen, which isn’t good, so the photo would need to be resized, which isn’t in these instructions)

 Things to Remember

1. Any page you save needs to be saved in your W: drive
2. Individual student grades/attendance cannot be put on your webpage. Its’ not legal.
3. Do what is comfortable and useful for both yourself and students.
4. Experiment with Front Page all you want, as long as you don’t save it, it won’t be a permanent change
