HTML EDITORS

Top HTML editors for beginners:

o Adobe GoLive

o Macromedia Dreamweaver

o Microsoft FrontPage

All of these editing programs allow beginners to make-your-own- web-pages using templates and WYSIWYG.
 All three of these programs come with instructions that are designed to help even the beginner web user to create a relatively professional looking website.


MAKE-YOUR-OWN-WEBPAGES

Exactly how you make-your-own-web-page will depend on the specific editor you use, however the process of all editors is remarkably similar.
 Select or create a template for your site.
 Beginners just use one of the many pre-developed templates that come with editing programs.
 Create pages for your site and type the text directly into the pages.


 In general, you should keep these to a minimum because each graphic you put into your page increases the download time.


 All editors contain a preview capability that will let you see the page in a web browser exactly as your visitors will see it.
 You should design your site to work effectively with the top three browsers: Microsoft Explorer, Firefox, and Netscape.
 Amend your site a number of times before you ever actually post it online; but recognize that it does take time to make-your-own-web-page - especially your first time out.


FTP (File Transfer Protocol) FILES TO YOUR WEBSITE

When you purchase a web hosting service, the web host will give you FTP credentials consisting of the FTP site, user name and password for your account.


GoLive, Dreamweaver and FrontPage all come with embedded FTP programs, so you can just enter your FTP credentials into their client and follow your program's instructions to publish your pages.
 Therefore it's a good idea to go ahead and set up a separate client for uploading things like images, pdf's, or other linked objects.
 Several free FTP clients you may choose to use:

o Leach FTP

o WSFTP

o Microsoft Explorer - Type the FTP location into the browser and then enter your credentials into the popup box.
 Once you have successfully connected to your FTP site, posting your web site is as easy as copying the files from your home computer to your website.
