Internet Publishing Workshop
About this Workshop –
The best way to learn is by practice. To make practice enjoyable
we need a basic understanding of what it is we are about to learn. In this
workshop we will learn how to construct Internet Web Sites. First we will
construct a simple Hyper-text Mark-up Language (html) document using application
software for the automatic insertion of mark-up tags. The most popular
application is MS Front Page or the free version called Front Page Express.
After the page (document) has been created we will use another application to
transport it in its binary format to our personal file space on our Internet
Service Provider’s (ISP) computer. Every ISP has different requirements and
methods to accomplish this. We will use the Internet to learn what your
Provider’s requirements are. You will then experience the publishing of your
very simple page.
Next we will use the Internet to view the page you created and published.
Practice will be accomplished by repetition of this process. You will now edit
and change your page and republish it. We will repeat this process several times
until you can perform the process easily.
In the remainder of the workshop we will learn to utilize some more advanced
features of html. We will insert graphical and sound content. We will create
both internal and external hyper-links. Tables will be used for absolute
positioning and adding art work. Backgrounds and watermarks will be introduced.
Your Web Site will grow with the addition of other pages.
It is the intent of this workshop to provide you with sufficient repetition of
the processes involved such that they may be retained. Like anything else we
learn… “If you don’t use IT you lose IT.”
This workshop will employ the use of discussion. It is an excellent way to
retain learning and grasp an understanding of the material. Please ASK
Questions… This facilitates discussion. We come to the workshop with varying
backgrounds and experience. We learn from each other. The facilitator will do
his best to keep the group focused. Have fun!
