Creating your web site

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. 

 

If you accidentally double-clicked on the Home Page icon, this indicates to FrontPage 2003 that you want to edit this page in FrontPage Design View, so FrontPage loaded your page in the Design View.  We’ll do this a lot after our pages are created.  It’s not a big deal anyway.  Simply click-on the Navigation button at the bottom of the screen and you’ll be back where you want to be.  Make sure that you have clicked the Web Site tab, so you can see the Navigation button.

 

Make sure the Home Page icon is blue.  To add the first page under your home page, you will notice, in the upper right corner of the screen, a small button (that looks like a sheet of paper) that indicates New Page (see arrow at right).  Click-on this New Page button

As soon as you click, your screen will change to reflect that you have just created a New Page 1 below your Home Page (index.htm).

 

 

This is where FrontPage really does its work.  When you click, all of the pages you create in FrontPage 2003 will automatically be hyperlinked by FrontPage.  Your screen should now look like the one at the right.  We’ll come back and “name” our pages later, after we have created our little web site.

 

Now we’ll add two more pages under our Home Page (index.htm).  Each time, click-on the Home Page (index.htm) to turn it blue, and then click-on the New Page button.  Your screen should now look like the one below – after you click the New Page button two more times.

 

  

Next, we’ll add two pages under New Page 3.  The process is similar to what we just did. First, click-on New Page 3, to turn it blue, and then click-on the New Page button.  Do this twice.  Your web site should now look like the one below.

 

 

 

If you happen to make a mistake, as you are adding new pages, you can simply left click-on the erroneous new page and tap the Delete key, or right click-on the page and then left click on Delete.  A Delete Page menu (like the one on the right) will appear.  Click-in the Delete this page from the web site “circle,” and click OK

 

 

Or, you could always click-on the Undo button at the top of the screen.
