Saving your web site

If you haven’t already, you’ll notice that there is noSave” option under File in the Menu Bar.  Nor is there a little “Save diskette” in the button bar.  They are both “grayed out” – indicating that you can’t use them.  One of the neat things in FrontPage 2003 is that it automatically saves your web site as you make each change.  To prove this, click-on File in the Menu Bar and then click-on Exit.  FrontPage 2003 will close.  Now open FrontPage as you did at the beginning of this tutorial.  When FrontPage appears, SURPRISE!  Your web site appears – just like you left it! 

 

If your web site does not appear, or if you’re not sure how to open your web site, do the following.

 

When the Task Pane appears, follow the instructions above.  If all of this fails, do the following

 

Click-on File and then click-on Open.  The Open File menu screen (top of next page) will appear. 

 

 

 

 

When the Open File menu appears, click-on the C: drive, then click-on the Open button.  If you do not see the C: drive as a choice, click the down arrow in the upper corner of the Open File menu and “look around” until you find your C: drive

 

 

Notice, when you click-on the C: drive, you can see the webtest folderClick-on the webtest folder (image on right), then click-on Open


 

 

Your Open File screen will look similar to the one on the right.  Click-on the index.htm file and then click-on Open

 

 

 

 

The upper left corner of you screen should look like the image to the left.  You will see both the Web Site tab and the index.htm tab.  

 

Click-on the Web Site tab

 

 

If you were able to open your Web Site from the Task Pane, the upper left corner of your screen should look like the image on the right.  You will see only the Web Site tab.

 

 

 

To create our web site we’ll want to be in the Navigation View.  So, click-on the Navigation button, in the lower left of your screen, as indicated by the arrow below.

 

 

 

Earlier, when you clicked OK on the Web Site Templates screen, a little web page and a world globe appeared with an arrow circling the page and the globe.  This indicated that your web site was created as you requested.  This is now confirmed by the Folder List view (which “shows” your created web site). The image you see below appeared when you clicked-on the Navigation button.  This is the beginning of your web site.

 

In the center of the screen you will see:

 

Take note of the words below the Home Page (index.htm), they’re important. We’ll come back to this in a moment.
