Instructions

Make Your Web page.

1. Click the Windows icon in the lower left corner. Then select "Programs," "Microsoft Office" and "Microsoft FrontPage."

2. 

   Make a Web page. In Microsoft FrontPage, go to "File" and "New." Once you have done this, you should see a fresh new page.

3. 

   Add text to your page. Begin to type in text on your page. When you are satisfied with what you have written, select the text type from the drop-down right above your workspace. Highlight text then choose how you want it to appear on the Web page. You will need to play around with this to get the right look and feel you desire for your particular Web page.

4. 

   Insert a hyperlink. Highlight a piece of text that you would like to have linked to another Web page. Then click the tab labeled "Insert," then click "Hyperlink."
   You will then be prompted to input the URL you want to link to. Enter the URL and then click "Finished."

5. 

   Preview your Web page in a browser. To see how your page will look when it's on the Internet, go to "File," "Preview in Browser." The screen that pops up will show you how your page looks in a Web browser.

Put Your Web Interface on the Internet

1. Publish your pages. On the Microsoft FrontPage interface, there is a pane titled "Remote Web site." Click this pane and it will expand.

2. Select the option "Publish all changed pages" and then click the "Local to remote" option.

3. Enter the server name, username and password. You will be prompted for the name of the server you subscribe to from your Internet service provider. Then you will be prompted for your Username and Password. Simply enter them and click "Connect".

4. Click the "Publish Web site" option. This will place your Web page on the Internet server.

5. View your Web interface with your browser. Enter the URL of your website, which is the URL your Internet service provider should have given you. It will be in this format:
   http://www.nameofserver.com/yourpagename.html

6. Revise your pages as needed. If you now see things you would like to change on your Web page, simply edit your page and then publish your pages again.
