How to Start a Web Site

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today, I'm going to show you how to start a website. What we're going to do is create a simple website in Word. Let's open up our Word by clicking on the Start button. Let's go to All Programs, Microsoft Office. Let's just open up Word. Now, the good thing about using Word is that you can use methods that you're already familiar with to create your website. I'm just going to increase my font size here, and type a header. Let's decrease the size, type some other text. I'm going to kind of zoom in a little bit. You can see what I'm typin' a little bit better. So, now let's type the text of our web page. And as you can see, we can just type in anything just like we were using Word. We can even create bullets and things like that using the built in stuff from Word. Let's insert a picture by clicking the insert tab at the top, then clicking picture. Let's find us a picture that we like like this flowers picture here, and we can use these bars on the side of the picture to make it a little bit smaller cause' that's a somewhat large image. Now that you've created your web page let's save it. Click on the the Office button, and go to Save As. I'm going to save this on my desktop. Now, for Save as type let's select Web Page. We want to call it MySite. Now that that's saved let's open it up by going back to the desktop, just opening up MySite. There you have it. Your simple website created with Word. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to start a website."
