Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Luis Estrada and I'm a software developer. In this video I'll show you how to create a navigation bar for a web page. I'm using FrontPage. FrontPage is a registered trademark of Microsoft a company to which I have no affiliation. Let's create a new website. Press new and website select the one page website option. Press on the navigation button. In this screen, we're presented with all the web pages of our website. Here we can specify the navigation for our website. Imagine that we are creating a personal website. Let's create two pages where I present information about my friends and another about my hobbies. Right click on the index page and select new page. This is the page about my friends. Repeat the process and create a new page for hobbies. My hobbies include sports, dancing and music. So, I'll create three new pages one for music, another for sports and one for dancing. Now double click on the index file. Insert a new table by selecting table. Insert and table again. Select one row and two columns. In the left column, we will create the navigation bar and in the right column, we will take the information for that page. Now, select insert and navigation. We're creating a navigation bar base on navigation structure that we previously define. Press next. Choose a theme for the navigation buttons or leave the predefined theme if you selected one. In the next window, you can select an orientation for the bar. Choose vertical and press on finished. We can choose which pages are navigation bar will take our visitors to. In the illustration each box represents a web page. The first simply refers to the page where the navigation bar is included. The fill box represents pages the navigation bar links to. The box with the opal color rectangle represents the home page. Boxes in yellow represent pages that are not links to the navigation bar. In the next video, I will explain all of the different options to create links to the pages of your website. I'm Luis Estrada and I just showed you how to create a multimedia website using FrontPage."
