Lesson 6: Last One Your now able to make a pretty neato HTML document... so what can u do with it now? Be creative, like add your personal images and sounds... Next you need a place to put this so it can be a "Web Page." You need to go to AngelFire and get yourself a web directory, your own URL. Now you can "Advanced Edit" the original page u put up, the mandatory "index.html" and of course you can use all this new knowledge to create a fine piece of original art, your web page!
You must upload your images to your web directory, and in Angelfire you must include in your <IMG SRC="filename.ext"> command the directory name, for example if your login directory name is "/fl/paradise" then you must first add "/images/" to that directory, because when you upload it stores uploaded images in the in the "/images/" subdirectory. So, your result would be:
<IMG SRC="/fl/paradise/images/filename.ext" you of course must use your image name and extention in place of filename.ext... here's another example:
Say your image name is "picture1.jpg" and you uploaded it to the directory, and now want to put it on a page. Your command line would be:
<IMG SRC="/fl/paradise/images/picture1.jpg">
Hopefully you'll realize what I mean by the examples given... if not refer to Angelfire's homepage.
Next make a few links, maybe link to me =) and have fun... create multiple pages! And best of all have fun, you'll mess up some, then get the hang of it. If you see an idea you like on someone else's page just right click and choose "View Source" and you can see the coding they used, simply copy that to yours and then see what it shows... HAVE FUN!!! Please sign my guestbook and let me know by e-mail how successful you were and if you want I'll put a link to your new site on mine!
