How to make your first web page

1. Open up Microsoft FrontPage (or Microsoft Expression Web). You can do this by clicking Start (bottom left of screen) then sliding up to /Programs, then /Microsoft, then out to/FrontPage (or Expression Web.)

3. Before you type on the new page open up the tools you might use. Click View ( top left of screen) /then Toolbars and tick: Standard, Drawing, Tables, Pictures, Positioning and Formatting.

4.Now pull an empty table down onto your new FrontPage page. Use the little table picture (icon) at the top of your page.

                                                

Highlight and select 6 boxes or cells in your table, all down the left row. You can later type or paste pictures into these boxes. If you hold your cursor on the edge of the table, you can drag it to the size you want.

5. Click save, (the little blue picture of a floppy disk at the top.)

In the 'Save As' window that pops up, first click the little orange folder picture with the star on the corner, on the top right. This lets you save your web page in a new folder*.
So name your new folder in the little window that pops up. 
Call it whatever your web page is about.

(*This will let you create a new folder, on the desktop, where you can keep this web page site and all of its pictures, and background colour files etc. so none go missing.)

6.Then back in the big 'Save As' window, at the bottom, in the 'file name' box, type the name of your first web page or home page. You must call this front page index. (It will already probably be typed there for you.)

7.Then in the 'Save As' window, at the top, click the down arrow next to the 'Save in' box and pick the desktop and then  your new web page folder, then click Save( bottom right of window.)

Done!!!
