BUILD YOUR OWN WEBSITE!!!

 
  • Microsoft Expression Web 4 (Free Version) - the download file indicates it is a trial version. But actually it is a full version Microsoft has released for education.
                9 This is the webpage builder we use at school and is on all the student computers at school.
                            (So you can copy your website to a USB and work on it at school and at home.)

  • This page will give you easy to follow instructions on how to use MS Expression web to build your site.
  • The website you make, we can store on the school intranet for you, and you can look at this from home.
  • To see a student example of a website, see No. 12 on this link.
  • If you don't have Expression Web to build a website, try http://nvu.com/ (free) to build your web pages.  
            +++ Plus http://nvu.com also has an easy web site building program for 
    Mac users.

  •  If you want to be able to view your web site on the WWW internet, you will have to upload your web site to a web sevice provider on the internet.
    A web service provider or host, stores your web site for you on the internet.
                    
                                         A free web service provider you can use is http://www.webng.com/  
                                                                (It also does not put advertisements on your site.)

                     This youtube video will show you how to upload your website to webng.com
                              
                                                ( same link again       www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvBrOpU0TeE)

  • In this above video you will see that he keeps his web site image files in a separate folder he made that he called IMG.
       
        That is why after he clicked 'File Manager', he used 'Create a Diretory' so he could make a folder at webng called IMG.
                                                                                   Then he uploaded his images into that folder.
        But if you want to you can just put all your word files and image files in the one folder,
                                                                       and don't have to make separate folders in 'Create a Direxctory'.
         People just make more folders to keep different files in them, to make things tidy!
