First things First!

• Everything that makes the web page has to be
  stored under the same roof!
• Before starting a web site/page make a
  blueprint of the site/page
• What is the purpose of the page?
• What will it take to achieve the purpose?
• Do I have everything (info, images etc)
• What are you waiting for, get started!

Directories/Folders

• Create a folder with the web sites name as a
  folder name
• Create four subfolders if needed
• Pictures
• Clip art
• Documents
• Research

Blueprint

• Describe the purpose and market for the site
• How many pages?
• How many pictures, clip art etc.
• Put the pics and clip art in the appropriate
  folder
• Put the blueprint and all other non-html
  documents into the research folder.

Why must I do all this work

• Because if you dont KC (thats me) will be
  nasty.
• Because over the long haul you will in fact be
  doing less work.
• Because that way everything will work as planned.
• Because you wont have to re-do some of the
  things 3 and 4 times.

Why are folders so Important

• It keeps everything neat and clean
• Things are easy to find
• Folders are not cluttered up with things that
  dont belong there
• Images and the like are easy to link to
• The site is easily uploaded and will still work
  once it is located on the server.

Inserting an Image correctly

• In HTML, an image does not get inserted into the
  page
• Only the location of image will be inserted
• ltimg srcpics/PISS2.GIFgt
• When you upload the page it will look for
  pics/PISS.GIF and it will find it.

10
Inserting incorrectly

• The image is on your floppy disk
• The html document is on your hard drive in a
  folder called poop
• When you insert the pic it will read
• ltimg srcfile///A/PISS2.GIFgt
• When you upload to your ISP you better send them
  a floppy drive and the disk with the image as
  well as a person to stick the disk into the drive
  when needed.

The morale of the story is

• Think
• Think
• And think some more!
• Plan
• Plan
• And plan some more!
