First A word about Pictures

• Pictures for a web page need to be
• Small enough file size to load quickly.
• Depends on number of pictures on a single web
  page
• Generally, file size should be under 50 to75 kb /
  image.
• JPEG format for Photographs or GIF format for
  limited color images, gif images with
  transparent backgrounds or gif animations.
• Usually scanned images should be scanned at 75
  d.p.i. resolution. Actual image size Screen
  image size
• Digital cameras should use lower resolution
  settings.

Publisher 2000 vs. Publisher XP

• Open Publisher, follow instructions, make style
  choices from design templates. There are some
  differences however between the way Publisher
  2000 and the way Publisher 2002 (XP) work.
• If your using Publisher 2000
• Web Wizard will help you create a number of pages
  before you start.
• You can edit each page replacing, deleting or
  adding text and images.
• If your using Publisher 2002 (or Publisher XP)
• Only creates home page from start-up. You have
  to insert all new pages.
• If you use one of the IS labs, the library
  computers or the Student Multimedia Studio, then
  you will be using Publisher XP.

Save as Web PageHow different Publisher Versions
save your Web Pages

• using Publisher XP

• using Publisher 2000

• The homepage is saved in the folder you select
  and a new folder is created to hold all images
  and added web pages.
• Must name the homepage manually as index.htm.

• All Web Pages AND Images go into one common
  folder.
• Automatically names the homepage, index.htm

10
Viewing your Web Site

• You can use Web Page Preview at any time during
  the construction of your web site to see how it
  will look in a web browser like IE or Netscape.
• You can also open the index.html file (this is
  your home page) directly from the folder where
  you saved the page. It will automatically open
  it in the default browser for the computer youre
  using.
• For this class this is all you have to do. But
  if you want, you can upload your web site to
  Kents Personal Server, continue on.

Uploading to Server

• Can use WS_FTP LE or Secure Shell for Windows
  (SSH
• Can download either of these programs free from
  http//helpdesk.kent.edu/software/winme/wmetelnet.
  shtm (I recommend WS_FTP LE)
• Theres an tutorial on how to use WS_FTP LE at
  http//act.kent.edu tutorials link
• MUST know user name and flashline password to
  log-in to server
• If saved as a Publisher 2000 web page (site), you
  MUST transfer all web pages and images from
  common folder (where you saved the page) into
  public_html folder on the server
• If saved as a Publisher XP web page (site),
• You SHOULD have named the page when you saved it
  as a publisher document as index.html. Then,
  when you save as a web page, your home page
  will be given the filename, index.html. A folder
  will be created automatically called,
  index_files. You MUST transfer both the
  index.html file and the index_files folder into
  the public_html folder on the server.
• If you make changes later
• You MUST transfer all web pages and any new
  images in the common folder (using Publisher
  2000) or the index.html file and the index_html
  folder (if using Publisher XP) to the server each
  time you make a change to any of your web pages.
