Instructions to "add" a webpage (example: index.html file) to your District 7 website:
- After demonstration of the following files during training, create an index.html file using any editor such as Textpad, MS Word, Frontpage, etc..
- 1BasicHTML.html - file that demonstrates a minimal set of tags but nothing shows in a browser.
- 2BasicWebpage.html- file that demonstrates basic Header tags with a Table and one attribute showing background color.
- 3DecoratedWebpage.html- file that demonstrates attributes inside a tag with centering, styles, and widths.
- 4BasicTeacherWebpage.html - file that demonstrates a simple layout for a home page (index.html) for a teacher. Includes 3 main tables (including a table of assignments within another table) as well as a menu that teachers can link to other webpages created in the future.
- 5BasicTeacher-Word2.html - file generated by Microsoft Word and saved as a webpage. Illustrates what happens when a program is used for one purpose (printing) but saved for another purpose (webpage).
- 6DistrictWebPageTemplate.html- file that has been used in District7 as a basis for a standardized webpage for teachers. Includes an images folder that contains files that display pictures in the webpage.
- Save this file to any easily remembered folder.
-
Good options are on your E: drive or H: drive or flash drive [you can work at home using a flash drive]
-
You may want to create a sub-folder specifically for your website because the number of webpages (individual files) tends to grow over time!
-
For example: H:\jmeinzen\website\index.html
-
Copy this file to the District7 webserver [you may need to have this part demonstrated]
- The networked district website folder is at \\webserve\homepages\EHSstaff\teacherLoginName\index.html
-
Your teacherLoginName folder will already have been created for you and is waiting for you to add files. The very first file you need to add must be called index.html
- Every other new webpage file (i.e. for a specific course) that you want to add must be linked from within index.html. Name this new webpage file something obvious such as geometry1stHr.html
-
BE VERY CAREFUL...if you go to \\webserve\homepages\EHSstaff\ rather than your assigned folder at \\webserve\homepages\EHSstaff\teacherLoginName\ ... YOU MAY WIPE OUT EVERY OTHER TEACHER'S WEBSITE!
- For example. John's district website is at \\webserve\homepages\EHSstaff\jmeinzen\
- Repeat steps 1 through 3 for every other webpage file that you create...making sure to edit the index.html file so that you files are "linked" to each other.
