How to Build and Publish a Web Page

Three methods: two with Cox Web Server and one using tripod:

Method (1): To build a web page all you need is a word processor (MS Word or Wordperfect),
          type in your content and click File, Save As, HTML document. Then move file to a
          web server, if you use Cox Internet you have 70-MB of web server space
          (10-MB for each e-mail address). NOTE: Your home page must be index.html
           Then any web page linked to your home page can be named anything.html
           Open a new PC folder for each web page you develop, then all files in this folder will
           match the files on your web server.
           Before you move your web page to a server you can open your web page from Explorer
           or Netscape: Click File, click Open, click browse to find your saved HTML document, OK.

           Log on Cox, manage personal web space http://support.cox.net/coxms/jsp/Login.jsp
           Enter your full cox e-mail address and password
            Click  Personal  WebSpace
               Click Activate or Manage by your e-mail address
               You are now logged in to your 10-MB of Personal WebSpace file manager for your current e-mail
                At the bottom of page click upload, then browse your PC for your Web file, then click upload.
                             This will copy your web file from your PC to Cox Web server.
                             Done, your web page address is http://members.cox.net/emailname

Method(2): Using Netscape's 7.2 Composer
          To download freebie Netscape: http://home.netscape.com/  Upper left corner, Click browser
          then Free Download, standard install is OK, Java, media and weather not needed.

          From Netscape click Window, then click Composer, this new window is your HTML editor.
          Other HTML editors are MS Frontpage, Cold Fusion, Hot Metal and many others..
          Composer is similar to Word or Wordperfect, use Image then choose file to add a picture.
          To add a link to another web page, highlight text, click Link, type in your web linked 
           address. If linked web page is in your folder, type FileName.html, if linked web page is
           not in your folder, type the absolute address, http://www............
           To add email link, highlight text, click Link, enter mailto:YourEmailAddressHere

If you already have a web page, click File then click open file.

Composer File window

Before you publish(copy) your web page to a web server like Cox, you must setup composer
to know where to upload your web file, only do this one time for each web server (e-mail).
Note: your Cox Personal Web Space must be activated before you can Publish, See Method (1)
Composer Setings

With Composer you can publish many different web pages to many different servers,
Be careful to use the correct file name with the correct server.

Composer Publish
         
Done, now your a Web Master, always remember to do a "save as" so you save your web file in
the correct PC folder, then publish to the correct server.


Method (3) Use tripod,  Under development: Good luck
