• 10/24/01 ~ The first day of class, every student  opened a HotMail e-mail account and sent the instructor and classmates a message.

1. When sending e-mail - be sure to identify yourself  by completing  the "identity" information in preferences for your mail, using the "signature" card of your mail, or merely signing your name. In this way, your instructor and others will know from whom they have received mail. 
2. Don't know where to start? Maybe try visiting an "internet portal" site. There are several available. Each has different styles and features, but their purpose is the same. They are trying to provide a good starting point for surfing the net - links to news, sports, education, reference material, and everything in-between. Some examples include: Yahoo, Excite, and Infoseek. There are many more as well. Some that are specialized on a general topic area were submitted as Links of The Week and can be found on the Links page.
3. To save an image or background you like from a page, position your cursor over the area and right click your mouse, choosing "save image as" and or "save background as" and save it here at Webster to your disk in the "a" drive or somewhere on your computer at home - either "a" or "c" drives. When you begin creating your web page, you'll already have something you can use. 
4. If you've forgotten to "add bookmarks" as you work your way into a set of web pages, use your history (usually in the "go" pull-down menu) to bookmark your way back out. Then you will be able to visit again. 
5. If you locate some interesting information or an article at a web site after you have entered a password or ID number, you cannot make  this site directly available to others by providing them the URL link. Instead provide an APA citation of the information so they can find it using their own password or perhaps locate it through other means.
6. As you are working on your web pages, be sure to check your links to make sure they connect (use Browse Page from File Menu)  before  FTP'ing them to the auden computer server. In addition, be sure to Title your pages (from Format-Page Colors & Properties; General). Record your .html page names and the names of all .gif and .jpg images so they all will be sent and appear where you want them.
7. As you are working on your web pages, make sure to include an e-mail link so visitors to your site can communicate with you. Also remember to link the individual pages together so one can maneuver easily aroung your site.
