Saving Your Webpage
You can get prepared now for saving by creating a folder
on your hard drive, which will be the container for the HTML code document
that you are creating and all the images that you have selected to be part
of your webpage.
You will be given two options for saving your webpage: |
|
|
-
Option 1:
emailing the HTML code of your page to your personal
email address.
The page and images arrive as attachments in an email to you, and can
be saved onto your hard drive in the folder that you created as a container
for your webpage. Alternately, the email can be forwarded to a network
administrator for posting to your school or district server.
Please check to see if the email service being provided in your
district allows for attachments.

If you have a PC computer, here is what to do
when your email arrives:
Your email will contain the code for your HTML document and instructions
on how to save it. Saving your webpage when it is emailed to you is a two-step
process. Once you receive your email message you will need to capture
the HTML code that is contained within your email message and your attached
images and save them to your hard drive.
-
Saving the HTML Code: To save the HTML code, highlight and then copy
the text from your email message and paste it into a Notepad or another word
processing document. Select from your menu: File->Save as and in
the File Name dialogue box , type index.html as the name of your
webpage. This will save your file under the title index.html,
which is a standard title for the first page of a website. Place this in
the folder you have created for your webpage.
-
Images: Your images will arrive as attachments to the email, so you
can "right-click on the attached image icon in the email message, and
select the SAVE AS command to direct the saving of a copy of the image
(without changing the image name) into the folder which contains your
index.html file.
