Web Space: Upload Guide For Web Artist (1)
This page will take you through designing a simple web site and then uploading it
to your web space for all to see. We recommend that you follow the step by step guide,
just to become familiar with the design and upload process.
Please note, there is a separate guide for Web Artist 2 as the instructions differ from those below.
1. Load the Web Artist program (you do not need to be connected to the Internet yet).
2. Close 'Tip of the Day' and Select 'Create a web site from scratch', Click 'OK'
3. You will be presented with a blank (white) window titled 'Page 1'. Select a
background from the panel at the top and drag it in to 'Page 1'.
4. Select the text icon/button at the top of the page.
5. Select a font at the top of the page and drag it on top of your new background.
6. Type some text in to the text box such as 'Welcome to the web site of Fred
Smith, I haven't moved in yet so call back soon!'.
7. Format the text using the tools in the top left corner of the screen. Make sure
the page is set to be the 'homepage' (also known as the index page - the first page that people see when they type your web address) by checking that the icon in the right hand pane next to 'Page 1' is a picture of a house. If it isn't, right-click the icon to change it. You do not need to manually name this page to make it an index page as Web Artist handles this automatically.
8. Add a graphic or two from the clipart button on the top bar.
9. From the 'File' menu (top left) select 'Save Web Site As...'
10. Name the web site 'htdocs.ows' (must be lower case). You must use this name otherwise your site will not appear on the Internet
11. From the 'File' menu select 'Save Web Site to Internet...'
12. A dialogue box may appear asking you to select which Internet Dial up account
you wish to use. If you only have one Internet Connection set up, this dialogue may not appear.
13. A new dialogue will appear asking for your FTP
settings. These are as follows:
| Host FTP Address |
As explained in this pop-up window, your web site address and Host FTP Address are the same thing. |
| Host Directory That Will Contain
Your Web Site |
(Leave Blank) |
| User ID |
Your Freeola User Name
|
| Password |
Your Freeola
Password |
14. The program should now go through the process of uploading your web site. When it has completed, load a
web browser such as Internet Explorer and type in your web address. As explained in the Basic Guide to FTP & Web Space, your web address will either be based on any of your Freeola500 addresses or your own Domain Name. For example, the e-mail address 'bob@spursfans.com' translates to the web address of 'www.bob.spursfans.com'. Similarly, if you have your own domain hosted at Freeola (for example, 'tomhoy.com') the web address would be 'www.tomhoy.com'.
We recommend you read the user manual that was included with Web Artist for information on the entire range of features available.
