Web Space: Upload Guide For Web Artist (2)
This page will take you through designing a simple web site and then uploading it
to your web space for all to see using the Web Artist 2 program. We recommend that you follow the step by step guide,
just to become familiar with the design and upload process. Please note that creating a web site using Web Artist 2 is slightly different from the original Web Artist.
1. Load Web Artist 2 (You do not need to be connected to the Internet yet) . A dialogue box will appear, click on 'Create a website from scratch' or click 'Close' and choose 'File' then 'New' from the 'File' menu. You will be presented with
a blank white screen called 'Page 1'.
2. Click on the 'Background' tab on the left hand side-bar of your screen, select a background for your web page and drag and drop the icon into the blank window.
3. To add some text to your page, click on the 'Text' tab on the left hand side-bar. Choose a text icon and drag and drop it into the 'page 1' window. Now add some text. Format the text using the tools in the top of the screen.
4. Repeat this process for adding other elements to your page such as navigation buttons, sounds and clipart images.
5. Once you have created your web site, select 'Save' from the 'File' menu and name the web site 'htdocs.ows' (must be lower case). You must use this name otherwise your site will not appear on the Internet.
6. Select 'Save website to the Internet' from the 'File' menu
7. The 'Upload' box will appear, you will now need to enter your FTP connection details to upload your web site. These details will be stored in Web Artist for future uploads or updates to your site which means you only need to enter these details once.
8. Click 'New' then 'Next'.
9. In the 'Destination Name' box give your connection a name (e.g.the name of your web site such as 'Freds Site'), in the 'Destination' box below choose 'Other' and click 'Next'.
10. Enter your Freeola User Name in the 'Username' box and your Freeola
Password in the 'Password' box, click 'Next'.
11. Enter your web site address as the FTP Destination address. As explained in this pop-up window, your web site address and Host FTP Address are the same thing. Click 'Next'.
12. Leave the 'Directory Path' field blank and click 'Next'.
13. Enter your web address as the 'Home Page' and click 'Finish'. 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'.
14. Select the 'Destination' you just created and click 'Upload'. You may now be asked to select an Internet Connect so your computer can dial the Internet.
15. When the transfer is complete, click the 'Preview' button to view your web site.
We recommend you read the user manual that was included with Web Artist for information on the entire range of features available.
