Making a simple Classics WWW site:

1. Decide what you want to put on the Web.
   Considerations of convenience, accessibility, security
2. Assemble content and design.
   Look at other on-line course materials at UT and elsewhere
3. Keep text format simple -- you can only align left, right or center. For more complex formatting, you must use "tables" in html.
4. Images should be in JPEG or GIF format.
5. Open Claris Home Page
   a. Open your text document if in Simple Text or Text only, and format.
   b. If not Text only, open text in Word (etc.), select all, copy.
   Open New Page in Claris HomePage, paste. Now format text.
6. Note: If you prepare your text in Word, it is a good idea to print out a formatted copy, then save it as Text-Only. Open in Claris HomePage and re-format. Some Lab stations do not have Word.
7. Place images.
8. Create links.
9. Preview in Netscape.
10. When finished, save as "name.html."
    a. Use Fetch to post to your UNIX account (see WWW FAQs for more information) -- or --
    b. get it to me for posting on Web Central [e-mail as attachment or drop floppy in mailbox]
