This is some of the basics for web site updates. Sorry about all of the types... :-)

In design view you can type right in the design just like in a word processor. You can insert images, add links, format text, etc. This is handy, but you should learn the html code, too.

There are few basics to html: Html is made up of tags that format the page. Almost all tags have beginning tags and end tags. The stff between the tags is effected by the tags that surround it.
For example: <strong>This text will be bold.</strong> because it has the strong tag around it. Every thing that shows up on the web browser screen has to be between <body> and </body>.
You will see <table></table> In between you have table rows <tr></tr>. In between these you have table cells <td></td>. this is how a table is made in html. The following code is a table with one row and three cells:
<table>
   <tr>
       <td>This is where the text goes for cell one</td>
       <td>This is where the text goes for cell two </td>
       <td>This is where the text goes for cell three </td>
  </tr>
</table>
Play around. There are a bunch of tags.

Links are made with the <a> tag. See notes below. A link to a page on another site starts with http://. A link to a nother page on your site, just uses the file name.

Note this is on local view. To upload a file, make sure you are connected to the server. Highlight the file or files that you want to upload, then hit the upload button. Once it is done go to your web site on line and make sure it all uploaded. You may have to hit the refresh button to see the changes.

Create a new file.
