Fourth html class: Thursday 4th October 2002

HTML Editors

These allow us to enter our tags into an "edit window", Then giving us a "viewing" element within this software package. You should do a search for HTML editors on Tucows .. there are many variations available. Other software packages, such as: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Lotuc, Word Perfect and many others. They will all allow you to save your work as file type ".html(1)". (Personally I have always used Microsoft Word - and then saved the work as .txt. This does not give me any prompts or assistance. I have to find errors myself).

Review

FTP - File Transfer Protocol - find a software - search FTP client. You must have FTP software in order to transfer your html files to the internet. (Instructor suggested TCP/IP. I use WS FTP, which I downloaded from TuCows several years ago (on the advice of Sentex, who are my ISPs (Internet Service Providers). I like this FTP because it gives a loud signal when the file has gone across and very definite indications for connection and transfer.

You must ask your ISP for instructions to upload your own web-site. Usually you are already paying for a website and the amount of space they have provided varies from 5 to 20 megabytes average. (Normally you will find it impossible to upload without actually being on the telephone and speaking with your ISP tech. I guess this is for security reasons.

Some sites provide "free" website space. Such as Angelfire. They do ask for your personal information - street address, telephone number etc. I do not care for this, as they build mailing lists and this information alone is very valuable to them - and other marketers. Do a search for free hosting accounts/sites.

UNORDERED/ORDERED LISTS

These list commands will cause automatic tabulation, indents, numerical or alphabetical notations See p. 138 in the HTML for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth Castro as follows:-

Unordered - has various bullets

<UL>

< LI > This is bulleted
< LI > And so is this
< LI > And so is this
< /UL >

>OL< types = A, a, I, i. >/OL<

  1. This is alphabetic type ordered list in capitals:
  2. This is alphabetic type ordered list in capitals:
  3. This is alphabetic type ordered list in capitals:
  4. This is alphabetic type ordered list in capitals:

  1. This is alphabetic type ordered list in lower case:
  2. This is alphabetic type ordered list in lower case:
  3. This is alphabetic type ordered list in lower case:
  4. This is alphabetic type ordered list in lower case:
  1. Item one
  2. Item two
  3. Item number three. So far as I can see, LI stands for Line Indent and none of these formulae will work without it.
