I set this template up as a table with four rows and two columns. 

"Open this page in an HTML editor. Then . . ." 

I sent out a preliminary version of this site for review with the statement above put in early on . . . Thanks to Dr. Whitney at UT for pointing out that most won't know what an "HTML editor" is! 

If you are interested, each semester Dr. Whitney's Information Network Applications class works with nonprofit organizations to develop websites on KORRnet.

Please read on . . . making this page isn't really difficult.

First of all, HTML is the language, or code, of which web pages are made, and an HTML editor is allows you to create and edit the code that makes a web page. HTML means Hyper Text Markup Language, or simply, hypertext. What makes hypertext different than regular text is that it features the ability to create links that allow a reader to move about within a document or to another document. For example, I used an HTML editor to make this bold text into a link. To demonstrate, use your mouse to click the link in the last sentence (the underlined, bold text). You can use pictures or text as links to allow your readers to go to any part of your website or to another website.

The kind of HTML editor I have in mind is like a word processor for web pages. In fact, most newer word processors, such as Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect, feature the ability to create and edit hypertext. To make the pages on this site I used a free HTML editor, called Composer, that comes with the Netscape web browser. 

The Notes below tell you how to get Composer and how to use it.

Other HTML editors, both free and for sale, are discussed briefly on the page about editors. 

As soon as you have an editor of some kind . . . 

Open this page in an HTML editor (In Composer, click File on the menu bar, then click Open Page.). Then, use the "save as" command to save this page as any page you want. Then modify this text and delete or add anything to customize your new page. I also included a blank template, without any instructional text,  that you can open and modify:

Please refer to the Notes below for more extensive, step by step, instructions on how this page was put together. 

If you have any questions about how to use the information on this website, or if you want to make suggestions or offer comments, please email me, ssharp@korrnet.org or, if you don't have email use the Comment Form that goes along with this template.

Also, I have created a website with a good bit of information on how to make web pages on KORRnet at:

When you go to any of the links on the left, you'll see how I modified each page from a copy of this one to suit what that page's content will be. I tried to include content on each of these template pages that will help you modify them to your needs.

Please look below this text to see the elements used on the pages of this site. 

Forms

I also included all the tags for an online form so that you can use pop up menus and other items on your site. The forms may be used to get feedback from the visitors to your website. I put a link to a generic form on the Contact page.
