Microsoft FrontPage

DATA PROCESSING SS2

Microsoft FrontPage is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and website administration tool. It was part of the Microsoft Office suite of programs from 1997 to 2007 but is missing from Office 2010. As a WYSIWYG editor, FrontPage is designed to hide the details of a page's HTML code from the user, making it possible for novices to easily create web pages and sites.

Listed below are some tutorials that will get you up to speed with many of the common tasks that you would perform in Microsoft FrontPage to create web pages. Each tutorial will guide you carefully step by step, and will include detailed screenshots of everything you should see.

FrontPage Basics

 

 

Using Microsoft FrontPage you can plan, create, and work with web sites. However, before we start designing and creating our web pages, we first need to set the site up to hold those pages. To set up your website in FrontPage, click File > New > Web. Select a FrontPage web type from the options listed. If you click once on each option you will see a brief description on the right side of the screen. Specify a location on your computer's hard drive where your website will be stored and click OK. If your adding a "sub site" to your main site, select Add to Current Web. You can now create, edit and delete web pages on your new website. When you have finished making your changes, save the site by clicking File > Save As.

Before you even touch FrontPage, it's always a good idea to sketch out roughly how you want your website to look. You use your sketches to define the layout. Once the layout is defined, you can fill it with content. For example, you'll want to add text, hyperlinks, pictures, and interactive buttons.

Adding Pages To Your Website Using FrontPage

Now that your website has been created in FrontPage, we can add some web pages to it. Click File > New > Page. Choose the first tab (General) to select a regular page. If you click once on each page you can see a preview and description of it.

If you want to create a frames based page (argh!) select the second tab (Frames). We will not be looking at frames in this tutorial as they are the Devil's work.

To create a stylesheet, select the third tab (Style Sheets). Cascading styles sheets (CSS) is the way of the future and we'll be covering this expansive subject in other tutorials. Repeat the mantra "Tables are bad (unless presenting tabular data) and CSS will cleanse my soul".

You can add text to your newly created web page, simply by typing.

Suremoneyng Investment Review: Legit or Scam

What is Suremoneyng Investment? Suremoneyng Investment is a funding network, can also be called a Ponzi Scheme because of its operation, However Suremoneyng investment platform promises investors 100% profit on their investment. The first investment gets this 100% after 5 days. What’s more is that Suremoneyng investment allows users to withdraw only the profit amount and then capital when you cycle out. However, there is something I want you to know that majority of the people don’t realize. Suremoney says you get 100% profit on your first investment, but I say no. This is because the system does not allow you to withdraw both your capital and profit at once, when  due until you reinvest. Now, your investment can be anything from N5,000 to N50,000. You are also not allowed to make re-commitments lower than what you invested before. That is, if you invest 10,000 at start, the least amount of re-commitment is 10,000. But you are free to increase your investment. HOW DOES SUREMONEYNG ...

Dreams And Goals

A dream  or vision chart is a picture you can create using newspaper or magazine clippings that represent your dream, such as quotes or pictures and paste them onto a board. In this post I show you how to create your very own dream or vision chart.   Dreams V’s Goals   Dreams differ from goals in that your Dreams are your big goals. For example retire at 40, travel the world.  These are your dreams. How you get there are your smaller goals. Obviously only you can decide what you want your Dreams to be, but here we look at how you can make them real. How you can make them real is by using a technique called visualisation. This is where you ‘see’ your Dreams through pictures and words – it’s about making your dreams ‘real’ by grouping together pictures of the things that represent your dreams to you. Let me demonstrate this for you. Say you want to buy a new car. Let’s say it’s a BMW. Suddenly, every car you see on the road is a BMW.   Funny thing is, yo...
