Preparing an HTML File

Your main home page file should be saved as;

index.html

When exiting pico, be sure to save it under that name.

A good way to start is to simply type the following; save it, and then from the system prompt;

chmod 644 *

and then view your page.

<title> Sample Homepage </title>
<h1> Welcome to Jeff Foster's Homepage </h1>
<p> Note that all pages begin with a title between the title and /title in angle brackets.

<p>

Headers are placed between h1 and /h1 in angle brackets.

<p>

To start a new paragraph, use <p>

<p>

To force a return use <br>

<p>

To create a link to another page;

<p>

<a href="http://www.eng.morgan.edu/~pha"> Professor Anderson's Page </a>

<p>

To create a link to another document;

<p>

<a href="resume.html"> My Resume </a>

<p>

Of course in doing this, you must also prepare a file resume.html in you www directory.

Now save this as index.html and exit to the system. Change the file permission using

chmod 644 *

The use either lynx or netscape to see what it looks like.

Good luck!
