Background Information

Today we are going to explain the basics of web page development. Although this may sound scary, we are going to start slow and work our way into more advanced stages.

We are going to use Mozilla Composer to develop our website.  In Composer, we will do all our work such as typing, adding images, and making hyperlinks.   Again, Mozilla Composer is for making our web page.  

When you want to view your web page, as it would look on the Internet, click on the "View in Navigator" button.  This will open up Internet Explorer (look for the flashing blue Netscape Navigator icon on your bottom tool bar) and place your page in it.  Voila, you are looking at your page as it would appear on the Internet. 

Note: Your page looks like it is on the Internet but you are really just viewing it from your computer.  This means that other people cannot view your web page, yet.
