What's the difference between a web page and a website?

     Create a quick index web page that illustrates a personal interest or a professional goal by using MS Publisher's templates.

     Identify elements of your web page that were also present in the websites from the tour.

     Publish your web page to your folder on the network.

     Observe the files located in the web folder.

Do you prefer to use Publisher or FrontPage to create a website?

     MS FrontPage allows a user to create a WEBSITE which is a collection of:   

PAGES Go to File>New Page or right click in Folder list
TEXT Type just like you would using MS Word
PICTURES Go to Insert>Picture
HYPERLINKS Select text and go to Insert>Hyperlink or right click
OTHER TRICKS Coming soon!

    Create a schematic drawing or tree diagram of all the different links you might create for your website.
