Web Page Making ideas

Web Page writing decisions:
Before you can get there, you must know where "there" is.

Purpose: What do want to do?
Inform
Convince
Entertain
Express an idea
Inspire
Artistic expression
Whatever
Index Page
Common default names (means you don't have to type them in) are:

default.htm
default.html
default.asp (Active Server Pages)
default.stm (Server Side Includes)
index.htm (My favorite)
index.html
index.asp (Active Server Pages)
index.stm (Server Side Includes)
Site and Domain Names be named something like what they are.
Main Graphic Not too big, generally GIF or JPG
Background Color or Texture in harmony with the theme.
Basic Page Elements the HTML tags so the browser knows how to read it.
Finishing Touches anything that is wrong.
Testing Your Pages on the hard drive. Some things won't work on the hard drive, such because it is read in "file" protocol instead of "http" protocol but will work on the web. NOTE: If the file name is in upper case, it will work on the hard drive but not on a UNIX server. For that reason it is best to name everything in lower case letters, and call them out in lower case letters which will work on both
Uploading Your Pages to your site. Use DOS FTP or Windows FTP. Some ISPs will provide a program to upload pages. Be sure to upload files in lower case (unless there is a reason it has to be otherwise such as in applets)
Maintaining Your Site. Check that it works right.
