General notes

• Open Dreamweaver
• Create a new file called index.html and save it in your public_html folder
• Type your name at the top of the page. Change colors of the type using the properties pallet. Notice how the hexidecimal color scheme works.
• Insert the jpg from your first exercise.
• Save the file again.
• Update permissions -- just go to: myru.radford.edu / My Accounts / Quick links / and click on Update Web Permissions

Why dont photos show up? . There are three possible reasons for this:

• 1) Is it really a jpg? Maybe it's not really in jpg format or it doesnt have the jpg label. (Go back in Photoshop and save as jpg again);
• 2) Is it in the right place? The jpg file isnt in the public_html folder. (Check on the file level to be sure it is. Copy it there if you need to).
• 3) Is the path reference correct? Your html code should point directly to a file that is in your public_html folder.
  • So THIS: <img src="yourpicture.jpg">
  • and NOT this: <img scr="H:/files/226pics.yourpicture.jpg">
