For your website design unit – The 5 Golden Rules!
1. Have your USB ready for the first lesson and bring it to each lesson.
2. Have ALL your website files – web page files and pictures – in the ONE folder.
(You can have sub-folders – one for your pictures and one for your web pages – in this main folder if you wish.)
3. Keep this updated website folder on your USB
plus have a backup copy on another computer.
4. First make a table on each webpage before you paste writing or insert pictures on page.
Put your writing and pictures into the squares (cells) of the table.
5. Remember, to help you position text and pictures, you can insert more tables with extra
squares (cells) into the squares (cells) of the main table on your page.
