Welcome to steves
Net-Page
right click on any of these to save them to your hard
disc to help you put together your own pages at a later date
this
page is intended to 
be useful for those
who want links purely to get web page related
info.
Begginners!!When downloading
files etc from the net the first thing to do is ensure that you have a file(or
directory) into which to put them. You can put them into 'My Documents',
or create an alternative.
1]To create an alternative open up 'My Computor'/Operating[C:]/
and with the mouse placed in a space, not on a file, RIGHT click, a menu
list appears. Click 'New' (wait), another menu appears, go to 'Folder',
A new folder appears with the title 'new folder' coloured in. Place curser
on the coloured part and click once. This leaves a blank space into which
you can place your own title. "My downloads" or whatever.Again place curser
on a blank space and right click. go to 'Arrange icons'/ 'by name' and this
will automatically tidy up the placing of files on the screen. The file
is now ready to be used.
2]There are two types of files that are
downloaded from the net. Those that come ready to use, usually with the
extention '.exe' just click on install.exe or setup.exe, and it will go
through the install process.The most common type have the extention'.zip'.Zip
files are compressed and you have to have a program to uncompress them.
The best program is Winzip, this is shareware,but you dont have to pay for
it. (It asks you to pay after 21 days but still continues to work after
that period of time. If you pay it stops reminding you, and allows you to
zip up files if you want, but for the moment all we're interested in is
unzipping files.)The winzip program installs on your system, once you click
on the downloaded file. Once its on , you dont have to do anything else
with it. Go to the site that is offering the downloading program you want
and once downloaded the Winzip program takes over.It will ask you to which
directory you want the program put into. Once you specify the file you want
, it continues installing the program that you downloaded.Close Winzip and
your ready to go.
CREATING WEBPAGES!To
start with, there are several sites that allow you to upload your pages
to them and/or have the faclity to allow you to build your page on-line.
The most popular is likely to be Geocities
.Others are Tripod
.Also Spree
That boast's unlimited webspace. There is also Webjump
.All these sites
are worth a look, but there really is no point attempting to produce a page
for the shear hell of it! Try to work out what you want to say, promote,whatever
well before attempting an on-line web creation, or using your own pc software.
After you have had a
look at these sites you will soon realise that there are affiliate programmes
that pay cash for having banners put on your pages. These are quite exciting
but do look at the small print. Amazon com will bill you if a costomer returns
an item after clicking on a banner on your site. i would hope that this
is to retrieve a payment that they credited you with, [this is unclear].
There are also traders that will put your banner on their site if you put
their's on your's. You will find all of these from the above sites.
The ones that I
use come mainly from Clicktrade
.
When you get accepted
for participating in these programmes you are presented with the html code.
Use your curser to select all the code. Go to EDIT on your browser and select
COPY. Bring up your page [off - line] and go to EDIT, and select PASTE.
The code will be transferred to your page. Again select all the code and
select HTML from your page making software. Save, and preview [on-line]
this will show your page with the banner.
Beware that a lot of
banners will slow down how your page loads and could even put off the very
people you want to see your work.

Another way of getting people to view your site
is to join a web ring.
Use your search engine to bring up web+ring and you'l see
that a whole range of subjects are covered. Choose ones that closely concern
the content of your pages and click on 'join
ring' . Again you will be emailed with the
html code that you copy and paste into you web pages.
