You will need to carefully follow these steps. Once you have it right this time then you will be right as rain for the rest of your life or at least this course or at least for the next few weeks - which ever comes first...

1. As is shown on page 17 begin a new web template by selecting File > New >  New Web site  "One page Web site..."

4. Proceed as is described on page 22 step 4

5. NOW FOR THE crucial STEP. In order for me to see your work in your folder you will need to drag the "Glass folder" into your FrontPage  folder labeled  Lesson 1. Of course as you know you will need to open My Computer and navigate to your "my Documents" folder" where you will behold the presence of your "My Web Sites" folder - and at the same time you will need to have your FrontPage  folder labeled  Lesson 1 opened. in this "special" place will reside each new web site folder that you will make.

Do the exercise on page 24 and save it as WHAT YOUR NEW WEB SITE (AS DESCRIBED ON PAGE 24) WILL BE CALLED [FOR EXAMPLE I SET UP MY EXAMPLE AS ] in your  FrontPage  folder labeled  Lesson 1

TO DO BEFORE LEAVING THIS SECTION:

• If you skipped any pages so far - go back and know these pages. On page 13 'DISPLAY HTML TAGS' do that now in your FrontPage window. (View > Reveal Tags)

• Click the 'Split' view button at the bottom of the FrontPage window. Watch what happens as you type something here - try putting it in bold - deselect the bold. Notice how the html code brackets what you write in bold - <b> try putting it in bold - </b>  Try different font sizes; for example big, small, green, orange, underline, italics, and covered in poo colour.
