Introduction

With so many web page guides and resources available either on-line or in book stores, what could you learn from this guide that hasn't already been covered? Well, this one covers the essential steps required for a student at Brock University to create a simple web page and get it up on Badger. In tailoring this to your needs, we made several assumptions:

• You are a student registered at Brock University, and therefore are entitled to an account on the Badger server.
• You know how to log on to your Badger account.
• You have access to one of the computer labs at Brock.
• You have used a web browser, such as Netscape, enough to know what a web page is and that you would like one.

If you don't quite match the above description, don't despair! The computer lab advisors can help you open a Badger account, and show you how to use Netscape (as well as other applications) in the labs. In a few sessions on the computers, you can easily learn these basic computer skills.

If you do meet the above criteria, congratulations! In half an hour or less, you should be able to have your very own page on the World Wide Web (WWW). This guide will show you the bare essentials of web page publishing, how to get your page onto the web, and give you some references so you can learn how to add all kinds of extra features to your site. The manual covers only the basic commands in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), the language that web pages are written in, because of the wealth of HTML resources already available to you on the WWW.

We hope this guide makes your first journey into web page publishing a painless one!
