How I Set Up My Edward Lear Website (oiluj.com)

by Julio

Step #1: Navigational Structure. For my website, I used a program called FrontPage. First, I set up a navigational structure that looked like this:

My website has a Home page, and 5 other pages called: Edward Lear, Lear’s Poetry, My Limericks, More Limericks, and Good-by.

Step #2: Theme Heading. I chose a theme heading for my web called "Citrus Punch". This theme heading links all the pages together, and makes it possible for you to move from one page to another.

Step #3: Writing. To write on the website, I selected a font, font color and font size. On the page called "Edward Lear," I wrote a biography. On "Lear’s Poetry," I put in some of his poetry and explained what a limerick is. On "My Limericks" and "More Limericks," I wrote some of my own limericks.

Step #4: Pictures. For the other pages, I had to do more complicated things than writing, because I wanted to use pictures. On the page called "Lear’s poetry," I wrote about Lear’s poetry and then I scanned a definition of "limerick" and a page of Lear's poetry onto the computer using a program called PhotoDraw. Once I had scanned pictures, I inserted them on my "Lear’s Poetry" page. For my pages called "My limericks" and "More limericks," I went back to PhotoDraw and animated some pictures that I drew, and some clip art. Then, I inserted these animated pictures into my web. I wrote a limerick to describe each picture. On the "Good-bye" page, I inserted more animated pictures onto my web after making them in the PhotoDraw program.

Step #5: Hyperlinks. After I did this, I created hyperlinks. A hyperlink is something you can click on that will send you to another place. First, I made hyperlinks to send people to the top or bottom of a page, or to another page. Then, I made one that lets you send e-mail. Finally, I linked my site to other Internet sites that talk about Edward Lear or have pictures of his art.

Step #6: Special Components. I also added a hit counter to my website. The hit counter keeps track of the number of people who come on and off the site. I also put in thumbnail pictures that act as hyperlinks to show more detailed pictures than the ones on the thumbnails.

Step #7: Publishing the Website. I saved my website in FrontPage and published it by hitting the "Publish" button. You can see my website by going to http://oiluj.com.
