Here is most of the hardware and software you should have:

• You will inevitably need a computer linked to the Internet (a.k.a. a Web server).

• In this course, your pages can be displayed through the Web server at the College of Humanities.

• For future pages you can develop your own site through some companies (e.g., Yahoo)

• To construct your Web page you can use any computer, but preferably one that allows you to make easy changes to your Website.

• You do not need to know HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), but such knowledge will be helpful in creating and changing Web documents.

• There are several HTML editors available (e.g., Dreamweaver). You can also create HTML code using vanilla text in a program such as Notepad. However, an editor speeds up many routine commands (e.g., creating links).

• When you have ordinary text, Microsoft Word allows you to save the document as an HTML file (one extension being .htm).

Once you have established a Website, you can go ahead with developing it:

• If you want to have more than one Web document, you must know how to create individual documents, which you then link together. (We have covered both activities in this class.)

• If you have a large number of documents, including pictures, you should create directories on the Website, and perhaps subdirectories.

• It is possible to link between documents in different directories, but you will need to know a little HTML.

• Once you create directories, you have created a highly structured Website. Before making any major decisions, it would be helpful to take a short course on site design and management (some of these courses are offered by UTS)
