Downloads

I've included on the CD-ROM all of the example files that are used in my book's work sessions and tutorials and a collection of HTML templates that you can use to bootstrap your own web publishing efforts. If you don't have a CD-ROM drive, you can download these files here:

All of the download files are in ZIP format. You will need an unzipping program to extract the contents. If you need an unzipping program, I recommend that you download and install Winzip. If you are a Mac user, I recommend that you download and install Stuffit Expander.

Example Files used in the book's work sessions and tutorials. If you don't have access to the book's CD-ROM, just download this ZIP file and use WinZip or other unzipping utility to unzip these files to an Html folder on your hard drive (C:\Html), and then use that folder as your working folder for doing the book's exercises and examples.

HTML Templates. If you don't have access to the book's CD-ROM, just download this ZIP file and use WinZip or other unzipping utility to unzip these files to a folder on your hard drive (C:\Html\template, for instance). Included are templates for creating an online calendar/schedule, gallery of your favorite photos or pictures, genealogy web site, newsletter, and resume. Also included are two templates for creating multiframe web sites, as well as a collection of generic templates that feature different looks and feels.

Web Art Sampler

AOL Readers

A fairly frequent question I've gotten from AOL readers is about how to run AOL's default web browser offline. As far as I know, you have to be connected to AOL to run its default browser. To do the tutorials, you should just connect to AOL and then run your browser as you normally would. To open a local HTML file, in AOL's Internet Explorer, click File, Open, and Browse, then go to C:\HTML and double-click on your HTML file (scratch.htm, etc.).

If you want to be able to browse offline, nothing says you can't download and install either Netscape Navigator 4.5 or Internet Explorer 5.0 so you can browse local HTML files offline.

Another fairly frequent question I've gotten from AOL readers is about how to publish web pages to a user's web folders on AOL's server. You can go to the keyword "My Place" in AOL and then select "Frequently Asked Questions" to get information on how to use My Place. I've also found a couple of links that describe the process of using My Place to publish your web pages to your folder on AOL's server:
