Welcome Back Year 9 - I hope that you are well rested and ready to go! We have a lot to accomplish today.

First of all each of you has to finish creating his/her html page.

Next, we have to put them online. It's not hard to do that but there are lots of steps involved. I would rather if we all did it at once (to be more efficient).

Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and type in the address http://geocities.yahoo.com
Press Enter
On the page locate the Sign Up Now link

Complete the registration form
After the form is complete a box appears that asks for the account password. Key this information in and then click Continue
A license agrement is displayed. Read the info and then click I Accept
As advertising is placed on the page when the Choose a Topic screen is displayed choose Schools and Education to ensure appropraite banners appear on the site.
Click the Submit This Form button
A dialog box appears that summarizes account information. Print this sheet. Write the password on it. Put it in a safe place.
Click the Build your page now! link

Open the File Manager
Click the Manage tab
Locate the File Manager link and click on it
Clcik the Open File Manager link

Upload the Files
Click the Upload Files button in the main directory.
Click the Browse button beside the first box
Click the drop down arrow beside the Look in box and go to the html folder in your file on the school's server.
Select the file named index and then click Open
Click the Browse button in the second box, and this time select a picture file
Continue to select until all the files that support your page are uploaded

Look at your Web Page on the Internet
Click the View My Site hyperlink
You will see your webpage. (There will be advertising on the right.)

Hooray! You did it!
