Developing Portfolio Web Pages Introduction and Overview Getting started in creating some of the pages described in the Overview Workshops are hosted by the faculty portfolio mentor group. Online help in web page creation is available as follows: Create a Space on the Server - instructions to create a directory called User_Html on the Elmhurst Server, which will host your portfolio. Conversion of Word Processor Files to HTML Files - this is the procedure to convert from your word processing files in the language of the web which is HTML. What happens when files are converted? This procedure will cause some loss of special formatting (K. Evans and E. Page). Creating the Home page or Index.Html - this is the first page and will be created from a template. This will be like the title page and table of contents for the portfolio. Editing HTML files - usually after files have been converted, it is necessary to make some modifications, links, colors, or adding images. Creating Links - use these procedures to link files together and to link to other sources of information. Enhanced Programming Techniques - add color and images to pages. Tips for Adding Tables - a method to bring organization and highlights to pages (K. Evans and E. Page). Rules for Saving Pages - names and file structures. Making and Using Your Own Template Pages Uploading Files to the Elmhurst Server - after all files are completed and the links checked, they need to be uploaded.
