Creating Web Pages

1. Edit your document in Appleworks or Word. Do not center title.
Remember to include your name and the year. Select a san serif font (Arial,
Geneva, Helvetica, Verdana)font.

2. Split your document into sections so that the pages aren't too long. Use Page
Break (Format menu) to create multiple pages; do not keep hitting return. Use
one page for the Introductory paragraph giving the objectives, 1 or more
pages for the experimental protocol and 1 page for the results. Keep one line
blank between title and text.

3. Convert document to HTML.

Method 1 - Use 'Save as HTML" feature in Word.

Method 2 - Create new web page using HomePage or DreamWeaver. Set up table to organize your text and pictures. Copy text and paste into appropriate locations.

For either method, call your Lab Protocolorganism_***.html. The organismnames
I've used are urchin, chick, mouse, fish, frog (short for amphibian). Save it into
into an appropriatly named folder in the organismsubfolder in the DB_Lab
folder.

Method 3 - Use Myrmidon utility to 'print' your document into HTML.

Go to the Chooserand select Myrmidon. Return to the document. Select
landscapemode in Page Setup. Go to the Formatmenu and set the right
margin to 2.5 inches, left to 1.25 inches. You may also want to set the bottom
margin to 2 - 3 inches to keep your text in viewable chunks. Click on the Edit
button and select HomePage to open document. Select Print, click on Publish
button. Rename your document a short, but descriptive name (use underscore
_ for blanks). Call your Lab Protocolorganism_***.html. The organismnames
I've used are urchin, chick, mouse, fish, frog (short for amphibian). Save it into
into an appropriatly named folder in the organismsubfolder in the DB_Lab
folder. Myrmidon will create a multipage, linked set of html documents
and an associated imgsfolder with the images of the symbols it uses.
