Hello and welcome to a small tutorial for making your simple yet powerful website. The tools you will need for this are quite easily available. No fancy stuff involved as I am keeping it very simple one to get you started Required Softwares: 1) Notepad Procedure: First of all make an empty folder called “site”. You can make it anywhere but lets make it on your desktop. Now open your Notepad. Usually it is in your Start Menu>>Programs>>Accessories Save it as “head.php” in the “site” folder that you just created. Now put the code below in it. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”> <html> <head> <title>YOUR TITLE HERE</title> <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″> <meta description = “YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE”> <meta keywords = “YOUR KEYWORDS HERE”> </head> <body> <table width=”780″ border=”1″ align=”center”> <tr> <td colspan=”3″> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=”200″> <a href=”index.php”>Home</a><br> <a href=”about.php”>About</a><br> <a href=”info.php”>Info</a><br> </td> <td width=”380″> Save the file “head.php” after putting the code above in it and close the Notepad. Now open up Notepad again and put the code below in it and save it as “foot.php” </td> <td width=”200″>Right Side Banner Place here</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=”3″ align=”center”>Footer Text Here</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Close the “foot.php” after saving it. Open up another Notepad and save it as “index.php” Put the code below in it. <?php include(”head.php”); ?> Write your main page content here <?php include(”foot.php”); ?> Save the “index.php” file and make 2 copies of it. Rename one copy to “about.php” and another to “info.php” Open “index.php” and put the main page content where it says “Write your main page content here” save it and close it. Open “about.php” and put the about page content where it says “Write your main page content here” save and close it. Same way with the “info.php” file open it and put the info page content where it says “Write your main page content here” save and close it. You can play with the content or with the menu side in head.php. While to show some banners you can edit foot.php and put in some banners that will be shown on the right side of the website. Also don’t forget to edit the text in the foot.php where it says “Footer Text Here” You are done with your first website. Now the colors and images etc is all upto you. But this will get you started with a basic skeleton of the website Next time I think I will continue with the usage of images and generating dynamic pages itself. |

Great job man - i can see you really want to help. Err, but why did you use php as an example for making first websites? i would have prefer you just say html - really no difference just that if you do not have an offline server, you may not be able to run php directly. I am a little confused when i started seeing php codes in "first website". Maybe u should tell us how to run the sample index.php you just created. Mind you, i appreciate what you are tryin to do and will pop in once in a while to answer any questions your students may be asking - but i will ask you this - how will we run this first website we have created? |

No problem man - just carry go - i hav some business to handle outside the net for now - though i will pop in every now and then to see what is going on. Meanwhile, u can look at the learn html book on my website maybe it may guide u a bit in helping beginners, all u will need to do it just add some explanations where necessary, afterall it is only a book and is not interactive - u will find it on www.mwebng.net/?net=dl |

@okcharly - it seems you are quite new here - dont worry the teacher will try to explain better to you. @teacher - ehm - this is part of wat i was sayin - it is better to start 'simple' by using html. If you are going php, even if u end up writing only html codes in it - u will still need to teach your students how to install maybe wamp server and guide them to how to successfully create their first web page, and then every other thing will follow - or when u started, u just started directly from php? |
