How to Download Instructional Website Templates

Netscape Composer 4.x
[Please note: to preserve the paths of images and other page elements, Netscape Composer Preferences must be properly set. Go to Preferences/Composer/Publishing and CHECK Maintain Links; UNCHECK Keep images with page.]

1. In Netscape, look at the page you want to edit.
2. Save As - go to the File menu and select Save As and save the page in a www directory on your local hard drive. (Mac users - in the dialog box, specify "source" not "text" and save the page with the proper extension e.g., filename.htm)
3. Edit as needed - go to the File menu, select Open Page in Composer and, from the dialog box of your local directory, select the file you just downloaded and saved. Edit file and save again.

Preview the edited page in Netscape, and then upload the file to your website using the FTP application of your choice.

You can also edit the source code using any text editor. Add or edit items to suit your needs. Use the "Save As" command to rename the file and save your changes. Upload the file to your central webserver account. (If you do not have an IUB Central Webserver Account, you can request one from the IUB Webmaster's page.) Instructional Support Services consultants and the Teaching Resources Center worked closely with the staff of TLTC in suggesting items for inclusion in this course syllabus.
