Lesson 1: Building a New Web Site

---

Getting Started

In this first lesson, you will use the Personal Web as a model for building a new FrontPage-based Web site template in the FrontPage Explorer.

To Create a New FrontPage Web

1. On the Windows task bar, click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click Microsoft FrontPage.

   The FrontPage Explorer opens and the Getting Started dialog box is displayed. The Getting Started dialog box is a convenient starting point whenever you begin working in FrontPage. You can open an existing FrontPage-based Web site from a list of recently opened Webs, or you can create a new FrontPage-based Web site.

2. In the Getting Started dialog box, choose Create a New FrontPage Web and then click OK.

   The New FrontPage Web dialog box is displayed. Here, you tell FrontPage what kind of FrontPage-based Web site you want to create, and what the title of the new Web will be.

3. In the New FrontPage Web dialog box, select One Page Web next to the number 1.

   This option will create a site consisting of a single home page.

4. Next to the number 2 in the New FrontPage Web dialog box, type Personal Web into the title field.

   "Personal Web" is the title of your new FrontPage-based Web site. This title helps you distinguish between multiple Web sites you create with FrontPage. As you type the name of your new FrontPage-based Web site, the FrontPage Explorer suggests a location where this FrontPage-based Web site will be stored. For this tutorial, accept the suggested location.

5. Click OK.

   FrontPage creates a new FrontPage-based Web site called "Personal Web."

   Note: Depending on the type of Web server you are using, you may be prompted for name and password authentication before the new FrontPage-based Web site is created. To proceed, enter the administrator name and password you chose during FrontPage Setup.
