Personal Home Page

Everybody needs a home page. This one has several categories, such as your favorite things, opinions, photos and links to other Web sites. Tailor each category to your tastes and personality, and you'll soon have your own home page!

The Family Page

The Web is the perfect forum for keeping families and circles of friends together. These days we're spread all over the country and the world!  Use this site to stay in touch, develop an on-line family album, report family news, create profiles of family members, maintain a perpetual calendar of birthdays and other important dates, and display your family tree.

It's a good idea to protect your family by keeping information such as addresses and vacation dates private. To get password protection for your family Web page, contact NaviSoft Web Hosting Service at (800) 879-6882, or your server administrator. Request services that will allow you to assign passwords to your Web sites.

Directions for Using Templates

NaviSoft's Templates are examples of fully structured Web pages and MiniWebs.  Take advantage of the structure we provide on each page - but you will want to replace the specific content of each page with your own.  You can use the pages by themselves, by saving them individually, or save the entire MiniWeb with many pages already structured and linked.  

What follows are steps for saving a Template to your own computer, editing it to be your own, and then publishing it to the Web.

Save a Template to your own computer:

Step 1: Select (click on) the template that matches the type of page or Web site you want to create.  The top page of that template will appear.

Step 2: Click on the MiniWeb icon (the "file folder" button to the left of the "Title:" field).  The MiniWeb window view of the template appears. The template's top page will be highlighted and all the pages and files in the template are visible.

Step 3: Use the "Save As" command to save the template MiniWeb under a different name. It's a good idea to save the template MiniWeb to your hard drive while you're working on it.

• Choose "Save As" from the File menu.
• To save locally, to your own computer, enter the local location into the "MiniWeb Location" field.
  • Enter the drive name, followed by the directories or folders that will hold your MiniWeb.
  • Then enter the name for your MiniWeb.
  • • **To saving to a PC with Windows, the MiniWeb must have been created with the MiniWeb filetype (Tools->Preferences->General) set to DOS (8.3 characters).
    • **When saving to a Mac, use colons ( : ) instead of backslashes between names.
  • Example:  c:\directry\directry\webname
  • Then click "OK"  -  The renamed template MiniWeb is now saved to your hard drive.

Edit the Template to make your own Web site:

Step 4: Create your own Web pages by using Navipress to edit text and change graphics.

• From the MiniWeb window, 2x click on the top page icon. (It's the one with the spider in the middle).
  • This will open the top page of the MiniWeb. (To open a different page you can 2x click on a different page icon)
• Browse the pages and edit as you please, replacing the template information with your own.
• To edit text, highlight the words you want to change and type in the new text. To add more text, just place the cursor at the end of a sentence and start typing.
• To change graphics, find and highlight the graphic you would like to use and click on the Copy button (or select Copy from the Edit menu). Next, highlight the graphic you want to replace and click the Paste button (or select Paste from the Edit menu). This will paste the new graphic into the old graphic's location.

Publish your Web page or MiniWeb to the World Wide Web.

Publishing your Web page(s) to the Web is just like saving to your computer except that you save to an online NaviServer. (If you wish you can publish NaviPress pages to other servers but that's the old way of doing things - it's not nearly as fast or easy) You can save to NaviSoft's public server (give it a try, with step 5), our custom Web Hosting Service, or any NaviServer you have permission to save to. Either way you go, once it's set up, it's the same - fast and easy.

Step 5: These instructions are for publishing to NaviSoft's public server. If you want to publish to our Web Hosting Service or another NaviServer, the instructions are the same, just different locations to save to.

• To publish a page, have the page's window active.  To publish a MiniWeb, have the MiniWeb's window active.
• Choose "Save As" from the File menu.
• Enter the Public Server's location into the "Location" field.
  • Enter http://public.navisoft.com/pub/
  • Then enter the name for your MiniWeb or your page*.
    • Example MiniWeb:  http://public.navisoft.com/pub/myweb
    • Example Page:  http://public.navisoft.com/pub/mypage.htm
    • *Page names conventionally include an .html or .htm suffix.
  • Then click "OK"  -  You're on the Web!
    

• It is a good precautionary measure to keep a backup copy of your webpages on your local hard drive. Therefore, even when saving to the server, it is best to conform to the filename restrictions that apply to your local platform - 8.3 for PC's, 32 characters for Mac.  This avoids possible problems when going to save things locally from a server.

If you need more instruction on how to save, edit, or publish, please refer to the manual, the quick start tutorial, the online documentation, or Navipress.
