The Checklist Step by step instructions that guide you in setting up a web site, a web page, and an external style sheet. As well, you will learn how to set the Doctype.
Set Up an Empty Web Site This tutorial shows you the steps to take in creating a web site. In fact, a web site is merely a folder that is created to hold all the files and other assets that collectively become your web site. You must always start a new web site by creating this folder.
Set the Doctype A Doctype must be set prior to creating any web pages. This tutorial walks you through the steps in setting the Doctype.
Create a Blank Web Page Once the web site has been setup and the doctype set, we can then proceed to making our first web page by creating a blank html web page. Note: we are not yet ready to design this page. We have just a few more steps before making the layout.
Create an External Style Sheet The External Style Sheet is your first taste of CSS. There are three different types of CSS styles, but the most recommended type is the External style sheet.
Save Web Page as a Dynamic Web Template This is just a fancy term for "template". So don't let the 'dynamic' part throw you.
Design The Home Page Begin to design your
home page which is index.html. Watch the
videos to learn how to
get started designing.
Check out the books below. Keep reading to keep learning. Once you get the hang of using Expression Web, I recommend that you read "CSS, The Missing Manual". This book is quite readable and full of excellent information.
Of course, you will certainly want to read my book when it hits book shelves very soon. If you like the tutorials on this web site, then you will love the book. This site only contains a fraction of the information in the Book.
