website is creating a home page
Posted by Parkzone Corsair in Hobby on November 17th, 2009
If you’re going to use this program to create a web page, you should first install two related Internet tools. Microsoft’s Web Publishing wizard and Personal Web Server both come with Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can load these tools from the original program CDs if you haven’t already installed them.
The Web Publishing wizard is a tool designed to help you upload pages to your ISP or WPP. After you have created your web page using FrontPage, follow the steps provided by the wizard to upload the pages. The wizard is effective for most ISPs and WPPs, but occasionally you might encounter a glitch. When this happens, you should call the WPP, and they can talk you through the process of uploading the web pages you’ve created.
The Microsoft Personal Web Server tool allows your PC to mimic a web server.Using this tool, you can create and test web pages on your own PC before you publish them on the Web by uploading them to a server maintained by your ISP or WPP.
Creating and Saving a Home Page with FrontPage
The first step in launching your own website is creating a home page. It’s the first page visitors see when they come to your site. Once you’ve created a home page, it’s easy to create links to other pages you set up using the same tools and procedures you used for creating your home page.
Creating a Slide Show from Scanned Photos
Posted by Parkzone Corsair in Hobby on September 7th, 2009
Despite their bad rap, slide shows need not be boring. In fact, they’re a great way to display your photos to an admiring (or at least polite) audience. Of course, you’re not really displaying slides, but creating the digital equivalent of a slide show. Most image-editing programs allow you to create a digital show from an existing album, or import photos from different locations on your computer. You might even be able to add sound effects.
To find out how to create a slide show using your image-editing program, search the Help index using the keyword “slide.” This is a standard term, although not all programs refer to a finished project as a slide show. For example, when you search for the word “slide” in PhotoDeluxe, the Help menu displays “slide show (see Photo Parade).” While both PhotoShop and PhotoDeluxe have features that allow you to create slide shows with ease, PhotoSuite has a more sophisticated range of capabilities.
Create Your Digital Photo Album

What good is a photo if you can’t find it when you want it? Digital imaging programs not only allow you to edit photographs, they allow you to organize and display them conveniently and at will. Even better, digital albums never yellow, tear, or mildew.
What Is a Digital Album?
Just as paper albums allow you to store all your prized photos in a single location, digital albums allow you to store image files in a central location on your computer. Once you’ve done this, it’s easy to display your photos, make slide shows, and copythem to CDs and disks.
You’re probably familiar with one kind of database: the folders you use to organize documents and other files in Windows Explorer. A digital album is another kind of database. A database allows you to organize image files so you can access and retrieve them later. To retrieve a file from an album, you use a file name or path much as you would to access any other type of file on your computer.
