Designing your first web site

Link It Up

Links to external Web sites and to other parts of your Web site (assuming it has multiple pages) make your site's design truly useful. You can also add links that start e-mail messages to specific addresses.

To add a link to text, highlight it and click the Hyperlink icon on FrontPage Express's standard toolbar. Type the complete URL (including http://) and click OK. The link will appear in color and underlined on your Web page.

Continue until you've entered all the links.

To add an e-mail link, highlight the text that will contain the link, click the Hyperlink icon, select HyperlinkType, mailto, and then enter the e-mail address directly after the 'mailto' entry. Click OK.

When you're done, save your Web page. Most hosts require that your site's start page (the page that appears at the URL http://www.yoursitename.com) be saved with the file name index.html. Others use default.html.
