Step-by-step Instructions to add a page to your site

This example assumes that you are adding a “links” page to your site using Microsoft Word.

 

First create the page:

1. Open a new Word document.
2. Add text and images as desired for the page (keep it simple)
3. To add links, highlight/mark the text for a link.
4. Click the hyperlink icon or use the menu: Insert/Hyperlink (shortcut key Ctrl+K)
5. Enter the web page address, including the “http://” prefix.
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 for all the other links.
7. Save the file as a web page with the menu: File/Save as Web Page…
8. When the “Save As” dialog box pops up, select the “Save as type:” of “Web Page, Filtered”.
9. Enter the File name as “links.htm” and save to the drive where your web site is located (usually mapped as Drive T:)
10. Close the Word file.
11. Test the file by opening your web browser to “http://law.gsu.edu/yoursite/links.php”  (substituting the location of your site in “yoursite”).

 

 

Once this page looks OK, you can add it to your menu:

1. Open the file “menu.txt” from your web site folder. You can use Word or Notepad.
2. Add a line “links Helpful Links” to the menu.txt file, where “links” is the same root file name as the .htm file saved earlier and “Helpful Links” is the text you want added to the menu as the hyperlink.
3. Save “menu.txt” back to your web site folder.

 

You can either link to your new page from some other existing page, or you can add it to your menu, or both.
