Now You Know...

Now you know how to use HTML. This is a very useful skill. You can use it to make simple web pages, and it helps you to understand some basic programming principles. Also, it will help you solve problems with more complex web pages you'll make in the future.

So let's move the the next step: a WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") means that you can see how the web page will look on a browser when you are making it. It is like using MS Word to create an essay; what you see in the MS Word window is the same as what you print out.

Mozilla is an Internet Suite. It has a browser, email client--and a web page editing program called Composer. We will use Composer to make web pages.

First, however, you must install Mozilla, if you don't have it on your computer already.

If the computer you are using has Mozilla on it, then just go to the next page.

First, go to Mozilla's web site using Internet Explorer. You can find the Mozilla download page here. Click on the link which says, "Windows, English (11.0 MB)" in the upper left corner. Your computer will ask you if you want to save it; click the "Save" button:

And then tell the dialog box where the file should be saved. Mozilla will begin to download to your computer:

Close Internet Explorer. Then, find the file you downloaded (the Mozilla Installer), and open it.

The Installer will show you a number of dialog boxes which give you installing options; just agree to everything. There are five dialogs; the buttons to press, in order, are "Next," "Accept," "Next," "Next," and "Install."

Mozilla will then install on your computer:

Once that is finished, then you will see a Mozilla icon on your desktop. Mozilla should open automatically the first time.

Now you can go to the next step: setting the preferences.
