First off you will need to open the web page you created and you do that by going to the open button on composer and loading the index page you created ( you wrote down the location earlier).
now I want you to work and practice on the following:
in the lesson we typed the words "My web page" in the work area. I want you to go back and change this and make it more personal, as an example it can say "Greg's Web Page" and of course you would use your own name. highlight it and change it. To highlight hold down the left button and move the pointer over the words, then let go of the mouse button and type the new words.
now i want you to put a picture on the page (only if you didn't do it during the lesson).
I want you to change the picture properties, you do this by placing your mouse pointer over the picture and clicking on the picture with your right mouse button. And in the dialog that comes up click on image properties. So now in image properties box i want you to click on alt Text / Low res. button and a new box comes up and i want you to customize this to the picture, for instance lets say this picture is of you you would type your name.
Now I want you to place a border around the picture you will see in the image properties the area that is labeled "space around image" and go down to the area for solid border and change the solid border to 2  and the larger the size the larger the border so play with this until you have the border the size you like.
Now I want you to change the page properties, you do this by going to the text label "format" and click on it and then go down the list to page color and properties click on the general tag at the top and change the Title to something more personal such as your name as an example Greg's Page. After that I want you to click on the colors and background key and while in this area i want you to play around here a bit and make the background and text the colors you like the best, and of course try different graphics as well. You can find some nice graphics in a variety of colors at this link http://gyenterprise.50megs.com
