We will use Google Sites to create your Web Site. Feel free to use another method such as Dreamweaver, Front Page and etc.
First, you will need to create a google account if you do not one. Simply go to google.com and click on the Sign In which is normally in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Once you log in, search for Sites. Often it will be under the More tab
Once you find the web site creation page, you will see...
Click on Create site.
Here, you will need to put your site name which will also be part of your web address. You can also choose a template at this time. If you want to see additional templates, select More themes...
After you have selected your theme, type in the code and then hit Create site.
You will see the theme that you selected. To edit the page, you will need to click on the Edit page which is located near the upper right hand side.
Once you are in the edit mode, you will notice the formatting menu, now you are ready to start editing
To edit, simply click in the desired section and start typing.
You will notice that after you start editing, there is a Save and Cancel button in the upper right hand corner, if you hit Save, then those buttons will change to Create page, Edit Page and More actions
To create a second page, I would recommend you hit Save and then hit the Create page. The next window will appear and I would recommend putting in portfolio into the name, then selecting Create Page.
You will now notice that the navigation bar which is on the left side of the screen has Home, Portfolio as links.
To edit either page, you can click on either tab, Home or Portfolio and if you want to edit the page, make sure you select Edit page button which is located in the upper right hand of the screen.
To insert an image, first find an image and know where you have saved the file. In your google site, make sure you are in the edit mode. From the edit mode, you will need to select Insert and then choose Image. On the next window, click on Browse and find your image. Once the image has been uploaded, then select the image and choose OK. This will bring the image onto your page.
To create a link, you will follow a similar method. First type in what you want to link, example, Portfolio | Email | CSUN on your home page. After you type in the link, select the text, example Portfolio, then select Insert>Link. A new window will appear and select the page that you want to link it to, in this case the Portfolio page. If you want to create an email link, you will type in email on the screen and select email then select Insert>Link. When the next window appears, choose Web Address and type in mailto:your email@csun.edu. Lastly, if you want to create a link that will take you to the world wide web, type in where you want to go. In my example, I created a link to go to CSUN. Select your text, then choose Insert>Link and on the next window, choose Web Address and type in the web address to where you want the viewer to go.
Keep in mind that your links will not work in this mode, but you will need to be in the browser mode.
In order to create a link to your assignments, you will notice on the bottom of the portfolio page, you have Attachments. If you select Choose File you will have a new window appear where you can attach your file, example, the note.doc assignment. You would follow this procedure until you get all of your assignments attached.
If you wanted to change your theme after you have started, you can click on More Actions which is located in the upper right hand of the screen. From there, select Manage Site and you will have a number of administrative items that you can do. If you wanted to change the theme, select Themes which is located on the far left side of the screen.
