How to Edit a Published Web Page (and Republish)

To edit a published Web page, go to the page location in your Web browser (i.e., Netscape Navigator) and select (i.e., click):

File - Edit Page

The page will open in a Netscape Composer window.

Make any changes desired — add or delete text, change page colors, or modify the formatting, for example.  Re-date and spell check the document.

When you're finished, use the Publish feature to transfer the file back to the public_html subdirectory in your campus network account. In the Publish dialog box, click the Use Default Location button to insert your FTP location, enter your user name (i.e., account ID) and password in the boxes provided, and then click the OK button. 

The new version of your Web page will be available for viewing as soon as you transfer the file. However, if you view your page again (in Netscape Navigator) after re-publishing it, you'll have to Reload the page in order to see new version that incorporates the changes you made.
 

Note: If you plan to make extensive changes, you may want to save the file to your desktop computer so that you can work on it over a longer period of time — saving it from time to time to make sure you don't lose any of your modifications.
