The list below contains links to other resources available on the web for students of this class.  Here is everything you need to develop and host your web site.


Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Academic Version Software

You may purchase this software in class from the instructor for $75 (including MN sales tax), or from our on-line store.  The regular retail price is $199.00.

Class Handout

If you need to replace the handout, or simply want to review the instructions from the web site in a paper format, simply click on the link to download.


Free Web Hosting for Students

One of the major difficulties of running this class involved the problem of transferring the web site from the classroom computer to your personal computer, and back again.  I have solved this problem by providing a free web hosting site on a professionally managed server for 30 days.  Once your site is hosted on the Internet, it is a simple thing to pull the files onto your personal computer using the same Publish feature you used transfer it to the Web Host. 


Permanent Web Hosting

Once your free ride is over, you will need to find a permanent hosting arrangement for your web site.  We provide permanent web hosting through our affiliate, WyzHost.com. We offer a Special Student Web Hosting Package that includes 1 domain name, a web site hosting partition, and 1 e-mail account for only $50.00 per year.  Purchase from the instructor, or from our on-line store.


Recommended Reference Books


On-Line Payments with PayPal

I have used PayPal for several years to accept payments on my own web sites, and I have helped several students set up PayPal on their sites.  To open an account, click on the link.

  • Metty Freeware Meta Tag Maker - Some search engines examine meta tags to index information about web pages such as subject matter, type of content and author. Metty Freeware Meta Tag Maker presents you with simple forms that allow you to input the information you want, then generate all of your meta tags. Once meta tags have been generated, you can copy and paste the meta tags into one of your HTML files or insert the meta tags into a new or imported HTML file. No knowledge of meta tags is necessary to build meta tags with Metty Freeware Meta Tag Maker.
