| 1) web pages must be stored on a web server in order
to be made public (zoo: public_html) 2) many kinds of files can be stored and served from your web space (.pdf, .doc, .ppt. etc.) 3) wherever you create your web pages, they must be moved to the public_html folder on zoo (FTP) |
1) organizing your web space will help 2) as you move files back and forth be aware of their location, name, and contents 3) you will be working with multiple versions of your files, so learning to distinguish between "here" and "there" (between zoo and your laptop) is crucial |
1) learn to make a mental map of your zoo space and
your own computer 2) when organizing/creating think ahead: how will this organization change when I add files next week, next semester, next year 3) learning multiple ways to move files around will make life easier |

| 1) web pages are composed of text marked up with commands
2) web pages are displayed on multiple computers in different ways--displays are not 8.5x11 pages of paper, they are fluid 3) web pages are computer files that live in a specific location described by a Uniform Resource Location (URL) |
1) web page editors embed these commands out of your
sight--they don't all use exactly the same commands in the same way 2) browsers interpret the commands slightly differently (NOT WYSIWYG!) 3) file names and locations are important because that is how your pages are addressed and found |
1) KISS 2) check your pages in multiple environments and don't assume you know your audience 3) think about naming conventions, oraganize, organize, organize |

| 1) web pages are text only. Pictures are seperate
files that live elsewhere and are referenced in your page 2) links contain addresses to other pages (location and file name). |
1) as you are dealing with a file name and a file
reference, you must be careful! 2) if file names/locations change, links will need to be changed |
1) consistent file naming conventions will help. 2) organize, organize, organize |
