and easy. See on-line tutorials.
• 2 – Use advanced application software for Web page creation (Dreamweaver is supported by the U of DE).

• 4 – “Save as Webpage” in Office application software (Word, Excel, etc.).

• At the Unix prompt, type: source /www/htdocs/learn/usered/html-setup Note there is a space after source!
• Step 2 – Create Your Web Page
