For the purpose of this exercise we will be using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. The Dreamweaver program is very popular amongst Web designers and is relatively easy to understand. If you have not used it before then I suggest you practice by running through some of the tutorials supplied with the program. At this stage we will not be delving deeply into it. There are plenty of other web page authoring programs that you could use, and you can even assemble web pages online. To do this you would need to get some web space.

Getting Some Web Space

There are various companies on the Web that offer free web space, in return for displaying advertisements on your page. You can search for these on the Web and you will often find that they will have an option to build your own website using pre-defined templates. It is also possible to upload your graphics into them and create links. From a skills and flexibility point of view though, it is going to be better for you to learn to use a proper authoring program, like Dreamweaver, in combination with your web space.

Uploading means sending files to a remote computer, as opposed to downloading, which means receiving files from a remote computer.
