The new webpages will need to be saved to the same folder where you have saved your default.html webpage. Follow these steps to create the two new webpages.

1. Open Netscape Navigator and from the File menu, select New and then Blank Page.
2. Type a few lines of text on the new webpage. You will be able to go back later and finish these additional webpages... for now, we just want to create the webpages and build the links from the default.html webpage.
3. Save the first additional webpage as page1.html taking care to save it in the same folder where the default.html webpage is saved. Note: You can substitute another word in place of page1 (8 letters or less with no spaces!) but must include the .html suffix if the webserver is to recognize the webpage as a webpage. You will also need to adjust the directions when building the links below.
4. From the File menu, select New and then Blank Page again.
5. Type a few lines of text on this new webpage.
6. Save the second additional webpage as page2.html taking care to save it in the same folder as the default.html and page1.html webpages.
7. Close both the page1.html and page2.html webpages.

Building Links to the two new webpages

1. Open the default.html webpage in Netscape Navigator.
2. Select Edit Page from the File menu to return to the edit mode.
3. Position the cursor on an empty line and type the text that you will use to create the links to the two new pages. Something like link to page 1 and link to page 2 will do for now. Be sure to leave some space between the text. Consider adding a vertical line | (the shifted key right above the return key) or an asterisk * to further separate the text.
4. Now, select the text that will serve as the link to page 1 by dragging across the text while holding down the mouse button.
5. Click on the Insert Link toolbar icon (the little chain icon).
6. Instead of typing a web address, click on the Choose File button.
7. If you don't see the page1.html webpage in the dialog box that appears, navigate to the folder where that webpage is saved.
8. Click once to select the page1.html webpage and then click on the Open button.
9. Click on OK to create the link from the default.html webpage to the page1.html webpage.
10. Next, select the text for the second link.
11. Click on the Insert Link icon.
12. Click on Choose File.
13. Select the page2.html webpage and click on Open.
14. Click on OK to create the link from the default.html webpage to the page2.html webpage.
15. Click on the Save icon and then on the Preview icon to test the links to your new webpages.
16. Clicking on the linked text should take you to the new webpages. Clicking the web browser back button will return you to the default.html webpage.
17. If, after you have finished adding text and graphics to the two new pages, you want to build links back to the default.html and to other webpages that you have added, you can do that using a modified version of the steps above.

Your personal space on the Kings Canyon Unified School District webserver will hold dozens of teacher and classroom webpages. As long as all the webpages and linked graphics are saved in the same folder during the creation stage and the file naming protocols are followed, the webpages should work when you upload them to the server. That process will be the focus of the next activity.
