below!
Please note that where I have typed text in brackets,
I have spaces between the words and the brackets. This is so the website
doesn't mistakenly do HTML. When you insert the HTML, there should be no
space between your text and your brackets. Good luck!

How do I put an image at the top of my page?
In the "Update Index" choose "Change name/e-mail". Then in the name
space,type the following HTML script: < img src=THE NAME OF
THE FILE.jpg or gif >
How do I insert images on my page?
Where ever you want to put an image, type the following HTML script: < img
src=THE NAME OF THE FILE.jpg or gif >.
If you are using an enhanced text page, use the drop down menu that says
"images". And choose the name of the image you want to add.
If you are using an all purpose page, use the "add image" icon. Then type in
the file name of the image you want to add.
How do I have links to only certain pages appear in my links menu?
Go to "Update Index" "Add/Delete/Rename pages" and
choose "hide" for the pages you don't want to appear on the menu.
How do I add links to other pages?
Where ever you want to place the link, type the following HTML script: < a
href=http://www.whatever it is.com >. Then type the words you want your link
to say. Last you type: < /a >.
To have your link be a graphic instead of text you type: < a
href=http://www.whatever it is.com >. Then you type: < img src=THE NAME OF
THE FILE.jpg or gif >. Then you type: < /a >
You have to make sure you type the "http://" other wise, the html
coding will NOT work.
How can I create tables so that I can use different backgrounds?
TeacherWeb has changed something so you can NOT use different backgrounds on
different pages any longer. Here's the alternative- tables within tables
where you can assign backgrounds to each table. This is how I've done my
entire website.
You'll need to create an "All Purpose" or an "Enhanced Text" page. When you
choose this type of page, it will be like making something in Word.
In an All Purpose page... Click the icon next to the paintbrush to create a 1
x 1 table. Place your cursor inside of the table
you've just made, and create another 1 x 1 table. Now, place your cursor
inside of whichever box you want to assign a background to first. Click the
last icon. Check "Use background picture" and in the box type the name of the
file you want to use for your background. Use this same procedure to place a
background in your other table. You can also just use background
colors.
In an Enhanced Text page... go to the first icon in the first row and select
the size of table you want to make.
How can I get graphics for my website?
I purchased my Western themed grahpics from Thistle Girl Designs.
The graphics and backgrounds on my birthday page and lunch pages are link ware
sets that I got from Cute Colors
and Rajiv's Graphics.
Another great site for free link ware sets is Home Sweet
Homepage.
Link ware are free graphics that you can use as long as you add a link to the
place you got them.
If you do a "Google" search for web sets, you'll get tons of links!
How do I add music to my site?
You will need to find and upload to Teacher Web a midi file that you like!
Then type the following HTML script: < embed src=THE
NAME OF THE MIDI FILE.mid> . Then type: < /embed >
How can I create a slide show?
It's really easy to do! Just go to Slide.com to create your own classroom slide
show! They'll even provide you with the HTML script to add it to your website!
How can I change the backgrounds on my pages?
Make sure you have uploaded the background you'd like to use. Then go to
"Update Index", "Change Graphics- select from uploads".
Then all you have to do is choose the file you'd like for each of the options
you are given! This will change your page backgrounds and the divider lines
that appear at the top and bottom of each page! You can also change the graphic
that links to your school's website.
This will make the background, divider lines, and main graphic the same on
each page. If you want your pages to have different backgrounds, divider
lines, or main graphics, go to question #12 for instructions on how to have
different backgrounds on different pages in TeacherWeb.
How do I add links to documents or files that I'd like to share?
This is especially easy if you're using an "All Purpose" page.
Click the text that you want people to click on. Then click the globe button
on the "All Purpose" page tool bar. A dialouge box will come up. Type the
file name that you want people to be able to access. You're done!
It's even easier in an "Enhanced Text" page! All you have to do is upload
your file, highlight the text that you want the link to say, then go to the
drop down menu that says "Files" and choose the file you want to add!
If you're using HTML (not an all All Purpose Page), type the following scrpt:
< a href=the file name.doc or pdf or whatever >. Type the text that you want
the link to be on. Now type: < /a >. You're done!
How can I add a scrolling marquee across the screen or make text blink?
This is a simple HTML tag... Type the following HTML into brackets < >:
< marquee >.
Now type the text you want to scroll across the screen.
Last
type: < /marquee >.
Follow the same steps to make text blink- just type
< blink > the text you want < /blink >
That's it! You should have a scrolling marquee on your page!
How do I change font size, color, or alignment?
Color: < font color=red or blue or whatever > To end that color: < /font >
Bold: < b > End bold: < /b >
Italic: < i > End italic: < /i >
Underline: < u > End underline < /u >
Font size: < font size=4 > To end that size: < /font >
Alignment: < align="center" > or < align="right" > or <
align="left" >
End or change alignment: < /center > or < /right > or < /left >
How can I get my tables to have all cells the same width?
You need to put your cursor in the top row- the first cell of each column. Go
to the last icon on the all purpose menu and set your column width to 33 and
select percent. Then put your cursor in the top row, second column. Do the
same- 33 and select percent for the width. Then put your cursor in the top
row, third column. Do the same- 33 and select percent for the width. After
you've done each column on the top row, things should have evened out for you!
