Using Shared Borders and Themes
Tutorial 4 introduces some of the most exciting features of FrontPage 2003, particularly Shared Borders and Themes. These are powerful tools for streamlining the design and management of your Web site.
Shared Borders allow you to assign common areas to all, or just selected, pages in your Web. This means your pages can "share" link bars, graphics and other common elements, and when you revise them, they're automatically updated throughout the web (like headers and footers).
Themes are pre-defined formats which can be applied to your entire Web. A theme can include a background color or picture, font styles, link bar styles, and other graphics to give your Web a professional, unified look (if you're familiar with PowerPoint, you know what they look like).
We'll be playing with some other cool tricks this week, including
-
using Navigation view to add pages and change the structure of our web
-
adding a page banner to a page
-
creating a Photo Gallery
-
creating illustrations with FrontPage's drawing tools and AutoShapes
After you've finished making all the revisions in Tutorial 4, save your pages and publish to your Web site (links to all our student sites can be found on the Conference page).
