Designing your
site using MS FPX is very easy. Before you begin, you'll
want to first save a blank page into the
directory where you have any images for the page.
Click on File and Save As and then choose
"As FIle" and browse to the folder
where you want to save to, or create a new folder
to hold your web pages and images. Once you do
that, you won't have any problem adding images to
the page and all the file references will be
correct. You may wish to use Explorer to move or
copy any images you plan to use to this folder.
If you have a directory called "images"
or "pictures" that's no problem. As
long as you save the blank page first to the
directory where the page is going to end up when
you're done. The structure of the directory
should be the same as it will be on the Internet
web server where you're going to upload or
publish your page.
Editing with FPX
is very easy. If you've used almost any text
editing program, the toolbar will look familiar.
The easiest way to make your page is to first put
in your background image. You do this by clicking
on Format and choose Background. The reason for doing
this, is you may need to add a table before you
put in any text. Also, you can begin your text in
the color you're going to want for the page.
A good program to
go along with FPX is called NoteTab
Std/Light or Note Tab Pro. These text editors are
excellent for editing your HTML code. They're
better to use than the HTML viewer in FPX. The
NoteTab Light is a free program.
