In this closing module, we would love to tell you that it's over, that
everything you need to know has been presented and if you follow all the
wise directions contained here, you will create the finest web site in the
web. Nope! But we hope this has been a start, and that if you
have questions, ideas, suggestions, corrections, that you will send them
so they can be included in future updates.
Posting your pages on the Internet:
Once your web pages are as complete as you can make them, run through the checklist below. When you are satisfied that you are ready to go "live," here are the steps to follow:
If you are within DSISD, you should contact your campus technology coordinator or site contact for information on how to place your pages on the District web server.
If you are posting a staff page, the address will be in the form:
www.dripping-springs.k12.tx.us/staff/joetiger
or
www.dripping-springs.txed.net/staff/joetiger
This indicates that your web pages will all be placed inside a folder named
for you (joetiger) and that folder lives inside the staff folder
that is located on a computer named www.dripping-springs.txed.net. The
default page that will be opened inside the folder joetiger is named
index.html
If you are posting a department, grade, or other district page, contact
us for the address and link information.
"Final" Checklist for web pages:
