Chapter 17. Understanding Web Authoring

I can hear your motor running, so I know you're ready to dive in and start creating Web pages. But before building that first page, you need to acquire a rudimentary understanding of how Web pages are born and do some planning about what you want your page to be.

This chapter assumes that you have already installed Netscape Communicator 4.7 and its built-in Web-authoring program, Composer. If you have not, visit http://wp.netscape.com/download/archive.html and download Netscape Communicator version 4.7 for your system. (It's free.)

More recent versions of Netscape and Composer are available, as well. Although the exact steps for some features may differ slightly, you'll have little difficulty finding your way around a newer version of Composer using the material in this book.
