Most Important! Create Your
Folder First
• In your U:drive, create a Folder labeled
with your last name, first name that will
hold your web page and resources, such as
pictures.
• In this folder create another new folder
called pictures. It is here that you will
save all of your pictures.
Do not copy and paste pictures—
you must save pictures as files to
be inserted later.
