Checklist: KompoZer Tutorials – Adding Pictures and Links (3.01)

It' very important that you review your file structure and make sure you have your files in the right place BEFORE you go any further in the class. Here are a few tips to make sure things are done correctly. Please print these steps to keep in your notebook. Then check off the steps after you have things in place.

1. Print the Handout, Understanding Directory Structure from Lesson 3.0, Step 7. Highlight in one color the information on "relative path". Highlight the information on "absolute Paths" in a contrasting color.
   
2. Review the TOPIC "Links" in the KompoZer tutorials.
   

• URL is relative to page location: If checked, KompoZer converts the URL to be relative to the page's location. This is especially useful if you plan to publish your pages to a web server so that others can view them. Using relative URLs allows you to keep all your linked files in the same place relative to each other, regardless of their location on your hard disk or a web server.
  
• Deselecting this option causes KompoZer to convert the URL to a full (absolute) URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking to pages on other web servers (not stored locally on your hard disk).
  
• If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in order to enable this checkbox.
  

1. Check the Directory Structure on the computer you are using. Make sure you have the following folders as shown below.
   

   
   

2. Open the samples folder – you should have only these files: (Check the names—they must be exact! You can rename them if needed. THEN delete any other files OR move them to another place on your computer.)
   

   1900_39.txt
   

   1940_69.txt
   

   1970_99.txt
   

3. Open the snapshots folder, then the html folder—you should have only these files: (Check the names—they must be exact! You can rename them if needed. THEN delete any other files OR move them to another place on your computer.)
