While sound is a neat addition, it can be temperamental. Right now, Netscape and Microsoft Explorer browsers look at sound files differently. Sometimes sound will play in one browser but not they other. Also, sounds are files and these files will be downloaded when someone accesses your site, this increases the time it takes for a person to view your file. Also, remember many sound files are copyrighted just like graphics.

1. Minimize FrontPage and click on the shortcut labeled Wavplace (www.wavplace.com or www.wavcentral.com).
2. This site has many short sounds. You can click on a link to hear the sound.
3. To save a sound file, right click on the link for the sound. Choose Save Target As from the Menu. Save the sound file to the Desktop.
4. Close the browser and then double click on the shortcut labeled Classical Midi (http://www.classicalarchives.com/midi.html )
5. Save a couple of pieces of music from here.
6. Close the browser and go back to FrontPage.

1. Make sure you are still on the Favorites page. Press Ctrl and End key to go to the very bottom.
2. Insert one of the bullet graphics you saved earlier. Now click on the graphic to select it.
3. Select the Hyperlink command. You will want to click on the File button (looks like magnifying glass and folder). Browse to the Desktop and select one of the wav files you saved from the first sound site. Click OK.
4. Insert another graphic and make a hyperlink to another sound file.
5. Save the page and preview it in the Web Browser to see if it works.

You can set a background sound for a page. When a site visitor opens the page, the sound is played. You can play the sound continuously, or play it a specified number of times.

Note This feature is not supported by all Web browsers.

1. In Page view, right-click the page, and then click Page Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. On the General tab under Background sound, in the Location box, type the sound file you want to play, or click Browse to locate the file. Use one of the MIDI files you saved from the second website.
3. To play the sound continuously, select the Forever checkbox.
4. To play the sound a fixed number of times, clear the Forever checkbox, and enter the number of times you want the sound to play in the Loop box.

When you complete a web site, you must upload all of the files to your web server (the person/computer hosting your web site). Every web server has certain rules and protocols that need to be followed. Usually the web server will tell you how to upload your files.

Uploading is done through FTP (File Transfer Protocol). There are many FTP programs. CUTEFTP and WSFTP are two major programs. Most FTP programs are free. You can go to any sharware software site (www.tucows.com , www.davesite.com are just a couple). Find their search area and type in FTP.

Search engines usually do not automatically pick up your web site when you upload it to the web. You have to promote your site. You need to submit your web URL to the search engine. Take a look at the sites below.

Allows you to write WWW pages to incorporate text, images, sounds, movies, hyperlinks, and so on.

Hyper (hyperactive), you can go to any link in any order when viewing the WWW.

Text is the type of files we work in for HTML.

Markup comes from the fact that in HTML we markup the text, or put in tags (codes).

Language meaning that we follow all the rules of grammar (hopefully J ).

Take a look at the site below. It is a great site for HTML I strongly recommend going through the tutorials he provides.
