• Optimize photos, video, and audio for the Web and get them onto your page
• Register for a Google account and use the versatile Google Page Creator
• Build pages using basic HTML or CoffeeCup HTML Editor
• Identify and apply elements of design, avoid common errors, and create pages that get noticed
• Maintain control by creating and editing pages in HTML with a text editor
• Understand how image file size affects your pages, how to upload photos to Flickr, and how to add sound and video files to your Web pages
• Develop your pages into a site with CoffeeCup HTML Editor and Visual Editor
