In order to begin working on the first project, you will need to think about the design of your web pages. The first thing you will want to consider is what information you want to present. If you want to talk about those who favor censorship of the net and those who are opposed, then you might have a site that begins with the opening or index page, and links to pages for discussing each of the two positions.

You might introduce your project then talk about the Exon bill. You might also deal with free speech, or consider a link to a page for discussing relevant articles. Or perhaps to other useful sites.

The main thing is that you'll want to map out mentally a structure for the project and write down the names of the pages that you will use.

Next you'll want to make the necessary files.

These instructions are geared for a Macintosh with BBEdit Lite and HTML extensions, but whatever editor you use to write html files, the aim is to produce a folder or directory containing an opening page, index.html, and whatever subpages you will use in the project.

• Open the applications folder and open BBEdit. Go to the Extensions menu and choose Document. Enter a project title in the dialog box, then click OK

• Next, go to the bottom of the page and draw a line <hr> and make a return link to your index page--go to Extensions and choose HTML Anchor; enter "index.html"

• Next, put your name at the bottom of the page and highlight it then choose HTML Anchor and enter "mailto:[your e-mail address]". Separate these lines by using html style commands like paragraph break <p> or line break <br>

• Now you will make copies of this file for every additional page you need. First go to the File menu and choose Save as. Save into your folder a copy of the file with one of the names for your additional pages (for example, "constitution.html"). Finally, open any new pages, go to the top of the page and change the title
