- Open up a page in SeaMonkey
Composer (if you do not have SeaMonkey Composer, go the Chem 502 course

documents and download a copy of it! For
more specific directions on how to navigate blackboard, go to “how to
navigate blackboard”—the first assignment).
- Write any text that you want to. Use the tool bar at the top to increase the
font size, change the font type, or change the placement of the text
(left, right, center), etc.

webpage:
- Go to the Insert menu. Select Image….

and save the image in the folder you want (e.g. C:/ Desktop/kimgweb),
preferably in the same folder you saved the page.
- In the Insert image menu. Click on the Choose File button.
- Browse for the image file you
just saved. Select it.
- Write in alternate text in the

the tool bar uptop, and click on the Browse in the tool bar button to

to the public, open up FileZilla, and transfer all files related to the
webpage (i.e. index.html, the image file, any html files you’ve
composed that you link to from your homepage) in the html folder of
your mail.sas account.
- Right click on each file, select
File Attributes, and check off the boxes so that the group and the
public can read the files.
