How to
Open a Folder
By
moving your mouse you can direct the cursor to settle on
the closed folder that you wish to look at. Double
click the left button of the mouse (two clicks in quick
succession with your forefinger) and the folder will open.
Let's
take a look at the "Insurance" folder and open
it up to see what's inside.

What
you see above is a "folder TREE" - the same
principle as a "family tree" which I guess you
may all have seen at some point in your lives. This
example only goes to 4 levels, but of course there can be
as many levels as you wish. However, I would not,
personally, recommend going much further than 3 or 4 if
you're a raw beginner otherwise you may run into
difficulties with actually remembering what is in which
folder!
So, what we have here in this example is the main
file "Insurance" which would be
shown on your screen as a "closed
folder" until you decide to open it up to view
the contents - at that point the icon will then change to
an "open folder" and you will then see 4
"closed folders" called "House",
"Car", "Health" and
"Life".
The
"House" folder has been split into two
categories by making a folder for each category
"Contents" and "Buildings" - therefore
all correspondence pertaining to the contents insurance
will be saved to the "Contents" folder, and the
same applies to the "Buildings" folder.
There is only one car, so the "Car" folder has
not been split into categories at all so all
correspondence appertaining to the car insurance will be
within that folder.
Both Joe and Jane have "Health Insurance" so
they each have a folder for their health insurance
correspondence.
Now, in this scenario, only Joe has Life Insurance at the moment, but he has
made a decision to make a folder for his life insurance
correspondence so, if they take out life insurance on Jane
at a future date, then he won't have to worry about moving
files around to keep them separate, he will simply open up
a new folder for Jane at that point in time and save all
her correspondence to her new folder.
This is called "Future Planning" and that's
what you will need to bear in mind when creating your
website!
I hope you can see the relevance of making folders
to categorize different areas into individual
subjects, whilst retaining everything about the main
subject under ONE folder heading.
How
To Create Your Folders
|

|
|
A new folder
will
appear. Rename it by
highlighting* the words
"new
folder"
and type in something that you'll recognize as holding all
the information for your website. (for the examples
throughout this book, we'll call this folder "My
Web")
- hit return and your folder is saved.
*Note: To "Highlight" text to rename or
delete, simply place your cursor at the beginning of the
required text, left click your mouse and hold button
down whilst you move your mouse over the text that you
require to change or delete, then release the mouse
button. You can then type in the new text to rename,
or press the "Delete" button on your keyboard to
delete all text. |
