Posting your PowerPoint Presentation

On Your Web Site

Prepare your PowerPoint Presentation with MS Office 97/98 the normal way.
Next save it as an HTML file and follow the step-for-step directions in a subdirectory such as PPTPresentation.
In the public_html directory of your web space create a subdirectory named something such as PPTPresentation_files (replace the following with whatever name you chose to use—no spaces of fancy characters) by typing the following at the prompt:

mkdir PPTPresentation_files
Then put a permission on that subdirectory by typing:

chmod ugo+x PPTPresentation_files

Next use Fetch or FTP by first going into your public_html subdirectory then go to your PPTPresentation line and double click on it so that the Fetch or FTP will go into the PPTPresentation subdirectory.
Copy each of your files from your PPTPresentation on your disk into the PPTPresentation subdirectory on your garnet space. (Actually when using WS_FTP just copy the entire folder from your local machine to the remote site.)
First go into the folder by typing: cd PPTPresentation_files
SThen set the permissions on these files by typing (within the PPTPresentation directory):

chmod ugo+r *.*

Next go back to your earlier directory (type cd to return to the first directory then type cd public_html).
Go into your index.html file (remember: pico index.html) to build a link to your presentation. Decide where you want to put it, then type one of the following:

<a href="http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~jflake/PPTPresentation/">Presentation name</a>

<a href="http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~jflake/PPRPresentation/sld001.htm">Presentation name</a>

where jflake is replaced with your logon name. The first line will take the viewer to the Microsoft opening page; while the second line will take you immediately to the first page of your presentation (I think I prefer the second one, but that’s up to you).

Ctrl-X out of your editor and save the index.html page and pull it up in the web viewer.
