Lecture 3. Structure of homepage |
| Learning objective: To
know the structure of homepage |
|
Internet is made of homepages. Strictly speaking, it is not
quite wrong to say, “Internet is homepage”, though there are
many other services of Internet. In understanding Internet,
you may feel at a loss in the course of searching information
unless you make out the structure and language of homepage.
Let me take an example of a satellite broadcasting
I watched yesterday.
Now you are curious about the height and weight of Park Chanho,
and want to search Altavista (www.altavista.com) for the answer.
How are you going to find it?
Aren’t you going around visiting homepages one by one, looking
for the answer after you entered ‘Park Chanho’ in a search
engine?
This could not be regarded as Internet information searching
in a narrow sense, but if you are to do searching anyway,
the procedure below is possible.
First, as the height and weight are contained in profile heading
in most of the homepages, you should write “chanho park” And
profile in keyword blank. You have not learned operator of
“ ” and AND yet, but should know how to make a search in this
way.
Now let us begin to learn about the structure of homepage.
First, push the side button to take a look at the homepage
of Narea Construction Corporation, then you will see simple
menus, like Company introduction, Company news, Business branch,
Product information, Message board, and Link sites on the
Home of the site.
Most of normal company sites are constructed according to
this kind of format.
The following table will help you understand better.
The table above shows the general layout of which
homepage of a company is generally composed, but not all the
homepages follow this setting.
You can see, in the homepage of Narea Construction that we
took a look at as an example, Loading turning up in the initial
screen, and then some animations.
This initial screen is also called Intro, and most of the
homepages with animation have initial screens fashioned by
flash technology.

A company
is able to show company’s symbol, product, or other advertisements
on the initial screen by representing them as a sort of movie.
Main screen page is consisted of buttons that permit a move
to other pages. Some homepages pop up new windows for Bulletin
Board or News separately over the main screen, and others just
include Bulletin Board in the main screen.
For your reference, please visit my homepage to see Bulletin
Board built in on the main screen.
Main page is regarded most important in construction of a homepage.
Special care should be taken of the wording and design of main
page for overall graphic effect.
Buttons on the main screen are in most cases for
Introduction, Greetings, About Us, etc. Please note the name
for each button.
Company Introduction involves Greetings from C.E.O, Company
History, Business Vision, or Business Branch.
Product Information and Product Order explain the name, specifications,
and order sheet of product.
Data Room (PDS, BBS) has a collection of Windows or other computer
related utilities. In case of private homepages, this Date Room
may take a different name, that is, Portfolio, in which owner’s
private works are to be stored.
Guest, Guest Room, or Q/A are similar to Bulletin Board in its
format, where opinions or data are uploaded to be shared with
visitors. |

Site Link, Hot Site, or Link
is where homepage maker gathered other useful sites for visitors
to make a quick transfer to those homepages.
In order to master Internet in a short time, it might be a good
way to click on Guest Room, Bulletin Board, or Chat Room, to
experience Internet terminology and up-to-date program.
E-Mail is to send mails to company or homepage maker, usually
clicked to open up Outlook Express, an exclusive mail program.
This program is a little bit complex, requiring a special setting
such as input of mail account and server.
Take a good note of addressee’s e-mail address displayed on
the Outlook Express screen, and send an e-mail by Hanmail or
Orgio or do setup for Outlook Express personally if you know
the mail account.
We have learnt the simplest organization of a homepage. A homepage
could be made up with more complex contents but I believe this
lecture will help you understand other homepages too.
[Information search questions for primary course]
1. Find out the height and weight of Park Chanho playing
in major league in Internet sites.
2. Look for the accidents and events that took place over
the world on Christmas day of December 25 1999.

[To know the basic
for Windows]
The first thing you should learn about computer is the unit
used in computer.
Locate your mouse pointer on C drive of My Computer, and click
on the right mouse button to open Registry and look at the capacity
of your hard drive.
In case that the capacity of hard drive, for example, is 2.0G,
you should know the real meaning of its capacity to control
your computer.
Byte ? Kilobyte (Kb) ? Megabyte (Mb) ? Gigabyte (Gb)
Each upper unit is acquired by multiplying 1024 by the previous
unit.
One single Hangeul document normally amounts to approximately
25Kb, so we could conclude that about one hundred thousand documents
of same size would be stored in a hard drive of 2.5G.
Floppy diskettes currently on the market have a capacity of
1.4Mb.
Now that you have grasped some aspects of capacities of hard
drive and file, let us get into the term Pentium III. Now look
at the following vicissitude of computer CPU to get a glimpse
on how far and to what level Pentium III has advanced.
386 SX, DX ℃ 486 SX, DX, DX2, DX4 ℃ Pentium 75Mhz, 100Mhz, 120Mhz,
133Mhz, 150Mhz, 166Mhz, 180Mhz ℃ Pentium MMX 200Mhz, 233Mhz,
266Mhz ℃ Pentium II 300Mhz, 350Mhz, 400Mhz ℃ Pentium III 450Mhz,
500Mhz, 550Mhz
The name of computer is decided according to the version of
CPU. |
