Htm page at template.....

[Kjonnnn]

I wanna make our church newsletter as a .htm document.
I wanna make the basis design a template in Dreamweaver, this way my Pastor can just add what he wants to as far as text.

He would email this to out members.

So my question is... that when members receive it as an attachment, when they click on it, it will just open up in their browswers...right?

The issues here are common to beginners in web design - the "web page", or html document, is only the text for the document, and a set of instructions with links to various resources (ie., images). The images, etc., ARE NOT included in, or a part of, the html file.

You could send the .html file as an attachment on an email, but the links to the resources on the page must point to an internet server somewhere that these resources can be parked on.

Check with your church's ISP about the web space included in your account. You could put your images, java applets, whatever on there and reference the location on the .html page:

http://members.yourISP.com/youraccount/images/logo.jpg

Then .html page would be a small attachment. Your members would open it the browser. The browser would render the text for the page, and lay out empty boxes for the various resources (images). Then the browser downloads the resources from the server locations indicated in the .html file and renders them in the spots indicated by the file.

Hope that crash-course helps!

While I'm not an expert, Im not a beginner. Im tryn to feel Dreamweaver's template. My goal is to create a html template that someone else who is not html/webpage savvy could complete and email out.

The html doc would be opened by the receivers browsers. I've tested it and done it, just not with a template.

So thanks, but I figured it out.
