Video - How to Build a Website in Kompozer
This video from bmarketing.ws shows you how to build a website with the free
open source WYSIWYG web page authoring tool which you can download from
Kompozer.
In Kompozer's main menu, select Format - Page Colors and Background....
In the the Page Colors and Background dialog box that appears, set the
"(*) Use Custom Colors" radio button, then click on the Background [] button.
In the Block Background Color dialog box that appears, choose a color
for your background. In the example, choose the color grey. Click on the [OK]
button to close the Block Background Color dialog box. Click on the [OK]
button to close the Page Colors and Background dialog box.
In Kompozer's main toolbar, click on the Table icon. In the Insert table
dialog box that appears, move your mouse pointer to the number of columns and rows
desired. In the example move your mouse pointer to the second column, fourth row
(4 x 2) and click. The table will appear in Kompozer's main window.
Click on the table to select it, and in Kompozer's main menu select Table -
Table Properties.... In the Table Properties dialog box that appears,
set the table width to 700 pixels, and set the Border and Spacingsettings;
Border, Spacing, and Padding to 0. In the Table Alignment drop-down list,
select Center. Click on the [Background Color] button, and in the Table
Background Color dialog box that appears, choose a color for the table's
background (in this example white). Click on the [OK] button to close the Table
Background Color dialog box. Click on the [OK] button to close the Table
Properties dialog box.
To join the top two table cells into one, put the mouse pointer in the first
cell and press the left mouse button while dragging the mouse pointer to the
second cell, then release. In Kompozer's min menu, select Table - Join
Selected Cells. Do the same thing with the table's bottom two cells.
Double-click in the top table cell and in the Table Properties dialog
box that appears, on the [Cells] tab, click on the [background Color] button.
In the Cell background Color dialog box that appears, select a color
for the cell's background (in this example black). Click on the [OK] button
to close the Cell background Color dialog box. Click on the [OK] button
to close the Table Properties dialog box. Do the same thing with the
table's bottom cell.
Note the tabs on the left side of Kompozer's main window. You can use the mouse
to drag the edges of those tabs to resize the table's cells to give you more
room to work within a cell. Note a similar arrangement of tabs on the top
of Kompozer's main window which allows you to resize the width of table columns.
