Displaying Your Presentation on the Web

This section describes how to make your presentation viewable on the World Wide Web.

NOTE: before you begin, you must create a folder entitled "public_html" in your directory on the iSchool server. If you have not already done this, consult the iSchool tutorial "How-to Publish Web Pages" or contact a "purpleshirt" for help.

To convert your presentation to a web page :
- Go to File->Export
- In the Export window, navigate to File format and choose HTML Document.
- Name your file and choose the save destination.
- When you click on Save, the HTML Export wizard will open.
- In the first window, choose from a new or existing design. Click Next.
- The next window will ask you to choose publication type.
- Choose Standard HTML format.
- You can choose to show notes that accompany your presentation slides, or you can turn this function of.
- Click Next.
- On the next window, choose how graphics will be exported. Either JPEG or GIF is acceptable.
- Adjust graphic quality. The higher the graphic quality, the larger the file size. 75% is a good, basic quality.

To upload your presentation to the iSchool server :

Start a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. FTP programs are generally available from the Start menu. If you need help doing this, consult the iSchool tutorials on SSH or Fugu.

Step 2 :

Log on to your FTP program.

Step 3 :

Locate your web page presentation and any files associated with it.

Step 4 :

Select ALL the files and folders associated with your presentation. Drag them to the public_html folder displayed in the FTP session.

To verify that your presentation is displaying correctly:

Step 1 :

Open a Web browser (Firefox or Mozilla)

Step 2 :

In the address bar, enter the following: http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/~(your userid)/(your presentation name)

Be sure that you have included the correct extension in your filename.

Presentation saved as Web Page: .html or .html extension
Presentation saved as Single File Web Page: .mht or .mhtml extension
Presentation saved as Presentation: .ppt extension

Step 3 :

Your web page should appear. If not, verify that you have entered the correct address in the address bar.

NOTE: Your published presentation may look slightly different viewed in different browsers. Also note that security settings in the browser of a particular computer may require extra steps to view your presentation.
