Typically, web pages and associated files are transferred from the county computer to the regional server. A process called FTP enables this transfer to take place. Counties use an id and password to gain FTP access to a designated web site area on the server. They also organize periodic training on basic use of FTP software to transfer files. County Extension offices create their own web pages and associated files.
Offices use different web page publishing applications to prepare HTML files for their pages.
If you're curious, most browsers have a view option to display the page source , permitting you to observe the HTML or script language that the browser interprets into the displayed web page. Take a look sometime. Many people don't want to learn these languages. To bring web publishing to the masses, specialized applications are evolving to help people prepare HTML or scripts for their web page files. County Extension offices have used Netscape's Composer, Microsoft's FrontPage, Allaire's HomeSite, Macromedia's DreamWeaver, Microsoft's Word or Corel's WordPerfect.
