To create FirstClass web pages, you need to use the client. The browser version has limited functionality.
Click on your web publishing folder to see the option to create a New Web Page. The Help icon on each screen is a good place to try if you are not sure what to do next.
Create web pages
To create a web page:
Click New Web Page.
Select one of the basic web page templates.
When people create more than one FirstClass web page, they usually ask how to link the pages. First, take a look at your site in a browser.
How others can access your web site
When you view your web site by clicking View in Browser (from within your web publishing folder), your web browser's address field displays your web site's URL.
This is the address to give others so they can access your web site.
The menu on the left is automatically created so there is no need to link pages.

To create links within pages, it can be as easy as typing the full web address on the page - it works the same in a message.
Creating URL links to web pages
To create a URL link to a web page, type the URL in the appropriate format.
For example, to link to the Ultraversity resources home page, you would type
http://researchers.ultraversity.net/
Some researchers have found that a good web page can be the deciding factor when in competition for a job. Anyone who is thinking of becoming a teacher (primary or secondary) will find that being able to demonstrate the confidence and skill to produce a work-based web page will give an advantage over other candidates both for teacher training places and for jobs.
Why do I have web pages as part of my work?
-my area of expertise is e-learning, so it is a natural part of my work
-I had to provide a short biography as a member of staff, for the faculty web page
-I had to create a profile on the COS database for work
-I created a very brief resume in FirstClass so that researchers can find out a bit more about me, and some essential information which is not published elsewhere
Another motivation is that some of our best students - those who graduate with first class or 2.1 - produce their module portfolios as web sites, using skills developed in the course. Some of these are published on the internet - others are not public as they include sensitive information. This is not a rule, as some of those who graduate with a first class degree produced most of their work in Word but it is a noticeable pattern.
Some students will be more comfortable with a personal web page, though I would regard this as a missed opportunity to tailor your studies to your job. This is a degree in Learning,
Technology& Research - that is why you are asked to develop your own web spaces.
