Make Your Own Web Page
Step 1: Being Safe Online
When you make a Web site everyone who has a connection to the Internet has access to the information that you put on your page. Here are a few guidelines for sharing information with other people while staying safe.
- NEVER post your last name, address, or telephone number on your Web page!
Everyone has access to your Web site once you put it online. There are a lot of strange people in the world and we only want them to visit your Web site and not you in person. This is the most important thing to remember. Many people even choose nicknames for their Web sites.
- BE CAUTIOUS when e-mailing or chatting with people.
A great way to talk to people without giving out your address and telephone number is through e-mail or online. You can post your e-mail address on your Web site. If somebody e-mail's you something inappropriate, it is very important to tell an adult immediately. You should never give out your address or phone number online and you should never send someone them in the mail either.
- BE APPROPRIATE with what you say.
There are many Web sites that have inappropriate information. People want to read about interesting things and not inappropriate information.
- DON'T STEAL graphics, music, or text.
Viewing other Web sites can be a great way to learn. If you find a graphic or music on somebody else's Web site, it doesn't belong to you. You may either ask for the graphic or go to the many "free" graphic sites. If you like any of the graphics on the Girl Power! Web site, feel free to take them.
- Use COMMON SENSE!
If you ever think that you or somebody else is doing something wrong, tell an adult immediately.
