Linking your presentation (Facweb)

This tutorial assumes that you have successfully recorded your voice overlay and published your presentation to your streaming media directory in your Facweb account.

  1. Start FrontPage and open up your website.  Find the specific page on which you would like to create a link to your presentation.  
  2. Go to your "File" menu and choose "New->Page".  Click on "Normal Page" and then click the OK button.
  3. Once your new blank page appears, click on the tab at the bottom of the screen labeled "HTML".  This tab is directly in between the two tabs labeled "Normal" and "Preview".
  4. Erase EVERYTHING on this page.
  5. Type in the following line of text:  rtsp://facweb.tcnj.edu:554/kapp_streaming/Creating_Streaming_Presentations/trainer.smi
  6. Replace the blue text with your Facweb account name.  Make sure this is typed in all lowercase letters.
  7. Replace the green text with the name of your presentation directory.  You should have noted this when you published your presentation.
  8. Go to your "File" menu and choose "Save-as".  Select "All Files (*.*)" from the  "Save as type" drop down list.
  9. Choose a folder in which to hold this new page.
  10. Give this file a name that you will remember.  In this case, you could call it "creating_streaming_presentations.ram"  You MUST end your filename with ".ram"
  11. Click the "Save" button.
  12. Now you can type in your link text (i.e. "Click here to view my presentation"), or insert an image that will serve as a link anchor.  Highlight the text or the image and choose "Hyperlink" from the "Insert" menu.  Select the file that you just created (creating_streaming_presentations.ram) from this list and click the OK button.
  13. Save your page.

That's it!  You should be able to open up any web browser and view your streaming presentation.  Please note that to view your presentation, you must have the Real Player plug-in installed on your computer.  You may wish to include a link to the Real Player homepage on your website so that users who lack the player can download it if needed.  

If you would like to add a link to the Real Player homepage, you may use the following graphic if you wish.  The address of the Real Player homepage is http://www.real.com.
