<div>A good place to get started is the Ning we created <a href="http://ictplus.ning.com/">

<p class="MsoNormal">I wrote a simple set of worksheets to get students up and running with Expression Web 3. It is part of the Edustar image and version 4 is now freely available from Microsoft. I’ve broken the steps up and included some resources for a VERY
basic website about baby seals. EW3 enforces the use of styles and has lovely tools for moving styles to a separate style sheet although I haven’t covered that in these sheets. I start by setting up a managed site folder and finish with a floating, centred
one-column layout. When I write some material for controlling styles I’ll upload it.<u></u><u></u></p>
