For those looking for additional demos for KompoZer, here’s a quick demo I found that shows creating a simple 2-page site using KompoZer in under 10 minutes.

Josh Thomas, who made this video, has some additional videos available at http://www.kompozerhowto.com. Numerous other KompoZer videos are available on YouTube.

Have you found any other KompoZer demos, tutorials, documentation, or other resources? Please post a comment and share what you’ve found with the rest of us!

For the Web-based Learning Technology Repository (WBLTR), at the end of Module 4 and Module 8 you’ll be your compressing (aka: zipping) the site you are developing and submitting for grading via the dropbox in D2L. Both the Mac and Windows operating systems have the built-in capability to create compressed .zip files for submitting. Below I’ve provided short video tutorials illustrating the process for both Mac or Windows.

As we’ll be using KompoZer extensively throughout our course, I want to ensure that everyone has located and begun viewing the various KompoZer tutorials that have been provided for our course. We’ll be discussing during our weekly synchronous sessions the technical specifics of creating your website using KompoZer but in the meantime you may want to refer to the provided tutorials. Bring any questions that you have to our synchronous class sessions.
