Western Carolina University will offer two introductory classes in December as a part of the “Wired Workshops” training series.

“Designing Your Free Web Site” will be offered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 9, in Room 137 of the Cordelia Camp Building.

Participants will create a multi-page Web site complete with formatted text, hyperlinks, graphics, special add-ons, background color scheme and more.

Class members will be able to modify and update their Web sites any time, and create other sites, with any computer that has access to the Internet.

Knowledge of HTML is not required, but a familiarity with the Internet and a Web browser such as Internet Explorer are helpful.

Early registration is $69 on or before Monday, Dec. 1. The cost of the course will be $79 after Dec.1.

“Introduction to Photoshop” will be offered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 11, in Room 137 of the Cordelia Camp Building.

Participants will learn about image file types, cropping images, compositing several images together, ghosting images for use as Web page backgrounds, using layers and formatting text with bevels and other effects, and tricks to prepare your digital photos for transfer to the Web and e-mail.

Registration is $69 on or before Thursday, Dec. 4, or $79 after that date.

Instructor for both classes is Gordon Pike, a retired engineer who has taught computer classes for more than 10 years.
