Description of the Petz Web Fun Pack
The Petz Web Fun Pack is a web-ready assortment of Dogz and Catz clip art, animations, backgrounds, buttons, banners and groovy sounds - free for you to use on your web page. Whether you already have a web site or are creating one from scratch, you can use this easy-to-use Petz clip art collection to really make your pages come alive!

Getting Started
Using the Petz Web Fun Pack is really easy! Just launch your Internet browser and use it to surf the Web Fun Pack HTML (short for Hyper Text Mark-up Language, the code used to make web pages) pages. Just start with "intro.htm", the Fun Pack introductory page at the root level of your "Fun Pack" directory. From this point on, surf the Fun Pack pages much same way you would sites on the Internet. Once you've found something that you want to use for your web page - simply right-click and save your selection in the directory which houses your web site images. 

Dragging-and-dropping files directly from Web Fun Pack folders into the correct folder for your web site is another way to copy stuff. This is also very easy to do because everything is organized for you inside the main directory ("Fun Pack") according to category.

Copying Instructions for Mac Users
For Mac platforms, copy stuff by holding down mouse button over your selection  - then save to your web graphics folder. Or drag-and-drop files from the Web Fun Pack folders into your web folder.

Contents of Petz Web Fun Pack
The Fun Pack directories are well organized, so locating any of these clip-media is hassle-free. If you open your Petz Web Fun Pack directory ("Fun Pack"), you will see the following first-level directories, which contain even more directories organized according to the following categories:

  • Animations - with exciting Dogz, Catz, Toyz and Treatz GIF animations!

  • Buttons - a wonderful assortment of Dogz and Catz inspired web buttons.
  • Clip Art - containing a fabulous collection of still images of Dogz, Catz, Treatz and Toyz included in the Web Fun Pack. Use these images for your web page.
  • Petz Banners - here are some nifty Petz Banners for linking to the PF.Magic Petz web site.
  • Sound Bytes - These Dogz and Catz sounds are making the Internet one noisy place!
  • HTML - HTML pages that allow you to 'surf' the Web Fun Pack using your Internet browser.

Future Location of the Petz Web Fun Pack on-line version
On your next visit to the PF.Magic Petz web site, look for an on-line version of the Petz Web Fun Pack, where new clip art will be added from time to time. Look for announcements and updates in PetzNet Central, PF.Magic's web - the place to get downloads and free Adoption Kits. If you plan on visiting PetzNet Central, you might want to use some of this stuff in this Clip Art collection for making your own Petz images. You can show the world your Petz by posting your Petz Pix to the PF.Magic Petz Pix Gallery.

To follow any of these links to web sites on the Internet, make sure you're on-line.

On-line Resources for Making Web Sites
The least expensive way to design a web site is using free software. If you currently have Microsoft Word or Excel on your computer, you can actually download Microsoft's Internet Assistant and use it to do basic web page design. For the Word version, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/word/internet/ia/default.htm.

Another free option you have for making web pages is to use Composer, which is a part of Netscape Communicator. You may also wish to search CNet's site, http://www.cnet.com for web page design tips, software and great Internet-related links and applications.

There are also several web page design programs, which are not free, that are also very good. Some of these include: Microsoft FrontPage 98, Claris Home Page, Adobe Pagemill and BBEdit.

Finding web design tips and tricks on the Internet is easy, since there are so many good sites out there offering free advice on HTML, web page layout and design, making .GIF animations, and what's involved in making your graphics web-ready. Just do a quick web search on the topic, and you'll find tons of stuff on the web about creating good web pages.

Whether you already have a web site or are creating one from scratch, making web pages can be fun and challenging - and there are always new tricks to learn, new ways of doing things. The best advice to give anyone making web sites is to focus on what really interests you - and take it from there! Making web pages about things you really care about - and sharing it with others on the Internet - is one of the greatest things the web has to offer (besides our Petz, of course!).
