How do I create/edit a home page?
Step 1 - create html folder
To create your personal WWW hompage, type:
[MAIN MENU]% makehome
and follow the on-screen instructions.
Typing makehome at the Main Menu prompt will create a generic homepage, with a few links that are pointers to html information, etc. The homepage is a file called index.html in the directory called html.
To personalize this file, type the following at the Main Menu prompt:
- unix
- cd html
- pico index.html
You can now begin editing your homepage.
You can modify this file in order to personalize it. To create a new page, just make a new file called filename.html. Make sure that this file is in your html directory and that it has the proper permissions set. It should be readable to everyone and writeable only to you. To do this, type the following from the unix prompt:
For files: chmod 644 filename.html
For directories: chmod 711 directory_name
Or, to set the permissions for all the files and directories in your html directory so everyone can read them, type permissions at the unix prompt.
For more information about permissions, see our chmod page.
There are also many places on the web that provide information on setting up a homepage, ranging from beginning html instruction to details on incorporating image maps and forms. Here are a few:
