Publishing a Personal Web Page at Marywood

1. Request a Marywood e-mail account if you do not already one. Contact the Help Desk to set it up: 348-6211 x 2569 or helpdesk@ac.marywood.edu.

2. Read Conditions of Computer Use, Web Pages Policy and the Guidelines for Faculty, Staff and Student Personal Web Pages.

3. Print out the Personal Web Page Request Form, read and sign it. Send it to the Webmaster by campus mail or deliver it to CNHS 122. Ordinarily, your account will be web-enabled within a few days. Your URL will be

   http://ac.marywood.edu/username/www/

   Note:

   • 'username' is replaced by your actual username

4. When your account is web-enabled, a folder called "www" will be placed at the root level in your account. This is where you should transfer your website files. The easiest way to do that is to use an FTP program to create the folder and transfer the files. We recommend Fetch for Macintosh and SmartFTP for Windows. Using your username and password with these programs will automatically open the www folder in your site.

5. Design your website. Name your main page "index.html". Web design software is available commercially or you can use any text editor such as SimpleText or NotePad. You will find software available in selected computer labs on campus: Claris Homepage in LAC 211, SC 102 and McG 1057, Macromedia Dreamweaver in LAC 211. You will find many resources and tutorials on the web. We have a list of web design resources to get you started.

6. You are allocated approximately 10 Mb of disk space for all files in your e-mail account (not just your WWW files). Requests for additional space should be submitted in writing to the Webmaster including the rationale for the request and, where appropriate, authorizing signatures (e.g., If space is needed for a student project, a faculty signature should be provided.). Contact information (phone number and e-mail address) should also be included. Such requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
