Publishing a Personal Page at Marywood

We are pleased to invite members of the Marywood University community, students, faculty and staff, to publish a personal web site on our server. You may set up your web site following the directions below and we will provide a link to you from the appropriate menu on the Marywood site.

1. For Students: Your web account will be tied to your Marywood University e-mail account. You will need the password that was issued to you by Marywood. If you do not have access to that password, contact the Help Desk to reset it: 340-6070 or helpdesk@marywood.edu. For Faculty & Staff: a username and password will be created for you.

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 transfer the files. We recommend FireFTP, a FireFox extension. Using your username and password with this programs will automatically open the www folder in your site.

5. Design your website. Name your main page "index.html". Many web design packages are available commercially and as free downloads, or you can use any text editor such as SimpleText or NotePad. You will find software available in all computer labs on campus: NVU (also available as a free program through download.com). Macromedia Dreamweaver is also available in selected labs. 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. 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.
