HOW TO SET UP YOUR HOME PAGE Below is a template that you can use to create your home page for world wide viewing under mosaic. To create your initial home page from the template, please replace all occurrences of strings of the form ** x ** with the information indicated by x. Consider the steps that I would take to install my home page. First I performs the following rewriting operations on the template: **your name** => Bob Paige **your title** => Professor **your user name** => paige **argument to finger you from cs domain** => paige@green **office number, street address** => Room 419, 251 Mercer St. **your extension** => 8-3080 **your fax number => 212-995-4121 Next, I store the rewritten template in my local directory under the name index.html, and view it by typing mosaic index.html If it looks ok, I store it in the permanent directory that has been created for my mosaic home page. That is, I ftp to merv or to doc, and type (while inside the ftp program) cd /usr/httpd/htdocs/cs/faculty ls where ls will print out a list of directories named after faculty members. I locate my name (the directory paige in the list), and complete the installation of my home page by typing (still inside of ftp) cd paige send index.html quit Finally, I check my installation (by viewing my installed home page) by typing mosaic http://cs.nyu.edu/cs/faculty/paige/index.html and by clicking with my mouse on underlined phrases. That's it. Good luck, and let me know if you have any problems. Once your initial home page is created, you can modify it to include links to files formatted in different ways including the html markup language, postscript, graphics, and sound. The HTML primer provides some help. You can also model your files after what others have done. Take a look at sample WWW nodes, and view the source files at these nodes by clicking on `File' (at the top left of your window) and on `View Source...' The home page template file appears just below the line. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
