On this page, you will be putting links to your class assignments: labs and project parts. (Please remember later to make these easily assessible - you don't want a cranky grader)

The following instructions presume that you are logged onto a UNIX (or UNIX-like system such as linux).

1. Create a directory for your home page by typing: mkdir public_html

2. Change to that directory by typing: cd public_html

3. Save the source of a simple HTML page. (It's at: ~kal/public_html/elecdoc/EDform.html on owl (cs) if you wish to FTP or cp it.)

   Call it index.html if you don't have a home page or perhaps yournameCS525stuff if you do.

4. Edit this file:
   1. Change Title by changing the words between <title> and < .title >. This information appears at the very top of your browser, not on the page itself.

   2. Create your own H1 header, by changing the words between <h1> and </h1>

   3. Write a few words about yourself

5. After you leave the editor, type: chmod 755 *.html. (do this everytime you create a new .html file). This makes your page accessible by others.

6. Change back up to your root directory by typing: cd ..

7. Type: chmod 755 public_html. This makes the directory accessible.

8. Go one level higher via cd .. , type chmod 755 your-user-name, and then return to your directory with cd your-user-name

9. Go into your favorite browser and take a look!

10. Now make your page nicer.

11. Write the http address of this page on the list I pass around.
