How to create your own WWW homepage
It's easy to create your own World Wide Web homepage that others can access.
All you need to do is create a world-accessible directory called WWW in
your home directory. For example, you can use the following commands (the
% in these examples indicates your Unix prompt):
% cd ~ (make sure you are in your home directory)
% mkdir WWW (create a directory called WWW)
% chmod a+rx (make the directory world readable)
Note: Your home directory must
be world readable.
Then put world readable hypertext (*.html) files in that directory. For a
user smith the file index.html would have the following address:
http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~smith/index.html
or, if you specify a directory and it contains index.html, that file will
be loaded automagically. So, you can refer to it simply as:
http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~smith
In fact, we recommend that you do create an index.html so that our
automated software will add you to our list of people in the department.
