Publishing a Personal Website With WebSpace

WebSpace allows you to publish personal websites. Students can create personal sites or ePortfolios to showcase their coursework and projects. Faculty can publish material that complements courses they teach, or publish their CVs and list their publications.

WebSpace supports websites that use plain HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Dynamic sites, such as those that use PHP or Perl, are not supported.

Creating a Personal Website

Actually creating a personal website is beyond the scope of this document. However, there are many good online tutorials available that walk you through creating a Web site, including:

When creating your website, be sure to name your main (home) page index.html, since this is the file that Web browsers look for by default in your www directory. Using index.html as your main page will allow visitors to view your site without having to guess what you might have called the home page.

Uploading Your Website

Create a new folder and name it "www ".
Right-click the www folder, select Manage, and then select Permissions.
For the Public group, select the Viewer (Read-Only) radio button, and then click the Apply button.

Note: Only give Viewer (Read-Only) permissions to the Public group, or ANYONE will be able to modify or delete your files.
Upload all of the files for your Web site into the www folder.
