With today's technology, even computer novices have the ability to create web pages! With the following information, you should be able to get up and running with starting your club's informative web site.
FIVE STEPS TO CREATING A WEB PAGE
- Using Webfile, login to your club account using the same Net ID and password you use for your club's email.
- Open a web page authoring program (see below for examples).
- Type the information you want to appear on the web page.
- Select File: Save As: (be sure you are saving the file as .htm or .html).
Save the page in your club's WWW folder (on the club AFS account). - Preview your page in your favorite web browser.
SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
- Your home page should be labeled as index.htm. The home page address for your club will be http://www.nd.edu/~clubafs/
- When you type this address in your Web Browser, your index.htm page will appear.
- All of your pages will appear after the address: http://www.nd.edu/~clubafs/.
- For example, the file "membership.htm" would be located at http://www.nd.edu/~clubafs/membership.htm
- Do not copy files, images, information, etc. from other web sites. If you find something you like on another web page, ask the page owner's permission to use any info, graphics, etc. For more information, read the University's Responsible Use of Information Technology.
