Personal Web Site Information
As a benefit to employees, WCC provides each faculty and staff member with space to create personal web pages if they wish. These pages must follow certain Guidelines for Personal Web Pages. How to get access: Web space is set aside when your E-Mail account is created. Your website url is http://orchard.wccnet.edu/~your_wcc_email_username How to get a WCC Faculty/Staff E-mail account. How to develop web pages: You may develop web pages using a variety of software applications, including Netscape Composer, Microsoft Publisher, notepad (for the experienced), etc. For example, in Netscape Composer: Step 1. Open a New File. Go to the File menu, then New, and then select Blank Page. Alternatively, go to the Communicator Menu and select Composer. Alternatively, go to the File menu and open an existing file with Composer. Step 2. Save Your File to Your Local Hard Drive. Go to the File Menu and Select Save As. Type in a name for your file, include an htm or html extension, browse to a destination, and save. Save often as you work. Step 3. Create Your Content. Use the tools in Composer to design your web page(s). How to ftp your web pages to your site: 1. If using an ftp application, follow the instructions that came with the application to send files to ftp://orchard.wccnet.edu/home/your_wcc_email_username/public_html/. 2. If using Internet Explorer, type ftp://orchard.wccnet.edu/ in the address bar, then type your WCC E-mail username and password in the dialog box that appears. Alternatively, you may also type ftp://your_wcc_email_username@orchard.wccnet.edu in the address bar. You may now drag and drop or otherwise copy your web files to the server, placing them in the public_html folder. 3. If using Netscape, Open your web page in Composer. Click on the Publish button in the File menu. Enter a Page Title and HTML Filename for your page (if not already filled in). Enter an HTTP or FTP Location to publish to as follows: ftp://orchard.wccnet.edu/home/your_wcc_email_username/public_html/ . Enter your WCC E-mail username and password. Include other files, if desired. Click OK. How to get help: WCC does not have resources to develop personal web pages for faculty/staff, but if you have questions about how to ftp to your site, contact the Web Services Department at or (734) 677-5179. Web page authoring classes are also offered from time to time. |
