How to build a (basic) website at MUSC Elizabeth Garrett-Mayer April 28, 2014
Homeroom • You must map the ‘homeroom’ network drive to your computer. • The name of the drive is (but replace “netid” with your netid: \\homeroom.musc.edu\netid
Go to homeroom • Notice the ‘public_html’ folder • Everything in it is “public” • Can be seen be anyone, even if it isn’t created as a specific hyperlink • Open the public_html folder
index.html • In public_html, open or create an index.html file using a word processing program (e.g. Word, Emacs, WinEdt) • Be sure to save it as a .htm or .html file. • This file is your ‘homepage’
Creating your home page • Should be clean and easy to navigate • Make links to relevant content • CV • Papers • Photos album • Don’t try to put too much on the home page
Using templates • You can easily organize using a table with hidden gridlines (my strategy) • Find other peoples pages and save the source code: edit it to make it yours. • Some examples: • http://bcb.dfci.harvard.edu/~gp/ • http://www.columbia.edu/~yc632/ • http://rafalab.dfci.harvard.edu/ • http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~rpeng/
Adding in links • Right click, add hyperlink • Create a new page • Add in a photo
