dss.ucsd.edu/~username • Requires Secure FTP (SFTP) over Port 22 • Mac: Cyberduck or Transmit • PC: Filezilla • Anything that supports SFTP, really • Server Path: sftp://dss.ucsd.edu/public_html • Dssmail username & password • May not work for new students, but let’s try!
Building a webpage • If you know html, start from scratch • If you don’t (or are lazy), use a template • freecsstemplates.org • opendesigns.org • Many, many, many, many, many others • Dreamweaver ($$$) or Nvu (Free!)
Building a webpage • KISS • No hierarchy (Everything in public_html) • Sitewide images in a single folder • Downloadable docs in a single folder • Landing page is index.html • Utilize free services
thedata.org dvn.iq.harvard.edu But don’t trust it! IQSS Dataverse Project
mendeley.com • Like iTunes for research papers • Supports APSA citation style • Saves space by storing PDFs online • But, then all your PDFs are online • Good with Word & OO, but not
Other Bibiography Options • Zotero: Firefox Plugin • Refworks • BibTex-Compatible • JabRef • BibDesk (Mac Only)
Academia.edu • Better at social networking than Mendeley, but poorer handling of research papers and files • Meh, just use Facebook
General Tips • KISS • Don’t put the same thing on multiple sites • Papers posted in one place • Data posted in one place • Social networking done in one place • DSS website ties it all together
Other Cool Stuff • Scribd: Embedded PDF viewer • scienceblogs.com • inkscape.org: Vector Graphics • rseek.org: Search all R user groups • Quick-R: statmethods.net/ • ctan.org: All things
