  1. Web Site Administration with the IEEE’s EWH server Paul Wesling Compaq Computer CPMT VP-Publications & Webmaster p.wesling@ieee.org

  2. The Successful Chapter • Notes on MajorDomo: • I administer 5 IEEE MajorDomo lists • The Chapter has 1800+ active “names” • Powerful resource: evening meetings, short courses, local symposia, other “alerts” • Moderated vs “open” • Avoiding spam; keeping goodwill • Philosophy of adding “names”

  3. A Chapter Website • SCV Engineers expect a Chapter to have a public “face” – a website • These can be simple, and can grow in content over a period of years • Find one you like; copy its structure; substitute your own content and flavor

  4. Chapter Website example:www.cpmt.org/scv/ Evening Meetings Short Courses Local Conferences

  5. Chapter Website Example (cont) Historical Record of Past events Reasons: -Reports -Finding old mtgs & events

  6. Editing in HTML Best bet: use simple HTML. Much more manageable than using a WYSIWYG editor, or MS WordCopy a template from another webpage, then optimize itfor your own use and content: <HEAD> <title>Santa Clara Valley Chapter, CPMT Society</title> <META name="description" content="Home Page for Santa Clara Valley/Silicon Valley Chapter of the IEEE's Components, Packaging & Manufacturing Technology Society"> <META name="keywords" content="CPMT, IEEE, Electronics Packaging, Components, Manufacturing Technology, IC Packaging, Reliability, Electronic Materials, Transactions, Proceedings"> </HEAD> <BODY background="../gif/cpmtbkgnd.gif">

  8. Linking to Higher Levels The SCV Section Website

  9. Linking to Higher Levels (cont) How people Find your Site & Activities

  10. Getting a Host for your Chapter • First, you need a Webmaster: knows some HTML • Your Chapter website can be anywhere: company, university, commercial host • Our preference: IEEE maintains a high-speed web server called the “Entity Web Hosting” (EWH) server – just for IEEE “entities” like Sections and Chapters

  11. How it Works • First, you create/edit your files, and organize them as a “website” on your own computer • Then you “upload” these files (and updates as they occur) to the EWH server, using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client • Examples: CuteFTP (PC), FETCH (Mac)

  12. Example of FTP Client Files on your Computer Files on the Server

  13. Structure, on the EWH Server • Top level: //ewh.ieee.org/r6/scv/This is where the SCV Section resides • Within this “directory”, there can be many subdirectories, one for each Chapter:/mtt/ /eds//pes/ /ssc/ …etc • Each has its own Webmaster, UserName, and Password

  14. Getting your EWH Server Account • First, get a volunteer to be your Chapter Webmaster; should know the basic “tags” • Have Rockwell Hsu create an account for your Webmaster (UserName, Password) • The EWH administrators will give you basic instructions (root directory, etc) • Load your pages; review and modify them • “Go live” – have Jonathan link to your new resource!
