ITE 115 Student Web Page Creation

May 5, 2011

 

First: All students have an account on the student web server. To create your web site, you must store files in your personal subdirectory (folder) on the web server computer. To access your subdirectory on the web server, you must know your NVCC LAN user-id and your LAN password (mmddssan). Your web subdirectory name is the same as your user-id. It is located in the “home” subdirectory at www.student.nvcc.edu. This is also the host name of your web site. Access your web site using http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/user-id. For instance, Elmer Fudd’s user-id is “efudd”.  Thus, his web folder is www.student.nvcc.edu/home/efudd. To access it, type http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/efudd into the address field of a browser.

 

Second: most of this information about uploading may be obtained from the NVCC web page:

 

1. Create this simple HTML document and save it as index.htm to floppy disk. Add to it later.

 

<html>

 

   <head>

     <title>My Test Page at Woodbridge Campus</title>

   </head>

 

   <body>

 

      <p>

         <h1><center>Woodbridge Campus</center></h1>

         This page is brought to you by <b>Elmer Fudd.</b>

      </p>

 

      <p>

         Woodbridge Campus is located in Northern Virginia.

A very simple and direct way to FTP to your Web folders:

(a) Use Microsoft Internet Explorer (your browser):

(b) In the browser’s address window, type:    ftp://www.student.nvcc.edu/      

(c) Press [Enter]

(d) Log on to the ftp server using your own credentials such as:

     (1)  NVSTU/JBSMITH56

     (2)  Type in your password 

(e)  Copy your files from the local hard drive to your Web folder on the server

(f)  Your Web folder will have an address like:   http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/jbsmith56  and you may

       view your uploaded files there.

     

 

2. You may use  WS_FTP95 LE to upload index.htm  to the student web server. If you don’t have an ftp program at home, you can obtain FTP Explorer from www.ftpx.com as shareware, but free for students and faculty.

 

a. Start WS_FTP

b. Use the following under the General Tab. Then Click the OK button, and you will be prompted for UserID and Password.

3. Add to the HTML document. After each change, upload it using ftp and then check it out with a browser.

      <li>Cookies </li>

      <li>Cake</li>

      <li>Twinkies </li>

      <li>Chocolate</li>

c. Add a cautionary “under construction” line:

 

<h3><font size = “+4” color=”yellow”>This page is under construction.</font></h3>

 
 

 

 

 

 


d. Add a “last updated” line at the very bottom:

<h6><center>Last updated: March 1, 2001</center></h6>

 
 

 

 

 

 


e.  Add your picture taken with a digital camera, or copy the computer portion of the image on my web page. (Copy it to a floppy, bring it into the program Microsoft Paint, and select only the computer part.) Place the image file in the same directory as this file, and include the following as the first line in the body:

<img src=”computer.jpg” alt=”Picture of a computer.” height=149 width=190>

 

 
 


 

 

 

f. Add a marquee at the top and/or the bottom.

 

Top:

 

<marquee><font size = “+6” color = “red”><b>Welcome to my web page.</b></font></marquee>

 

Bottom:

 

<marquee behavior = “alternate”> <font size = “+8” color = “blue”> <b>Thanks for visiting!.</b> </font> </marquee>

 

 

g. Add a link to your instructor’s home page:

 

<p>

Click

<a href=”http://www.nvcc.edu/home/tseaman”>here</a>

to go to my instructor’s home page.

</p>

 

 

h.  Add the “happy face” applet:

 

 

<applet code="HappyFace.class" height = 500 width = 500> </applet>

 


First: I have an account on the student web server so that I can demonstrate the following to students. My user ID is still NVSEAMT and my Web site’s URL is www.student.nvcc.edu/home/nvseamt

 

Second: most of this information about uploading may be obtained from the NVCC web page:

 

http://www.nvcc.edu/ ŕ “Mail & Web” (on navigation bar) ŕ “Student E-Mail Help Web Pages - click here” (on rhs) ŕ Student Web  (button) ŕ FTP (button)

Rounded Rectangular Callout: I have space on “studentweb1”.(I called IT and requested one on the student side.)  Use my normal ID and normal password to upload files.

I type my full ID using the NVCC domain and the NVSEAMT ID. Do NOT use the “tseaman” ID. Use
       nvcc/nvseamt
My password is my standard LAN password.
