ISS encourages you to publish your own web-site.

Here are the steps to putting a web page on the World Wide Web (www)

1. have an account on a web server
2. create html page(s)
3. put the html pages on the web server

1) Your account

As a staff member of DCU you have an account on our webserver. Your account username and password are those you initially received for your E-Mail and Novell login.

Your own web site address (URL) is http://webpages.DCU.ie/~username

So if your username is bloggsj then your web address is http://webpages.DCU.ie/~bloggsj
You have up to 20Mb of disk space on the DCU web server to enable you to publish your own web pages.

2) How to create a html page

A local guide to writing HTML is available at http://www.DCU.ie/ISS/webpages.shtml

3) How to put your html page on your web site

Once you have created your html/web page(s) on your local machine you need to transfer them onto the web server machine. Here are instructions on how to do this.
