To set up a home page, you must first obtain a computer user account
(ePass) on SAGE. If you already have an account, you are all set.
Accounts are
created for all enrolled students at the beginning of each semester.
Stop by the front desk of Computing and Telecommunication Services
(CATS) during business hours with your PLU student ID and pick up your
ePass username and password. Faculty and staff can call CATS at x7525
during business hours and sign up for an ePass. Finally, if you
are interested in setting up a web page for a campus department or
organization, obtain an authorization letter from your department head
or organization sponsor and fill out the Web Account Request.
This information then needs to be taken down to the CATS office.
Once you have an ePass, activate it for use. You can then setup your
account for a website. Follow the directions as they are given. This
process will create a Web directory inside your user
directory, copy a template home page into it called "home.html", and
insert a link into the PLU home page on your home page. The link will
be placed under the PLU User Home Pages listing in the appropriate
index. It will take about one hour for your link to appear and your
home page to be accessible from a web browser.
If you already have a home page directory, the above command will tell you this and register you for a link in the PLU home page. It will not make any changes to the existing directory or its files.
The URL for your home page will be
http://www.plu.edu/~username
where username is your ePass username. Note that the character before the username is required and is called a "tilde".
There are many choices for constructing a website using the space in a
PLU ePass account. Anyone with access to a computer can edit a webpage
using a text editor but this requires a knowledge of the languages of
the web: HTML and CSS.
Websites can also be constructed with special editing programs that
provide a similar interface to what you might use in a word processing
program complete with buttons and toolbars that automatically write
HTML code for you. Available WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get, pronounced "WHIZ-ee-wig")
editors include Macromedia Dreamweaver and Mozilla Composer. These
tools (as well as personal help) are available for use by anyone in the
PLU community in the Digital Media Center during their hours of operation.
Finally, a newly available option is PLU's web content management system Uedit. This online
WYSIWYG editor can be used with the Mozilla web browser to create, edit, and update a PLU website from anywhere in
the world! See the Uedit help page for more information and how to get
started.
