Publish Web Pages at UVM:

Open Your Page in a Browser

You have created your web page using a text editor, word processor or HTML editor (or any combination of the three). How you open it depends on your browser and where the file is.

Most browsers will have a URL or address box near the top in which to type the address of your file. For example, in Netscape 6:

The address for the opening page of this Windows web tutorial is at the address:
http://www.uvm.edu/~hag/wcreate/wcstartwin.html

What does this mean?
(1) http:// - tells Netscape you are looking for a web page
(2) www.uvm.edu - tells Netscape that the web page is located on the web server at the University of Vermont (aka "zoo")
(3) /~hag - tells the web server to look in the public_html folder in the account named "hag"
(4) /wcreate - specifies that the file is in a folder named "wcreate" within the public_html folder in that account
(5) /wcstartwin.html - tells the browser to look for a file of that exact name in the wcreate sub-folder

Your page will be at http://www.uvm.edu/~your-accout-name/filename.html

View the page and decide if you want to make changes. To edit the page, you can:
1) re-open the copy that you saved on your hard disk in Composer by going to Communicator: Composer, File: Open, and finding the file.
or 

2) open the file into Composer directly from the web by going to File: Edit Page in the Netscape menu. This will open a copy of the file into a new Composer window. 

or

3) use FTP to download a copy of the file from zoo to your hard drive, then open it with your web editor of choice.

Once you have the file, continue with the web publishing cycle: edit, save, upload/set permissions, view!
