Personal Web Page Guidelines

Helpful Information

• Your web pages are stored in your personal file space under the web subdirectory.
  • This folder should already exist in the username folder of your k: drive.
• The main page file should be a file called index.html or index.htm. The server also accepts home.html or home.htm.
• The URL for your page will be http://home.messiah.edu/~username (substitute your email/mcsquare username).
• URLs that only specify a directory will load the main page file in that directory (e.g. index.html).
• Use relative links when referring to other files that are part of your home page(s).
• Use links of the form "/~other username" to refer to other Messiah students web pages.
• If linking to other parts of the Messiah site, the URL will need to be an absolute link referring to http://www.messiah.edu/
• URLs are case-sensitive. It is recommended to always use lowercase in both URLs and your filenames stored in the web directory.
