Your personal web
space is addressable at http://www.physics.syr.edu/~username/
(for example, mine
is at http://www.physics.syr.edu/~dkirk/
All of the files for that web page are under your home directory in the public_html directory.
The default web page the server looks for is called index.html
If you have problems
viewing your web page, verify the permissions are correct.
All directories and
web pages at and under public_html should be rwx r-x r-x
If you still cannot
get permission to see the web page, check the permissions on your top level
directory (ie: /home2/username)
If there's something else you'd like to see here, let me know.
As far as "how" to write web pages, there are plenty of guides on the web.
Our suggestion is
starting with the editor you should already have... Netscape Composer.
