Edit your HTML file
The quickest way to get started is learning by example. Please copy and paste the following into your text editor:
<html> <head> <title>My first Web Page</title> </head> <body bgcolor = "white">Save and View your HTML file<h2>My first Web Page </h2> <p>I am so happy to be at Fordham! Here are some things about me you might like to know. <ul> <li> My favorite color is blue. <li> John Mulcahy Hall is home away from home. <li>I love the Big Apple. <li> My favorite web site is <a href="http://www.cnn.com">cnn.com </a> </ul> </body> </html>
Save your file as index.html. To see the real look and feel of your web page, open a web browser, and choose to open the index.html file. The web browser will load, and render the html file.
Iteration between editing your web page and preview it
You can then practice making changes to your index.html file from the text editor, save it, and then preview it in the web browser (click on the reload button).
Publish your webpage by uploading it to a server
To make your webpage accessible by the whole world, all you need to do is to uploading it to a proper location in a web server.
The web server we use for this class is storm.cis.fordham.edu. You will need to upload your index.html (and other files needed for your website) to your home diretory on storm.
To upload file to the server, first log out from storm (by typing exit), and then type in the following command:
$scp index.html your_account@storm.cis.fordham.edu:~/public_html $cd download //suppose you save some image to the download directory $scp myfile.jpg your_account@storm.cis.fordham.edu:~/public_htmlThe scp command is a secure remote copying command that allows you to transfer files between computers. Now you can view your webpage from anywhere, by entering the following URL into a browser:
http://storm.cis.fordham.edu/your_account
