How to set up your own web page on Nature.Berkeley.Edu

1. Get an account on Nature from the nice folks in 42 Giannini.
2. Log on to your Nature account through SSH or Mindterm.
3. Create a subdirectory called public_html by typing this UNIX command:

   mkdir public_html

4. Make your very own "home page" and call it index.html. You can use many word processors or Web editing programs to make this file. For example, if you use Microsoft Word, select File/New/Web Page to create a web page, or File/Save As HTML to save a regular Word document as a web page. Or use the Netscape Composer program: find a sample web page and choose File/Edit to make your own changes, which you will save to a new file on your computer.
5. When your web page is ready, you can use any of three methods to put it into your new public_html directory:
   • use FTP to log into Nature and transfer the file from your computer to the public_html in your Nature home directory [see this introduction to FTP],
   • or if you're using Netscape Composer, choose File/Publish to send it to your public_html directory,
   • or if you're working on a PC in the CNR-DOM2 domain and have logged into your domain account, look for the public_html directory under your \\nature\homes directory (usually the H: drive).
6. Back in UNIX, give everybody permission to see your new directory and home page by typing these two commands:

   chmod a+rx ~
    
   chmod -R a+rx ~/public_html
   

7. Look for your new web page. Its address will be http://www.cnr.berkeley.edu/~youraccountname.
