Publishing Web Pages on BUBBS

How you "publish" your web page depends on what web server you will be using. In general, the idea is to copy all of your .htm files plus all the picture files to the web server.

Here are instructions for publishing your page using BUBBS as the web server. BUBBS is Biola University's FirstClass Conferencing server, which also acts as a web server.

1. Log in to BUBBS
2. On your Desktop, there should be a folder called Home Page Folder (). Open it. If you can't find it, do File... Open... Home Page.
3. Find the folder on your computer that has all your web documents.  It's probably in something like My Documents \ My Webs \ myweb
4. Resize your windows so you can see both that folder and the Home Page Folder.
5. Drag all files from that folder into the Home Page Folder.

Once the files finish uploading, your page is now published. The URL of your web page follows this pattern:

My BUBBS email name is Matthew Weathers, so my web page is http://www.bubbs.biola.edu/~matthew.weathers/

Note: If you make changes to a document, and upload the changed document, BUBBS will keep two copies in the Home Page Folder. You should erase the older version, so the web server will only show your newest version.

If there is a file with one of the following magic names: index.htm default.htm home.htm index.html default.html or home.html, then the web server will display that file automatically, rather than the list of files when someone goes to your web page. It's a good idea to have a file named index.html in your Home Page Folder.
