This server is primarily intended for CIS & IRCS faculty, students, and staff. If you're one of these folks, then the instructions below apply.

Steps to take to make information available on this WWW server:

1. First, become familiar with HTML:
   Read The minimal HTML document or if you have more time read The Primer for HTML
   
   
2. Next, create your HTML documents in the directory public_html in your home directory. Make sure that these files are readable by everyone, and your home directory and your public_html directory has world execution permissions. To add world execution permissions for a directory, use: chmod a+x directory. To add read permission for a file, use: chmod a+r filename.
   
   
3. Finally, run the command "registerpage" from the server where your page is located. Note that until registerpage takes special steps to "publish" access to your public_html directory, it won't be accessible to the web, so this step (requesting the addition) is crucial.

Your URL will be http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~username/filename
