La Plaza User Homepage Listing Things to look out for Avoid any spaces in filenames; and remember that once it's been uploaded to the Unix server that case matters - in other words, "filename.html" will be seen as a different file than "Filename.HTML". These are the most common mistakes and easy to make since most desktop machines are case-insensitive and don't have a problem with spaces in filenames. Hints Name the first file you want seen "index.html" or "index.htm". This is the page that will be shown if someone requests "http://laplaza.org/~loginID". This will also cause you to be listed in the La Plaza Users Homepages listing. Keep your image file sizes as small as possible. Most people don't have the patience to wait for a 200k full-screen JPG file, no matter how cool it is. |
