�鶹��Ƶ

A '''personal homepage''' is a user's personal [[website]] for personal purposes. All users at �鶹��Ƶ have access to create and maintain their own personal homepages. The College provides no resources other than the hosting space and [[bandwidth]] for users' personal homepages.

Postings to �鶹��Ƶ' campus-wide information system by individuals and student organizations reflect their own thoughts, interests and activities; they do not implicitly or explicitly represent official positions and policies of �鶹��Ƶ. Individual page maintainers assume responsibility and liability for the content of their documents.

== Location ==

=== URLs ===
Each user's personal homepage can be accessed from <nowiki>http://homepages.gac.edu/~username/</nowiki> where username is that user's [[�鶹��Ƶ username]]. For instance, if your �鶹��Ƶ username is fsmash, your personal homepage would be accessed at <nowiki>http://homepages.gac.edu/~fsmash/</nowiki>

=== Files ===
The files for each user's personal homepage are stored in a special www-docs folder in each user's [[home directory]]. The main page must be called index.html or index.php in order for the personal homepage to work properly and to its fullest potential.

== Contribute ==
To set up [[Adobe Contribute]] to maintain your personal homepage, please follow these steps:

# Open Contribute.
# In the [[menu bar]], select '''Edit > My Connections'''.
# Click on the button labeled "Create..."
# A new window will pop up. Click "Next >"
# [[File:Contribute_create_connection_url.jpg|200px|thumb|right]] Under "What do you want to connect to?" make sure that "Website" is selected. In the box that asks "What is the web address (URL) of your website?" type in the URL to your personal homepage. For your reference, this should be http://homepages.gac.edu/~yourusername/ so if your [[username]] is fsmash, this should be http://homepages.gac.edu/~fsmash/ <br class="clear" />
# Click "Next >"
# [[File:Contribute_create_connection_connect.jpg|200px|thumb|right]] Under "How do you connect to your web server?" select "Secure FTP (SFTP)". <br class="clear" />
# Under "What is the name of your SFTP server?" type ftp.gac.edu
# Type your [[�鶹��Ƶ username]] and [[�鶹��Ƶ password|password]] into the other two boxes and click "Next >"
# [[File:Contribute_create_connection_remote_path.jpg|200px|thumb|right]] Under "On the SFTP server, what folder contains your website?" simply add "www-docs/" to the end of the default text. It should look something like this: /Net/gac/home/f/s/fsmash/www-docs/ <br class="clear" />
# [[File:Contribute_create_connection_user.jpg|200px|thumb|right]] Click "Next >".  Enter your name and email in the corresponding text boxes. <br class="clear" />
# Click "Next >". You should now see a summary window with the information you previously filled out.  Click "Done" to finish.
