Tori's Guide to Making an Awesome Website

1. Open Cyberduck.
2. Click on the "Open Connection" button in the top right (a blue globe with a green plus sign).
3. In the drop down menu at the top of the box that comes up, select SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).
4. In the "Server:" box, type math.uic.edu
5. For your "Username:", this is either your UIC login (usually your first initial, the first five letters of your last name, and a number), or if you had an @math.uic.edu email address, it is that username (often these are the same).
6. Enter your password, I like to keep my password saved.
7. Press connect.
8. Open "public_html". This is the folder where your website files wil go.

You can use any text editor you'd like to write your page, such as Notepad or any LaTeX editor. I like to use Komodo Edit, which you can download here, since it has nice syntax highlighting.

Your homepage should be saved as "index.html". I like to keep this and any images for my webpage in a folder on my desktop for easy access. You can download an example of this folder by saving this link (if you right or control click, choose to download the link to your desktop). The folder is zipped, so you can unzip it and put it on your desktop. You can see how it will look here. Replace the "me.jpg" file with a picture of yourself, and "pic2.jpg" with another photo if you'd like (otherwise, just delete that part in the template).

1. Log into the math server as described above.
2. Put index.html and your images folder, as well as any other things you'd like ony our page (like your CV or pdf's of papers) in the public_html fold by dragging them from your local folder.
