Tips and Links for Posting Web Pages

• Your life in IT 130 will be much easier if you own a USB Flash Drive for saving your exercises and projects (512 MB is plenty). Other names for a Flash Drive are a memory stick, jump drive orthumb drive. Always keep a backup of your projects!
• Go to ID Services to apply for your student computer account if you do not already have one. This account is also used for student email. Go to the link http://is.depaul.edu/communication/web/personal_students.asp for more information. Still having difficulties? You might need to contact the Technical Contact Center. They can be reached at 312-362-8765.
• Here is the official site for downloading the SSH software: http://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/. Click on SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe and select Run to install the software on your machine. File transfer software is now available as WinSCP. Select WinSCP 4.0.7 Installation Package for most stable version.
• PSPad is the recommended editor for creating web pages in this class, although any text editor will work. You can download the PSPad installer program here. For Macintosh computers, I recommend jEdit, which is also available on PCs.
• While you can use any Web browser, I recommend Firefox, which provides the most help in finding problems with your web page.
• Make sure that your Microsoft File Explorer is set to show file extensions:
1. You can invoke the MS File Explorer by selecting Start, All Programs, Accessories, and Windows Explorer.
2. From the MS File Explorer, select Tools, Folder Options.... Select the View tab and uncheck the box for "Hide extensions for known file types".
