Creating and Using your Carthage Personal Home Page

All Carthage users can have space on the new Carthage web hosting server. It's simple to set up and publish pages to it. Here's what you need to do:

Activate the web site

  1. Point your web browser to http://personal.carthage.edu
  2. Fill in your NOVELL user id and password
  3. Your web site will be created. If you get an error message, try again. If it still won't work, contact the Hedberg Library Information Desk
  4. Note the web address that it gives you. It should be http://personal.carthage.edu/username
    where "username" is the same as your Novell user id

To create or modify your web site directly in FrontPage

  1. Open FrontPage
  2. Click on File -> Open Web (Please note: your web was already created when you activated your web space, so you need to "open" it rather than "create" it.)
  3. Type in the address you were given (for example, http://personal.carthage.edu/username)
  4. Click the Open button
  5. You will get a login screen. Enter your NOVELL user id in the User name field and your Novell password in the password field. Click on OK.
  6. A document named index.html has been created for you already. It is your main page. Double-click on it to open it.
    1. If you do not see it, click on the Folders icon in the Views panel at the left.
    2. You may choose to rename index.html to index.htm or Default.htm, but your main page must have one of these three names to work properly.
  7. Use FrontPage as you would otherwise to create other pages, add images, etc. Use Save to save your changes. These changes will be live on your web site.

To publish an existing web using FrontPage

If you have an existing web created on your local hard drive, you can publish it to http://personal.carthage.edu using FrontPage.

  1. Open FrontPage
  2. Open your local web until you see it on your screen. Modify it if you want to.
  3. Click on File -> Publish Web
  4. Type in the address you were given (in format http://personal.carthage.edu/username)
  5. Click the OK button
  6. You will get a login screen. Enter your NOVELL user id in the User name field and your Novell password in the password field. Click on OK.
  7. Click the Show>> button to see the destination files on the server in the right-hand window.
  8. Click the Publish button. You will get a message when the process has completed successfully.
