Adding your Homepage

An example of adding your homepage to the Bradley phonebook server.

NOTE:You must check to make sure your homepage is working and that you have the correct URL for it BEFORE adding it to the ph database! For more information, refer back to the help page.

All information contained in your personal homepage must comply with the Bradley University Posting Policy located in the Student Handbook, although it is not subject to pre-approval by the Student Activities Office.

Questions regarding interpretation of the Policy may be directed to the Student Activities Office. Individuals who violate this Policy may be subject to sanctions.

To add your HTML homepage to Bradley's phonebook server, you must first log in to it using the ph program, which is available on all UNIX machines supported by Bradley's Computing Services. First, start ph from your shell prompt:

$ ph
@(#)$Id: ph.c,v 6.17 1994/03/12 04:31:21 paul Exp $
200:Database ready.

ph>

Then you must log in to ph. Your ph login should be the same as your login on other systems. Your initial password is the letter "s" and the last six digits of your social security number, e.g. "s456789." To change your password, type the word "password" at the ph> prompt. You will be prompted for your old password (s456789) and then for your new password.

ph> login fred
Enter nameserver password:
200:fred:Hi how are you?

Now you need to tell ph what your homepage is:

ph> make homepage="http://hilltop.bradley.edu/~fred/"
200:1 entry changed.

If you are not sure of your homepage URL, go back and check the help page again. Remember, test it out before adding it to the database!

The homepages list will also use the nickname field (if it is available from the server) as your first name. To add your nickname:

ph> make nickname="Fred"
200:1 entry changed.

And finally, quit out of ph.

ph> quit
200:Bye!

Your change will be incorporated into the List of Bradley Homepages sometime overnight.
