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. Please be aware that much of the information on the web, including sound and graphic images, may be protected by copyright and/or trademark. Information about copyright and trademark law, application, etc., is available at the following web sites:

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. Documentation elsewhere describes your initial ph 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://bradley.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.
