Developing Department/Group Sites

Every department, institute, and student group at Metropolitan State College of Denver is welcome to create and post their own web site. Below are the basic steps to develop and publish departmental web sites on campus. If you need assistance throughout the process, please send mail to webmgr@mscd.edu.

  1. Requesting an Account
    Once you have developed your site, you will need to make it accessible to the world. Please follow the steps provided to obtain a group account.
  2. Changing Your Web Account Password
    As a good operating practice departmental/group account passwords are set to expire every six months. This document explains how to change your departmental/group password.
  3. Creating HTML Documents
    The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the foundation of the World Wide Web. You must either learn the basics of HTML or learn to use one of many HTML Editors.
  4. Transfering Your Files to the Server
    You will need to transfer your HTML documents from your local machine to your account on Clem. The document provided outlines how to accomplish this using FTP or for Faculty/Staff using Dreamweaver.
    • Defining a Site in Dreamweaver
      Dreamweaver is available on the standard image for faculty and staff. This document outlines how to configure Dreamweaver to serve as both your html editor and ftp client.
  5. Quick Guide to UNIX Commands
    You will need to store your HTML documents in a UNIX account on the Clem system. You should learn some basic commands to aid in this process. This document outlines some very basic UNIX commands and their uses.
