====== Create a Personal Webpage ====== In this tutorial, we will be teaching you how to use ECON's personal webpage templates to create your own personal webpage on the ECON website. You will be downloading and customizing these template pages using an HTML editor in order to fill the page with your personal information. **NOTE: All Job Market Candidate Sites MUST adhere to the ECON template design. An example can be found at [[http://econweb.umd.edu/~support/jobmarketexample/|this link]]**. //NOTE: If you are using a non-departmental computer, click the following link for instructions to access your Z drive: [[FTP]]// ===== Creating Your Webpage ===== - [[http://econweb.umd.edu/~support/econ-personal-template.zip|Download ECON's website templates by clicking here]]. - Unzip the downloaded templates into a folder. - Copy the unzipped files to the "public_html" folder located in your Z drive. \\ //Note: If "public_html" doesn't exist in your Z drive, you can create it yourself.// - Your website is now active, and will be accessible on the web at the URL: http://econweb.umd.edu/~username/, where "username" is your ECON username. ===== Your Webpage ===== The files you unzipped to your Z: drive are laid out as follows: * index.html : this is your main page, and what people see first when they visit http://econweb.umd.edu/~username * research.html : this page can be used to enter completed and ongoing research projects * teaching.html : this page can be used to enter classed in which you have instructed or assisted * files : this folder is where you will place any loose files on your site (e.g. PDFs, code, spreadsheets) * files/cv.pdf : this is where the "Curriculum Vitae" links on your pages lead to. Replace this with your own CV (but be sure to rename it to cv.pdf first). * files/profile.jpg : this is your main page profile image. Replace this with your own picture (but be sure to save it as a JPG file, and rename it to profile.jpg first). ==== Editing a Page ==== For this purposes of this tutorial, we are going to simply be using Notepad (or any equivalent text editor) to manually change the code directly within each file. For ease of use, we have labelled each item in the HTML code with "user-created" in order to make it easier to find what you want to edit. === index.html === {{:wiki:webpage-index.png?nolink|}} - **Name ("user-created-name")**: change the text within the
brackets to reflect any extra information you wish to convey.
=== research.html ===
{{:wiki:webpage-research.png?nolink|}}
You will find the following code in the "user-created" section of your research.html file.
Take this space to explain your project and any details you wish to include
* You can add as many of these divider elements to your page as needed. The template contains three by default, but you can copy and paste as you like.

tags to give your description more paragraphs.
=== teaching.html ===
{{:wiki:webpage-teaching.png?nolink|}}
