COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS COMPOSER

Your Web pages will be on line for all to see if you follow the instructions below.

If you have done your office visit, then you have already done the following as part of the questionnaire.

Find or have a friend take a digital photograph of yourself (a good head shot will do) and put it in the public.www folder of your Rowan H: drive. Make sure the photograph is in a file named exactly picture.jpg (all lower case, .jpg extension, no blanks, no numbers, no punctuation except the period). This must be done by the day and time of your office visit and will help me learn your name more quickly.

Put your web pages in your public.www folder on your H: drive. Your initial starting page should be called index.htm and placed in the folder public.www.

The URL to your web page will be http://users.rowan.edu/~username/index.htm where username is replaced with your Rowan login name. This will display the index.htm page. If you wanted to bring up another page you would need to refer to it explicitly, i.e., http://users.rowan.edu/~username/mypage.htm

Do the following to make sure everything is working so far.

1. Log in to the Rowan network using your username and passowrd.
2. Download this file, index.htm, and save it in the public.www folder of your H: drive. Right-click the link, select ``Save Link As...'' or ``Save target as...'' and navigate to the public.www folder in your H: drive. Make sure the file name saved is exactly index.htm, not index.html or index.htm.html.
3. Visit the Web page http://users.rowan.edu/~username/index.htm where username is replaced with your Rowan network login name.
4. It should look like what you see when you left-click on the index.htm link above.
5. You will replace this with your real Web page in the composer project.

Spruce up your résumé for summer job hunting (not graduating this December or May) or full-time employment (graduating seniors). The CAP center in Savitz can help you prepare a professional résumé. Prepare a cover letter to which your résumé will be attached. Register with eCampusRecruiter. You will link your cover letter and résumé into your Rowan Web page. They will eventually picked up by the global search engines! The composer project web page has more details.

We will use Mozilla composer (instructor's machine) and SeaMonkey composer (student machines) in class. If you want, you can try out the nvu program and use that instead. Here are several Mozilla composer tutorials I found last year by googling ``Mozilla composer tutorial.''

As it turns out, Nvu is a stand-alone more advanced version of Mozilla composer, and you can try it out of you want. Nvu can be downloaded for free from www.nvu.com. Here is a tutorial for Nvu.

Mozilla has been replaced with SeaMonkey, available for free download from www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey if you want to put it on your own computer.
