Graduate Student Website F.A.Q.'s

Graduate student website tutorial

Where is my graduate student departmental website?

All the graduate student individual websites are on a windows based web-server named Chronos. Chronos is accessible via the web (http) and by fileshare.

How do I edit my webpage?

1. Be on the Geology department network (VPN from home works fine too).
2. Go to your directory at \\chronos\geoweb\GGstudent\*yourUserName*. If you are unsure about how to do this, see the step by step instructions here: http://www.gg.uwyo.edu/ggcs/tech/PC/connect.html
3. Use an HTML editor to update your website.
4. Done. The webserver will automatically use your new page.

What is my department webpage URL ?

Your website URL (what you type into a web-broswer to see your website) is named:
http://www.gg.uwyo.edu/ggstudent/*yourUserName*

If your index.html file is more deeply nested, you need to give the pathname to your index.html file. For example: www.gg.uwyo.edu/ggstudent/fflintstone/mysite/is/deep/index.html

What is the index.html file?

It is the first file the a web server looks for by default and should be your home page. Chronos is configured to also use index.htm, default.htm, and default.html.

Does the department have an html editor I can use?

At this time, no. However, a number of editors are available online for free or small fee. Also, you can use almost any commercially available app (such as Word, Excel, TextEdit (mac)) to save html files.
