New Student Web Guide

If you are a new student at the University of Virginia, a sample Web page has already been created for you. You may view your sample Web page at http://people.virginia.edu/~[your computing ID]

For instance, if your computing ID is mst3k, your web page is viewable at

http://people.virginia.edu/~mst3k

You can make changes to the appearance of your website by modifying the home.html file, which is stored in the public_html directory under your home directory on blue.unix (e.g., /home/mst3k/public_html). You can create more files and add them to the site as well, linking them into your home page or accessing the URLs directly from a browser.

Example: If user mst3k created a file called "aboutme.html" and placed it in the /home/mst3k/public_html directory, the URL for the file would be:

http://people.virginia.edu/mst3k/aboutme.html
