There are a number of resources available at Evergreen for students who want to publish on the web. The first step is getting yourself some web space!
Contents
Requesting Web Space
Before you can publish on the web you'll need space. Web space is easily requested through the my.evergreen site. Login using your Evergreen username and password, click on the 'Request personal web space' link and you're done!
Web Development Software
Evergreen is well equipped with the software required to create and publish your own web site. Macromedia Dreamweaver is available on all of the computers within the ACC, GCC, and the CAL.
Workshops
There are a number of workshops offered each quarter for those looking to learn something new or simply brush up on some old skills. Be sure to check back often as the schedule changes quarterly!
Online Tutorials
In addition to the workshops offered at Evergreen, there are also online tutorials availble. The tutorials for web development are as listed below-
- Intro. to Photoshop CS3
- Intro. to Fireworks MX
- Optimizing Images
- Basic HTML
- Intro. to CSS
- Intro. to Dreamweaver
- Dreamweaver Plug-ins
- Intro. to Freehand
- Intro. to Flash CS3
Proper Use
Proper use of your web space is important. Please see the detailed explanation of Appropriate Use of It Resources.
Managing your website
FTP
Upload files using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. Some programs now have built in FTP utilities to let you upload pages and images to your website, but you may want to use a more powerful separate FTP program like Fetch, for Macs: http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/ You can apply for the free educational password at http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/Licensing/edustore.application.html
Or WSFTP, for Windows:
The basic information you need to configure any FTP program (or the Publish to Web feature of a bigger program) to communicate with your website is at:
http://www.evergreen.edu/netservices/Web/publishftp.htm
Detailed instructions for setting up Fetch are available.
If (and only if) you're on campus, you can also connect to your web directory on the network and just deal with the files directly, as if they were on some other disk drive connected to your machine. See instructions for connecting a Windows machine, and for connecting a Mac.
