Starter HTML File. This is a large header(inside the h2 and /h2 codes)


You can use your web browser program to download this source file. Then you can enter your own text using your word processing program (be sure to save the file as a PLAIN TEXT file).

This is a smaller header (inside the h3 and /h3 codes).


A BR creates a break (like the one at the end of this line)

This line will appear in bold
That all you need. Just replace some of the text in this file (but don't change any of the codes that are inside of the angle brackets) and you will have a ready-to-run web page.

The last steps are to place the file in your own directory on the campus UNIX system. Follow these steps:

1. Access the campus UNIX system in the usual way (as if you were going to check your e-mail).
2. If you have never created a special directory for your web pages, at the system prompt (when you first enter the UNIX system), enter the following to create a special directory
md htdocs
3. Then you create the file for your web page by opening the on-line word processing program and copying this file to it. Enter
pico starter.html
4. The PICO text editing program will start and the system will display a blank page. Copy and paste the text in this file into the PICO file (you don't have to copy these steps), then quit PICO by pressing and holding down the CONTROL key while you press the letter x key. Answer "yes" by pressing the letter y key and then pressing the RETURN key.
5. The last step is to change the access settings so others have permission to view this file using their web browsers. Enter
chmod a+r starter.html

That's it. You should now be able to access the starter.html file using your web browser program. The URL address should be:
http://www.csulb.edu/~yourlogonname/starter.html

(Replace the YOURLOGONNAME with your own logon name.)
