How to set-up a personal Mosaic Home Page

In order to set up a personal Mosaic Home Page you must (in this order)
  1. have an account on the botes2.tesre.bo.cnr.it machine, a MIPS DECStation running ULTRIX 4.3. Please, contact Massimo Trifoglio at extension 8706 if you do not have one;
  2. create in your home directory a directory called HTML;
  3. put in HTML the file index.html (see below);
  4. notify Mauro Orlandini (ext 8667) or Massimo Trifoglio (ext 8706) you have a Mosaic page.
That's it! If you have the file HTML/index.html, then you will access your home page with the following URL:
http://www.tesre.bo.cnr.it/~youraccountname/
where youraccountname is the name you use when you log-in (The ~ is necessary!).

I suggest you give a look at this tutorial on how to write an HTML page, and to give a look at the Taylor's Rules for Cool Web Pages before going on.
If you are lazy (and I know you are!!!) you can copy this template source file, and edit it.
For you folks who want to know a bit more about the HTML language, I put a HTML quick reference. You can print it by giving the command

lpr -h -Pps_laser /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/Manuals/quick-ref.ps to print in the third floor printer, or lpr -h -Pps_fast /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/Manuals/quick-ref.ps to print in the second floor printer.

Important!

While reading every HTML page, you can view the code that generated it by selecting the View Source button.
You can copy every HTML page by selecting the Save As... button, and choosing the desired format for saved document. The default is Plain Text but, by clicking on it, you can choose one of the Formatted Text, Postscript and HTML formats.
