If you don't have a Grove website yet, check the page on URLs for reminders and links.

To publish your webpage from a personal computer to your Grove account, you can use the publishing feature of Netscape Composer. Full instructions can be obtained from CIRCA. This does not let you see your directory the way the FTP client does.

In Netscape Composer, access the publishing feature via the icon or the File menu. You will see a dialogue box. On the first line, you can enter the title of your page (the short title, designed for the Netscape window bar, which you gave it under "Format--page properties").

The next line is the filename, for example index.htm or Syll1130.htm . Check to be sure you have typed this name exactly, including capitalization. If you wish to replace an old version of this file already published, you must have the name match the published version. If you wish to have all links among your own pages work, you must be sure the names of the pages match the names you have programmed into the links (for example, a link from your home page to syll1130.htm will not work if you publish the page with the filename Syll1130.htm or syll1130.html).

The next line is the "Http or ftp location to publish to." Here type in

ftp://grove.ufl.edu/home/<username>/public_html

where <username> is your Grove account user id (for example, jshoaf).
 
Then type in your username and password, click on the "Files associated with this page" (this will upload your image files automatically), and o.k.

You may get some error messages but the proof is in the pudding--check in the browser to see that your work has appeared by going to http://grove.ufl.edu/~<username>/filename where the username is your Grove user I.D. and the filename is the name of the page involved (e.g. syll1130.htm). If you had been looking at the file in an old version, you will need to reload to see the new one.

(Note: if you are sharing a personal computer, be careful and considerate about setting default passwords and publishing sites.)

The best way to edit your page is to keep the final copy of all your pages, with all the related images, on a diskette (or on your hard drive) and replace the old file with the edited file as necessary. Keep the names identical to the ones you expect to publish so that all the image and inter-page links will work.

Alternatively, you can go to your page in Netscape Browser and select "Save as..." or "Edit Page" to get a copy of the page to edit and re-send. The replacement page should have exactly the same name as the former version, or both versions may end up on the same directory.

To publicize your work, see if you can get a link from the Romance Studies Page. If you are on any listservs that might be interested in your work, you can tell them about the page, too, or add the address to your email signature. If you have developed pages that might be of general interest, you can use the Excite search engine (http://www.excite.com) to publicize the area of interest.
