Faculty & Staff -- Getting Started with Web Publishing on Spinner
Spinner is the College's Web server for faculty and staff to post Web pages to. In order to publish your pages to Spinner, you must first obtain a Spinner server account. To obtain a Spinner account, contact the Webmaster for an application. Allow 7 business days for your application to be processed.
Tips and Information for First Time Users
- Don't use 'spaces' within filenames, they will not work correctly; use an 'underscore' character (_).
- Avoid using capital letters within filenames. The Web is case-sensitive when it comes to filenames.
- Always keep backup copies of your entire web site in case of accidental deletion or server crash.
- Try to use one of the following as the filename for your homepage: index.html, homepage.html, default.html, home.html or welcome.html.
- You can either use an .html or .htm extension when saving your HTML files.
- Use Secure FTP to update web pages. Dreamweaver MX 2004 and above support Secure FTP.
