Faculty/Staff Web Pages

Faculty and staff automatically receive space for Web pages as part of their general computing account.

Faculty and staff can publish Web pages on the "Pages" server. Following are instructions on using your favorite Web editing application to create a Web page:

• Publishing using Microsoft SharePoint Designer
• Publishing using Macromedia Dreamweaver 4/MX with WebDAV
• Connecting directly to Web file shares using Windows on campus (to edit files directly)
• Connecting directly to Web file shares using Windows off campus (to edit files directly)
• Connecting directly to Web file shares using Macintosh on campus (to edit files directly)
• Connecting directly to Web file shares using Macintosh off campus (to edit files directly)

Microsoft SharePoint Designer is the default Web publishing application used on campus by faculty and staff to manage, create and publish Web sites. However, many faculty and staff use other applications, such as Dreamweaver, Notepad/text editors and Netscape Composer.

Training sessions for publishing web pages are available through OTS Training.

By default, the Web addresses (URLs, or Uniform Resource Locators) are http://pages.towson.edu/username where username is the username of the faculty/staff member. Aliases can be requested to redirect http://www.towson.edu/username to http://pages.towson.edu/username. To request an alias, contact the OTS Help Center.
