public_html

Here's how you save stuff (like a picture) so it can appear on the web:
1. In your server folder (e.g. Marcy Brown's "mbrown" folder that comes up when she logs in), there should be a folder called public_html (make one if you don't see it) -- anything you put in this special folder is now on the web
2. For example, Marcy has a picture of "school spirit" she wants to share on her blog. She calls the picture spirit1.jpg and places it in the public_html folder. The web address for her picture is now http://www.dpts/sd57/bc/ca/~mbrown/spirit1.jpg
3. Press shift and the key next to the 1 on your keyboard to make the ~ (also called a tilde). Anything that is web-readable (e.g. ,jpg or .pdf or .doc or .mov) can now be seen using this process

More examples... Marcy has an assignment called resume.doc and a movie of another assignment called skills.mov she wants to make available o the internet. She puts them in the public_html folder and others can see them at http://www.dpts/sd57/bc/ca/~mbrown/resume.doc and http://www.dpts/sd57/bc/ca/~mbrown/skills.mov

Try it -- it's quite cool -- you can use this feature to post work, pictures, movies, whatever. If it works, leave a comment here showing others where to find your stuff and what they should be looking at. ou can even have folders inside your public_html folder so you can irganize things. I have a folder called blogpics inside mine, so (for example) a picture I have of a family of mullets is located at http://dpts.sd57.bc.ca/~gthielmann/blogpics/mullet.jpg
