Notes for Class 8: Project Workshop 2


This page contains materials intended to facilitate class discussion (excerpts from readings, outlines of issues, links to resources, etc.). The materials are not necessarily the same as the instructor's teaching notes and are not designed to represent a full exposition or argument. This page is subject to revision as the instructor finalizes preparation. (Last revised 2/3/00)

  1. Access to your project site
  2. Discussion of project ideas
  1. Tech Workshop


Access to your project site

Designate a Page Title (if the title is colorful or arcane, there should also be a subtitle that clarifies what the page is about)

  • The instructor will then create a folder for you on the server and populate it with a set of blank template pages
  • You will have FTP permission to your folder on the server, allowing you to download a copy of the template files, revise them, and upload them again. FTP Information:
    • FTP server = english.ucsb.edu
    • Remote server directory = /transweb/
    • Login:
      • userid =[your last name in lowercase] (example: smith)
      • password = [first initial, perm number, last initial; lowercase and no spaces] (example: j1234567s)
  • In addition to your main folder, there is also a folder set aside on a separate part of the server for your Filemaker database pages (for the Timeline and Linkbase). Unless you wish otherwise, the instructor will tailor these Filemaker-related pages to your specification, since they include special code in addition to HTML designed to allow the Web to "talk to" a database program running in the background on the server.
  • The URL for your site is in the following form:
    http://transcriptions.english.ucsb.edu/topics/i-theory/
  • The URL for your Filemaker pages is in the following form:
    http://english.ucsb.edu:591/transcriptions/topics/i-theory/db/index.html
