====== Web Publishing Introduction ======

For a quick start to publish web pages from your Physics account, carry out the steps given in the section [[:computing:accounts:web_publishing:personal|Personal web pages]]. The section Tools gives a quick introduction to some software you might find useful when creating your pages. The rest of this page attempts to give a few pointers to resources we've found useful on the web. Some of them are reference works, some are highly opinionated...

===== Some useful web publishing resources =====

One very useful and interesting resource is [[http://www.photo.net/wtr/thebook/index.html|Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing]]. Unlike many web guides, this covers the overall planning of your web pages; what should be presented there and how it can be organised; as well as having a quick introduction to HTML.

You should also consult the [[http://www1.umn.edu/tc/guidelines/|University of Minnesota World Wide Web publishing guidelines]], at least some of which is sensible advice (it also does contain some requirements for university-hosted pages).

Some more possibly useful resources, including HTML reference guides:

  * [[http://www.werbach.com/barebones/|Bare Bones Guide to HTML]]
  * [[http://www.boutell.com/faq/|World Wide Web FAQs, including some information on web browsers and CGI programming]]

Once you have produced a web page, it is also a good idea to [[http://validator.w3.org/|validate it using the W3C HTML Validation Service]] to check for HTML errors.
