For a quick start to publish web pages from your Physics account, carry out the steps given in the section 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…

• Personal web pages
• Research or project web sites
• "Active" websites (php/cgi/mod-perl etc)
• Access control
• Tools
• Uploading files
• File transfers without FTP

One very useful and interesting resource is 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 organized; as well as having a quick introduction to HTML.

UTTC has some introductory material on HTML.

You should also consult the 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:

• Bare Bones Guide to HTML
• 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 validate it using the W3C HTML Validation Service to check for HTML errors.
