+====== Personal Web Pages ======
-The [[:people]] is an area for physics computing users where you can create you own wiki pages.
+There are two main options for creating a personal homepage on the Physics & Astronomy systems: your own set of pages in this wiki, or traditional unix "public_html" html files.
-===== Personal Pages =====
+===== option 1: personal Wiki Pages =====
+A Wiki is a web based content management system where simple text-base syntax is used to form titles, links, formatting, etc. Wiki markup is easier to learn and manage than HTML. You edit your page(s) right in your web browser.

+===== option 2: personal HTML Pages =====
+public_html is a special directory you create in your physics & astronomy home directory. Then you write regular HTML files and place them inside. This is the most basic and traditional way to create a website. We also support php and cgi so you can create interactive web applications and forms.
+==== public_html setup ====
 You need to store your web pages in a directory named public_html in your Physics home directory.
-  * Log into your physics.umn.edu account (how to log in), and create the public_html directory to store your files:
+  * Log into your physics.umn.edu account using ssh, and create the public_html directory to store your files:
       mkdir -m 711 public_html

-===== Research Group web pages =====
-We can set up special areas for research groups or other projects such as conferences, either on our regular web server or within the Physics intranet wiki site.
-Permissions for such areas are set up via group membership. Make sure all directories and files in the area are group-writable, so that anyone in the correct group is able to edit them. In addition, you'll need to make sure files are world-readable, so that they can be accessed and displayed by the web server.
-  chgrp yourgroup filename     # Set the file to the group
-  chmod g+w filename           # Make it group writable
-  chmod a+rX filename          # make it readable (and eXecutable if necessary) to all
