Build the Web!

Any student, staff or faculty member with an account on an UCS system can create their own personal site on the World Wide Web. UCS also provides space for student organizational pages as well as hosting official departmental sites on www.fsu.edu.

WWW @ FSU is intended as a brief overview of some of the skills you will need to build a webpage on UCS systems. For further information consult any good bookstore -- most of them have shelves which are groaning under the weight of all the HTML/WWW manuals. And, of course, don't forget the Web itself -- the best possible source of information on the Web. The Web References Masterlist contains plenty of pointers to further info.
