Lab 10 Help UNDER CONSTRUCTION © R. Craig Collins, 2009

General Lab Directions
Note: There is not enough time in lecture to cover all the material; read your book BEFORE you begin the lab
Note: Typically labs will require you to invest some time in the lab, outside of class lecture hours

• Get an account on some non-college web server, if you have not done so, such as
      Bravenet's Free hosting (see info below on using the free service) or Lycos's Free Tripod , etc.
• OPTIONAL: If you are planning to actually continue to use this, you may wish to investigate fee charging sites like
      $3/mo 1and1.com, www.godaddy.com, or the slightly more expensive, but perhap better service with SuperNova.net

Go to www.bravenet.net
Choose 'free webhosting & domains'
Choose the 'Free' option

After registering, you will be prompted to provide a subdomain, I suggest you use your name
(for my account, my username was robertcraigcollins and I made my domain robertcraigcollins, so my url is
robertcraigcollins.bravehost.com
[note to upload it is bravenet.net,
but to view it is bravehost.com])

When returning to bravenet.net, log in, and under web hosting, choose your site, under Free Websites

Choose file manager


Using the File Manager (see image below for visual reference of where each tool is located

Once in the file manager, you need a working index.html
-Option 1 , delete index.html and choose Upload files, and upload your index.html
-Option 2, you may also edit the existing index.html instead, using text/visual editors

Then Make Directory, and call it pages (directories and folders are the same thing)
Then Make Directory, and call it images (directories and folders are the same thing)

Switch to your pages folder, then choose Upload files, and upload your content
Switch to your images folder, then choose Upload files, and upload your content

Notes, you may also use their ftp applet

Don't forget to use lower case file and foldernames, and don't use spaces in files or folders
