Sample Homepages
by Anu Rao
Templates
We have two sample homepage formats available (for perusal
and downloading):
They contain examples of various HTML basics. You are welcome
to use either example, but are under no obligation to use
them for your departmental homepage. They are meant to be
used as tutorials/templates for beginners who need a starting
place. Have fun with them!
Note that your webpage is at
http://math.arizona.edu/~username/
where "username" is your username. The actual code (HTML
files) for your webpage lives in the
pub_http_internet subdirectory inside your home
directory. You might also read about our intranet and instructions on
how to publish web pages.
