Place Content in Preferred Unix public_html directory

Web content placed in the U:\public_html folder will automatically show up at

http://www2.bren.ucsb.edu/~username

where username is your Bren username. You can edit content using the web editor of your choice..

We have also provided a redirect facility from www.bren.ucsb.edu to redirect ~username links to the www2.bren.ucsb.edu address. This is useful when advertising your own page, because you can use the following address:

http://www.bren.ucsb.edu/~username

The exception here is for faculty who in the past preferred having the above URL redirected to the old http://www.bren.ucsb.edu/fac_staff/fac/username. We recommend you move your content to the new location. Please let us know if you would like this redirection updated via email to webmaster@bren.ucsb.edu.

For example, if you would like to link content placed here from your People page editable via option 1 above, content placed at

U:\public_html\somefolder\somefile.htm

would be publicly viewable and linkable at

http://www2.bren.ucsb.edu/~username/somefolder/somefile.htm

Please note that any page called default.htm (or default.html, index.htm or index.html) will automatically be displayed when browsing to a folder. So, the homepage for your website should be saved to U:\public_html\default.htm.

To include the border content of the Bren website for a "Bren look", use the following html code for your webpage:

<!--#include virtual="/bren_header.inc" -->
Content here.
<!--#include virtual="/bren_footer.inc" -->

The include statements (in italics) above do all the work for you. You need only update the page title and content (in bold).
