In order to create a homepage you need to place your HTML documents in a
world readable directory named "www" in your home directory.  This
directory is automatically created for new accounts, so in most cases
you should not need to create it.  If it does not exist, and you do need
to create this directory, use the commands:

    cd
    mkdir -p www
    fs sa www system:anyuser rl

to do so. This creates a directory named www into which you will 
place all file relating to your homapege. Now, within that directory, 
you have to create a file (such as home.html) written in html format.
Note that HTML documents MUST end in ".html".

For an introduction to programming in html, you may want to check out
the following URL:

    http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimer.html

Once you have created your home.html file, the URL for that page would be:

    http://web.mit.edu/username/www/home.html

Or, you can access the home.html file through the SIPB web server through

   http://www.mit.edu/~username/home.html

If you want your page to be listed in the www.mit.edu index as well, you
need to send email to webmaster@mit.edu requesting this. Your page will
then also be available via the URL:

    http://www.mit.edu/people/username/home.html

Additionaly, you can request that your page be listed on the 
MIT Student Homepages list.
