How to put your MIT home page on the Web: A Quick Guide

If you are part of the MIT Community, you will find this document helpful for getting started with a new home page. Note that only MIT Community members can have their home pages added.

Content in the www directory in your Athena home directory is served at http://www.mit.edu/~username and http://web.mit.edu/username/www.

Once you've added some content to your website, fill out the form below or email the pathname of your home page to stuffmaster@mit.edu. Don't forget to include your name as you wish to have it listed. You will receive an email response when your page has been added. Waiting time ranges from seconds to days depending on our hosage. Although your home page can be accessed from many URLs, we will give you a new URL in the form of:

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

or
http://stuff.mit.edu/people/username/home.html

Do not be alarmed when you see this new URL. It simply points to your ~/www/home.html file. Many people submit web.mit.edu URLs; we will always create a new www.mit.edu URL when we receive a request.

Your MIT username:           (eg, jflorey)

The path to your home page:  (filename or URL)

Name as it is to be listed:  (eg, Jack Florey III)
 
We only accept real names for proper indexing.

Note that only MIT Community members can have their home pages added.
