How to HTML (and CSS)

To view the source code for any website:

In Firefox use "Ctrl+U" or "Tools > Web Developer > Page Source"
In Safari, "Option+Command+U"
In Internet Explorer, "View > Source"
If all else fails, you can just save the .html file onto your computer and open it in a text editor


Uploading your website

  1. Download and install FileZilla
  2. Server: zoology.ubc.ca
  3. Username: your zoology username
  4. Password: your zoology password
  5. You should have a "www" folder on your webspace. This is where you want to upload the files for your website. Afterwards, you should be able to see the website at: www.zoology.ubc.ca/~your_username_here
  6. The parallel process should work for the botany server (botany.ubc.ca), but I've never tried it.
