Faculty/Staff

Can Faculty and Staff have their own web sites?

Yes, Faculty and Staff may have a Web site for professional or educational use, so long as the site is designed in accordance with the Policies and Procedures for the Campus Web Site.

How do Faculty/Staff get web space?

Individual space on this server is called a Web share. Facuty or Staff who would like a web share need to file a work order with the CIT Help Desk (ext. 2309) requesting a web share. You will be notified once the work order has been completed.

What is the URL for my web site?

The web share is created on the main web server and urls for these types of sites will be http://www.uwgb.edu/username, where username is replaces by the faculty/staff member's campus network account. For example: http://www.uwgb.edu/ganyardp, is the URL for the University Webmaster, Paula Ganyard.

How do I get stuff on my web site?

Your web share is like any other network share you may have access to. You can copy, move, or create files within the web share. The difference between a Web share and another network share is is that anything you put in your web share can be accessed by anyone with Internet access. You do not want to put sensitive material or use this share as storage. See Connect Your Web Share for more information.

Web space for faculty/staff is to be used for web purposes only. This space is not a storage area for files. Anything on this share can be seen by the world and should only be there if it ia part of the web site.

Does the University have any templates that Faculty/Staff can use?

Yes, while you can create your web page in any way you wish,there are a few template designs available for you to use for your site.

Do I have to work on my web site on campus?

No, you may also work on your site from off campus. For details please see the Off Campus Access page.

Is there any training on creating web sites?

From time to time workshops on web developement are offered. Please consult the workshop schedule for those. A second option is online and multimedia resources. Please consult the Training & Support page from more details.
