Creating Your Own Personal Web Page on Athena

If you are a student at U of L, or a member of the faculty or staff, you can use the University computer systems to create your own World Wide Web pages. You must have an account on the Unix computer called "Athena". You can check the status of your accounts to find out if you already have an Athena account. If you don't have an Athena account, review the instructions for requesting an account. If you already have an account, but you've forgotten your password, you can bring a picture ID to one of the campus Computing Centers to have your password reset. To request more disk space, use the Athena Disk Space Request Form. Instructions for creating a department web page are also available.

Setting up your web site

1. Visit the following web page:

         https://vhost.louisville.edu/webmaint/

2. Login with your ULink userid and password.

3. Click on the "Manage Athena Accounts" link.

4. Click on the "Enable/Disable Personal Website" link.

5. Click on the button labeled "Click here to enable your website!"

6. Click on the button labeled "Yes" to confirm that you want to enable the web site.

7. Click on the "Logout" link.

That's all there is to it. Your very own web page is now visible to the world. People can access your page at the following address (replacing "userid01" with your own):
