ARCHIVED: Add or remove a link from the IU Directory of Personal Home Pages to a web page

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

At Indiana University, UITS maintains and publishes the Directory of Non-departmental Home Pages.

Your display name and home page title and a link to your personal home page will be included automatically in this list only if the following criteria are met:

  • The filename of your personal home page is home.html or index.html. You may want to start by editing the home-template.html file and renaming it to home.html or index.html.
  • The home.html or index.html file exists in your www subdirectory.
  • Your home.html or index.html file is web-accessible; that is, all the directory and file permissions are correct.

If you have included a valid HTML title (for example, <title>My Document Title</title>) at the top of your home.html or index.html document, the title will be included in the personal home page list along with your name and display name.

Note:
The display name may not always appear correctly.

If you want to publish information on the web, but do not wish to be automatically listed, create files with names other than home.html and index.html in the web subdirectory. If your home page is currently listed, you can change the names of the relevant files and your entry will be removed the next day. For your home page to appear at the URL username.pages.iu.edu (where username is your username), use one of the following alternatives to home.html: home.htm, home.shtml, index.html, index.htm, or index.shtml. Otherwise, that URL will return an error.
