Support Contact Information

There are five steps involved in creating and publishing an English faculty Web site:

  1. Obtaining and installing a copy of FrontPage
    Obtain a copy of FrontPage 2000 software from the English Department Chair. If you need help loading the software onto your office computer, call the Help Desk (x4357).
  2. Getting a BSU Web account
    Go to the OIT (Office of Information Technology) Web site http://oit.boisestate.edu/accountrequest and follow the instructions.

    Once you receive your username and password, contact the English FrontPage Server Administrator for a FrontPage Web. Your Web address will be of the form http://english.boisestate.edu/your-user-name.

    Your user name is ordinarily the first letter of your first name, followed by your last name (for example, jdoe).

    To login to your Web, you must add the character string boisestate\ to your user name (for example, your FrontPage username becomes boisestate\jdoe).
  3. Creating a Web site using FrontPage
    Support materials for creating Web sites are available at the English Dept FrontPage support Web site.
  4. Publishing your Web site
    Support materials for publishing your Web site are available at the English Dept FrontPage support Web site.
  5. Getting a link on the Department Web site
    To link to your site from the Department's faculty/staff Web page, contact the Department's Webmaster.
