One of the benefits of ProgClub membership is free web-hosting. To create your member web-pages SSH to progclub.net, login, and create a 'public_html' directory in your home directory. Put your web content (e.g. your HTML or PHP files) in the public_html directory, and you will have a web-site available from Member Net: http://www.progclub.net/
If you're new to web-standards like HTML and CSS -- or if you're just starting out with PHP -- and you find those instructions confusing, then speak to John and he'll help get you on your feet.
Tips for member web-pages
There are a few things you can do with your member web-page(s) to integrate well with ProgClub and Member Net. Somewhere in your navigation include links back to:
- ProgClub: http://www.progclub.org/
- Member Net: http://www.progclub.net/
- Your wiki user page
Mobile Net
If you're interested you can also create a mobile-friendly version of your member pages. Just put your content in your home directory in a directory called 'public_mobile' and you'll automatically be integrated with Mobile Net.
Copying web content from Windows
If you're using the Microsoft Windows operating system and have some PHP/HTML/CSS/graphics files that you'd like to copy into your public_html or public_mobile directories, check out the free WinSCP utility. It even integrates with PuTTY's pageant utility if you've setup private key authentication.
