Viewing your page on the web

This is still causing confusion. Here's how it works:

• Every student has a "home" directory on the Earlham file server called "PAX"
  .
• This 'home' directory or folder is mapped to a drive letter H:
  
  
• Within the home directory (H:) is a folder called www where your web site pages reside.
  This is where the "web server" looks when is displays a web page in Internet Explorer.
  
  
• "H:\www" is mapped to "~your username" by the web server.
  So "H:\www" for Kristin Keyes (username, 'keyeskr') becomes "http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr"
  
  
• a file saved as 'index.htm' is the 'home' page for the folder it's located in.
  So the 'h:\www\index.htm' for Kristin Keyes (username, 'keyeskr') is displayed by "http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr"
  
  
• Folders within "h:\www" are also part of the picture.
  But the back-slash "\" in the path gets switched to a forward-slash "/"
  So "h:\www\cricket" for Kristin becomes "http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr/cricket"
  
  
• and the page "cricket_beginners.htm" in this folder "h:\www\cricket\cricket_beginners.htm" becomes "http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr/cricket/cricket_beginners.htm"
