Personal Web Sites

Your MySanDiego account comes with space for a Web site if you opt to activate it and use it. Note we are currently beta-testing a self-service personal Web site/blog system based on the popular WordPress platform. To provision an account please contact web@sandiego.edu.

For traditional Web account space please see steps below. To get started:

1. Activate your Web site space: This will create a Web address for you much like the following:
   
   http://www.sandiego.edu/~username/
   
   
2. Post to your site using our online File Manager or download an SFTP client to upload files. All site connection settings for personal sites are available online. Note that you should use your MySanDiego username and password (i.e. what you use for e-mail and the portal).
   
   
3. Attend a training if you need to. Note that our personal trainings are based on Adobe Dreamweaver software.
   
   
4. Purchase software via our online Adobe order form. Note that this must be funded through your department so supervisor or department chair approval is needed.
   
   If you opt not to purchase software, you can use the free Netscape Composer (7.x) and our File Manager or an SFTP client to create, edit, and upload material.
