There is a default information page for each user. This is linked to from /users/index.php and can not be edited (although you can update your details using the User Management options. It provides contact information and lists of latest publications. Assuming that you have a file called either index.html, index.htm or index.php in your home directory, then a link is also provided to that (assumed the main page of your personal site). Your home directory is generally the one that is defaulted to by the file manager (unless you are an administrator). If you are unsure, there is a link to your home directory at the top of the file manager.

Personal Webpages can be created just as any standard webpage in whichever is your preferred html editor. My personal preference is to use dreamweaver (there is a demo which is freely available over the internet). The files can be uploaded here, provided you have a valid username and password. If you want the pages to have the same look and feel as the rest of the site, here are some simple tips:

• At the top of the page, put the code <?php include("position.php");
  include($rel_path."top.php"); ?>
• At the end of the page, put the code <?php include($rel_path."bottom.php"); ?>
• Try to avoid specifying font except in rare instances for emphasis (e.g. making a couple of words red so they stand out).
• If you want titles, then there are some standard styles defined - <h2> and <h3> - although if you want a truly accurate integration, you have to edit the source code and type "<?php create_header(2,"Add your title here"); ?>" (without the surrounding ").

If you have used the file manager, you will have noticed that there are some extra files in your home directory. This is to provide a photo gallery. By uploading photos (.jpg files) to the pictures folder (or any sub folder), the photos will automatically be added to the photo gallery (gallery.php, which also gets linked to from the default information page once photos have been uploaded). Using a sub-folder allows you to categorise your photos - the category title is given (by default) the name of the folder.
To change the title of a section, the description, or to add a caption for a photo, first make sure you are logged in. The go to your photo gallery. Click on the link "Edit Section Descriptions" in the relevant section. From there it's self-explanatory. The text can be anything you want, including html tags (for links, new lines etc).
