Email list server webpub@cs.kent.edu

Every student can go to the list control panel to subscribe and perfrom other functions such as removing yourself from the list and browse past messages to the list.

After subscribing from the contorl panel, you'll get email from the list. Do not reply to this email even though it tells you to. Instead go to the URL given in that email and get yourself confirmed. You won't be officially joined untill you do that.

To reach every one on this list, simply address your email msg to webpub@cs.kent.edu. Be sure to indicate your reply email address in the body of your msg explicitly. When you use the reply function of your mail reader to respond to a piece of msg distributed by the list server, the reply will go to everyone on the list, not just the sender. To send a reply just to the sender, and not to everyone on the list, you need to address the msg explicitly to the sender, not to the list.

You can also access your CS mailbox at this web location. See this page for more info on getting to your email.

Happy discussions.

Points of discussion

  • A model web development process?

    See this draft process and give your ideas, comments, and feedback.

  • Testing Constructed Web Pages:

    1. Kier Selinsky <kier@enigmasolve.com>--- There's an easy way to test web pages... download microsoft's personal web server (PWS) from microsoft's site. it's part of windows nt service pack 4 (it will run on a win 95 machine). basicly it replicates a web server on your machine. you can put web pages on it and view them by going to 127.0.0.1 ... it's nice to have so that you don't have to wait for the page to download from the web and you're not tying up the phone line all the time, and you can get the page right before putting it on aegis and having to fix it using vi or emacs. just thought i'd let you guys know.
    2. Paul Wang---Actually, if you just use your Web browser and open any html or image file you can view it that way directly. Usually you would have a number of interlinked pages to test, and you should make the links in such a way that they won't break when moved to the installation site. In any case, you must visit your pages after they are installed and try each page and feature.
