Manage Your Organization's Website
Organizations may manage their own content on MAIN
If an organization has one or more experienced web site developers, they can mange their own space at MAIN. MAIN will provide qualified organizations with a secure FTP account, so they can access and manage their content.
What are the steps in getting a web site published on MAIN?
Your initial contact should be with Nathan Jensen. He will determine if your organization is qualified to publish on MAIN and answer any general questions you may have. To let Nathan know you are interested in publishing at MAIN use this Form. At the top of the form you will be given four options. Select the second one.
Once Nathan approves your organization to publish on MAIN you will be assigned an FTP account. Please read about FTP accounts at MAIN.
Once your FTP account is set up, you can begin publishing. Please remember two things:
- You are limited to 1mb of disk space.
- This is a UNIX box, so file names are case sensitive. Match your file names with how you reference them in HTML or they will not work.
How do we determine your organization's URL?
Your URL (web address) will be:
http://www.main.org/directory name/
Example: www.main.org/boyscouts
You can request a directory name.
If the directory name you request is not in use already, we will usually let you use it. Make sure you request it at the time your FTP account is being set up.NOTE: The home page file name for your organization will (must) be index.html.
Wrapping Things Up
Once you have your Web site up and running, make sure you let us know. We need to link to it from appropriate category pages at MAIN. You may want to suggest what category or categories your organization should be linked from.
