student_ftp
The class web server now has a folder named student_ftp for students to store class-related resources which are not part of their website, such as class notes, Photoshop files, etc.
If you wish to use the student_ftp folder, create a subfolder for your files.
Give your subfolder the same name as you gave your subfolder under the website folder (www.htcwebcreative.com).
Web page conventions
Follow these web page conventions when creating class-related web pages.
See also Naming convention for more general information.
WordPress themes
In WordPress, a theme provides the HTML and CSS (the front end) which WordPress will use when generating web pages.
Many free themes are available, along with commercial themes.
You can create your own WordPress theme; we will do so in this class.
WordPress: any type of website
WordPress was originally written as blog software, but you can make any type of website with WordPress,
- Blogging can be omitted altogether
- Blogging can be re-branded as "News" or whatever, can appear on interior page(s) rather than home page.
- Custom post types allow you to specify new post types, which behave like blog posts, but are customized to your subject matter
- For example, profiles -- see [ Mondovi Dental]
Demonstrations
- WordPress installation
- phpMyAdmin - browser-based database management tool
