First, create a www directory in your home directory:

type:

cd
md www
chmod 755 www


Then, you can move your template file into you www directory:

type:

mv home_template.html www/index.html


then change permission for the index.html

type:

chmod 644 index.html

------------------------------------------------------------
after you have done this, you can view your index.html by typing:

http://www.andrews.edu/~rickyk/


that way you can see the changes as you make them...

Then, once you have what you want in your index, email:

webmaster@andrews.edu

and tell them that you have a web page and you want to add it to the 
andrews list...
