File protocol: SFTP

Host name: home.ps.uci.edu

Someone must know the password. If not, consult the information technology folks to reset the password.

The group webpage is in the "public_html" folder. Each individual page sits in an individual folder and named "index.html." It helps to have a webpage software but you can still open the files with Windows "Notepad," reverse engineer, and edit the text. Please make backups before you make major changes.

If you are adding photos of new members, go the "grads" folder. With Adobe Photoshop, you can open the "gradthumbs.psd" file which contains layers that form a template.
1. Obtain a picture of the person of interest.
2. Select a square around the person's face, cut, and paste to a new file.
3. Convert the image to "grayscale," then shrink to 100 x 100 pixels.
4. Copy image into the opened "gradthumbs.psd" file benath "Layer 1."

For images, the maximum width is about 525 pixels.
