Conceptual Aspects

Home page
The objective of my home page is to illustrate who I am and what I am doing. I also want the people whom I love to appear at my home page since I miss them very much. I want it to be as simple as possible. Besides I want to link it to some important sites where I can find resources for my work.

Work page
The objective of my work page is simply to show what I have done in TECFA.

Technical aspects

I used Emacs to create all the pages, since it is required to use HTML language to do the work, although I found that it is much easier to use Netscape Composer. For some of the pages I used Netscape Composer and then I opened them in Emacs to modify. But unfortunately they appear not as smart as in Netscape Composer. At the moment they will remain ugly for a while and I will improve them later on.

Processes taken

From the very beginning I have been working on my home page with Emacs. It is really hard to try to memorize all the HTML commands. At first I found it is hopeless to realize what I desired for my home page. But fortunately I obtained a Chinese version of  HTML manual which helped me a lot in my work. But it is very simple. There are only the basic commands in it. I had to change my mind whenever I can not have it appear on the page because of the technical problems. For example I want to welcome people to come to my home page with some animation, but I failed to do it. And then I changed it to blinks which appear not so good but it is better to greet people "seriously". Another problem I met is that if I saved the file in disk O and later on when in Emas I opened file in O, the file didn't appear. So I had to save it on the local computer and after a day's work to save it again on O.
For the work page, at first I used Netscape Composer at mentioned above and then I learned the requirements. So I had to transform it by using Emacs.
The most complicated problem now is transference between the disks. As above mentioned, I saved all my files both in disk O and in the local PC. Now as required  I have to send all the related files in "export/comm.....". There are quite a few changes in the names, thus the resources of the pages have to be modified otherwise the related things will not appear.
For MOO, it is the biggest the problem. I am completely lost there. I don't know what I can do there. It seems to me that it is simply a place to talk. I think it is because I have not learned the commands or the basic ideas of it. I will try to find the manuals of it and I hope I will learn.
